Windsurfing: Levington Wind Direction: ssw Wind Stength: 10/20 Surf / Sea State: flat Air Temperature: 12 Sea Temperature: 6 Weather: sunny Max Speed: 21.83 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 12 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
After yesterdays bad first trip out I was keen to have another go !!! so
with the sun out I took my gear to Levington Marina where Mag and I started
the day with breakfast in the van - even if I did burn the pastries :(
Having missed high water and the tide going out all day I rigged and
launched from the Marina entrance so I could sail out the channel :)
Although the wind was just as gusty as yesterday it was great to be out on
the river with more freedom than the local pond :) I had the river nearly
to myself apart from the hundreds of birds feeding in the mud :) I made it
to the Orwell bridge and returned having to stop and let a large dredger
past !!! So a great sail and speed is'nt everything in windsurfing !!!! Mag
and I then had a great walk along the muddie river and had lunch in a local
pub so a top day out :)
