Windsurfing: Manor End Felixstowe Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: F3-5 Surf / Sea State: big Air Temperature: 18 Sea Temperature: ok Weather: cloudy drizzle Max Speed: 25.5 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 12 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
There was split in desired locations, Dip, Fludge and Manor where I
launched. Great beach launch site Nxt to Manor caravans, free cark and
beach 20 meters away. 5 ***** site.
It was my first sail since June, after a poxy elbow bursa; wind was OK -
up/down rigged 6.2 / 120L, 7.2/155L and enjoyed the F4 part of the day. The
wind increased dramatically to F5/6 causing a big sea, and I just couldn't
cope. The usual crew Neil, Squiz Lord Swain Ian Mark and Alistair -were out
and seem to have a great time.
Happy to get my first sail out for awhile and my elbow was only sore later.
Snapped a harness bar when travelling at cosmic speed over the top, landing
head first. As always, ensured I clear the board and sail, with my bulk, so
no further damage.
Maker /Roger sailed at the Dip, but I think Manor was the lesser of 2
evils. Not brave enough to chase Squiz to Wadgate lodge, which is the 1
mile shipping lane marker!
