Windsurfing: Gorleston-on-Sea Wind Direction: NNW Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: flat and rollers Air Temperature: 15 Sea Temperature: 17 Weather: Grey Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Kessingland looked perfect for Northerly but arrived to find a tiny parking
area, sea about 200 yards away and wind about a mile away. Darren arrived
and we set of for Lowestoft confident wind would be cross-shore. Arrived to
find plenty of parking , sea 50 yards away and still no wind.
Determined to get some sailing in we set off for Gorleston and updated Ian
on itinerary so he caught us there. Finally, good parking, lovely sandy
beach, grass to rig on, gentle rollers but still no effing wind. Rigged 7m
and had a few runs but in the end admitted defeat, packed up (even a tap to
rinse gear with), bought some chips and stepped back 40 years to hear a
brass band on the beach green playing Frank Sinatra, Vera Lynn and Procul
Harem. (whiter Shade of Pale for fans). Ace place if any wind. Wind was 1*,
but chips, wind and brass band worth another *.
