Another gorgeous day in paradise with Ivor doing his thing.

No wind elsewhere, but it was honking in the estuary. 30-35 knots for while but I waited for the tide to drop and the sandbanks to show before going in, by which time it had settled down nicely to a solid 25-30 knots NE.

Well powered with my 5.2m North Warp and Fanatic Falcon Speed board, although once on a proper speed run I wanted more power! Nice smooth water close to the sandbank, but choppy off the end of it where there seemed to be more wind.

GPS showed a top speed of 42.8mph (37.1 knots) but once I uploaded it to SportsTrack live that was downgraded to 35.79 knots for some reason. I'll stick with 37.1 as that single run did feel faster than the others and I did quite a few quite runs up around 34-35 knots!
