I think desperation has set in now as it's been such a poor month that with a little breeze moving the trees in the garden and the decorating finished for the day I headed for The Dip after dinner.With the wind being slightly off but had readings of 16+ mph on the gauge decided to take a chance and rig the 8.5 and try the Falcon 120.After floundering out to the red and white bouy the little wind there was all but disappeared :) so when I dropped the rig turning I was in trouble as the board was next to impossible to uphaul which was a big surprise for a board so big - should never have sold the carve 145 !!!! After trying without success to waterstart a charter fishing boat picked me up as I was drifting fast downwind in the strong tide and would never made it back to the Felixstowe side :( The Felixstowe ferry harbour master then took me ashore and then I had a mile walk the get my van !!! So not one of my better sessions :( but some wind coming for the bank holiday weekend but turning cold and wet !!!!
