Windsurfing: Alton Reservoir Wind Direction: WSW Wind Stength: F1 - F5 Surf / Sea State: flat Air Temperature: 13C Sea Temperature: cold Weather: cold Max Speed: guess mid Distance Covered: 1hr (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
check Felixstowe, meet up with Paul S ripping on 5.0M
Sea still look OK @ high tide, but didn’t finish work till 5.15 so
didn’t think anyone would be there and wont sail on my own, so stopped at
Alton Res.
Of course the few said I “missed it”. It was F1 to F6 (gusty and *rap)
really. Unbelievably the few were on 6.0M, rigged 7.7M / 135L and had a
reasonable 20 mins blasting and 40 mins wallowing.
Forgot GPS, but might have recorded some decent times.
The ressy has 2 things going for it, rescue and I can gybe easy on the flat
water , but I still wouldn’t recommend it in a west or Sw coming off the
land really, might as well watch TV as its too gusty.
Still 2nd sail of the year, so have kick started the sailing fitness.
