Windsurfing: Point Clear Wind Direction: s Wind Stength: 25 to 30 mph Surf / Sea State: flatish Air Temperature: 15 Sea Temperature: 14 Weather: cloudy and wet Max Speed: 31 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 18 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
With the forecast all over the place today I postponed my first visit to
West Kirby - will get there one day !!! and headed over to give Point Clear
ago even though south is not a brilliant direction :( So up at 7 on the
road by 8, PC at 9 to find 6 kiters already out including Dave White !!!
Met up with Peter Cutts and with winds gusting over 30 kts went with 5.8 on
the slalom board as to get to the lagoon involved a big beat and the wind
was gusty :( Having made it into the lagoon which was choppy ,Pete,s luck
ran out when the battery on his gps went flat and he had to return for his
spare :( So I had the whole lagoon to myself as D White's kite gang had
swopped to windsurfing gear and headed off to West Mersea !!! So I had
loads of runs along the bottom of the lagoon in far from ideal conditions -
gusty wind,bumpy water and heavy rain but I managed several 30 s (with a
max of 31) on the gps which was not too bad as the run was very short ! I
might have been better off going to Levington but it was abit of an
adventure and I had the whole lagoon to myself apart a single seal :) Pete
give up with the speed kit and went and enjoyed the waves with 4.3 !!!
