Windsurfing: Calshot Wind Direction: n Wind Stength: 10/15 Surf / Sea State: choppy Air Temperature: 18 Sea Temperature: 17 Weather: sunny periods Max Speed: 21.85 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 10 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
After a wonderful kayak up the Beaulieu River yesterday and with the
forecast not being brilliant for windsurfing down there today I was not
holding my breath :( Lepe was light and offshore so we tried Calshot which
was'nt too bad with a couple of kiters out.I rigged big and decided to go
for a cruise in the Solent.I sailed nearly 4 miles out towards Portsmouth
but the wind was very up and down and it was very choppy :( the sail back
to the lagoon behind the Calshot windsurfing shop was fun following in the
wake of a large motor cruiser :) A quick trip around the lagoon followed by
a run back to the van for lunch.I had a couple of short reaches but was
poor so packed up and went shopping in Southampton !!!
