Windsurfing: Cooden Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: F4-5 Surf / Sea State: flat Air Temperature: warm Sea Temperature: warm Weather: sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Perfect 6.5 weather at Cooden. I pitched up there because I didn't want to
get snarled up in the Air Show traffic. Haven't sailed Cooden for ages and
there was just a kite out when I arrived. About two minutes later VFW Mark
turned up (was he waiting round the corner?) and we both rigged 6.5's.
Well I rigged it and sailed for about an hour and then he finally joined me
on the water along with the mother of all lulls. Up until that moment, it
was about as nice as a sunny afternoon can be. I was zooming the big boats
about a mile and half out and getting zoomed by the air show jets. Then
the lull took me into a hell hole of submerged rocks. All this barefoot
talk is tosh. My feet are now all sliced up and because I couldn't take a
firm step to climb out, my knees, shins and hands are all sliced up too -
nice. The wind came back enough for me to limp back upwind with blood all
over my board and boom, so I called it a day even though it looked like it
was picking up. Apart from the Freddy Kruger rock slashing, it was a
really good day.
