4th June 2011
Windsurfing: Bawdsey Quay Wind Direction: ne Wind Stength: 15/25 Surf / Sea State: flatish Air Temperature: 22 Sea Temperature: 12 Weather: sunny Max Speed: 26.33 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 23.22 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
Got up early to check conditions and as the forecast was nne slightly off
at The Dip which was correct in the morning,Mag and I quickly loaded our
campervan up and went to Bawdsey Quay for the weekend :) We parked at the
end lay by with stunning veiws of Felixstowe Ferry across the River Deben
and after a late breakfsat and with the tide well up rigged the same as
yesterday,the longboard and 8.5 to check again the shortboard potential ???
I had well over a mile of perfect flat water down to Ramsholt bend the only
trouble was the wind :( too holey and the wrong direction to stay in the
flat water !!! I think it needs to be abit more north to work,but I had
great fun reaching full tilt through the moored boats even if I was way
over powered with 8.5 and wind gusting to over 25 mph !!! I was joined by
three shortboard sailors who sailed up from the Ferry boat yard,still I
improved yesterdays times a little and got my best n/mile of the year so
not all bad.Sadly I pulled my back,which was not helped by a 5 mile walk to
Bawdset Martello tower along the beach,but we had a lovelly free overnight
camp for free and look forward to a couple of weeks away in the van at the
end of June :)
