Windsurfing: Ynyslas Estuary Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: 30 knots Surf / Sea State: Flat Air Temperature: 6ºC Sea Temperature: 9ºC Weather: Sunny spells Max Speed: Distance Covered:
A lovely flat water session in the Estuary. I first tried to find someone
to go out with later in the day from the Lifeboat Station, but no one
wanted to so I decided to sail in the estuary instead. I got there at high
tide and found AndyW and Jules had just arrived.
I quickly rigged a 5m and got out there while Andy rigged his 5.3. I was
completely maxed out on the 5m, when Andy came out the wind picked up even
more, so we both went in and changed down to 4.5m sails instead. This was
just perfect. Not quite enough wind in the lee of the dunes so we sailed
out towards the point and away from the shelter of the dunes where we had
an excellent session. Well powered up the whole time and the relatively
flat water led to some mad speed runs with crazy flat out gybes at the end
of them.
Just perfect.
Just as I was about to call it a day a guy sailed over from Aberdovey, so I
stayed out a little longer, but once he was joined by 3 other people from
Aberdovey Andy and I packed up as the water was receeding fast.
Derek was out kite-surfing off the seafront later in the day.
