23rd July 2014 Windsurfing: Felixstowe Dip Wind Direction: ENE Wind Stength: F4/5 Surf / Sea State: Chop / Flat Air Temperature: 20C Sea Temperature: warm Weather: Sunny Max Speed: 25.19 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 28.5 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) This ranks as one of my best sails ever (10 stars), sunny, warm, flat chop some waves, loads out ENE wind protected by the sand bar, just a brilliant days sailing. Arrived midday, and the early sailors said they had a good time but the wind was dropping from 6M weather. Rigged 7.7 Hellcat / 146L Excite ride pro and was planning great going out - but a little under coming. Tried the river but wasn't much different then the wind freshened, swopped to 120L Ex ride pro and had a great session burning all over. GPS settled at 23kts till met Colsey on the same leg, with the inevitable drag race heading to France as I wasn't backing off. Dave went way down wind to defend his lead turning miles out. That was a 25kt drag race absolutely brilliant in roughish sea further out. Very tired by 7.00pm and couldn't get back up wind, so did the walk of shame 6 groins down. Lucky I had boots on! Loads out sailing as tide was still mid tide coming in loads of kites. Shame not much rolling NE waves, just flat water near kite zone then chop, with some swell coming. Formula heads Dave and Nick went out with 11M burning down to Languard and back, nutters! Swopped to waist harness all day - which I have to say was comparable to using my seat harness to generate speed. Should have swopped back to seat to prove either way on the GPS |
