Who got out today? Have you seen the forecast for the weekend
It was blowing a hoolie most of the day today - gusting to 50 knots in the estuary at times.
I had planned to go out but had to go for a run first... Trouble is towards the end of the run I had to make a bit of an emergency
detour home and cut the run short by a mile for a rather urgent toilet visit... Stomach hasn't quite felt right since so I didn't
manage to get out for a windsurf after all.
I'm sure there'll be more wind soon though. The weekend is looking pretty tasty at the moment.

Pot noodles are a bit much for my ageing gums these days.

Not as much by the time we pitched up at 11:30ish, but nevertheless had a cracking little sail in the estuary. Me, Snoozer, Dunc and
Badger out in10-20+ knots with glorious sunshine.
A most excellent couple of hours

Yep, I went for a bike ride and it had eased off by the time I got back and then went VERY gusty... Picked up again later on though but
by then it was time for a curry!

Yep - Dunk and Badger got out and I nearly did but a bust valve in my 5.5m kite (and the prospect of traversing the mud to get to the
water) put me off. Felt very cold to me too - couldn't feel fingers after only a couple of minutes of fiddling with the dodgy valve..
Yesterday was a nice sail after a sparse few months though.

I went for a swim in the sea in Aberystwyth and then for a run but after that couldn't quite muster the enthusiasm to get cold and wet
again.... It was like winter out there and its nearly May!!.

Yep - It wind really picked up this afternoon and it is still sunny here in LLanafan so probably in Borth too - too late to get down
now though. Really wish I had at lunchtime but loads of work to do and I was convinced it would be pouring down by mid afternoon !
