Windsurfing: The Dip-Felixstowe Wind Direction: ne Wind Stength: 13/18 Surf / Sea State: smooth in lumpy out Air Temperature: 24 Sea Temperature: 17 Weather: sunny Max Speed: 23.65 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 32 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
a 5 ***** session two days running :) After a long 12 hour night shift last
night I managed to sleep to 11 !!! and at midday I decided to take my gear
to The Dip and see if I could get out on a shortboard before I was off to
work again at 4:43 !!! There was about 13 mph ne on the beach, lighter than
yesterday so rigged 8.5 and took out the big xantos, it didn't seem windy
enough to start but got going farther out and had 2hrs 20 mins non-stop on
the water :) There were 20 or so 505's racing just offshore so I had some
fun playing with them and there was a big Cutty Sark style two mast sailing
ship moored 2/3 miles out so I sailed out to check that out :) Only one
other sailor was out with me, Andy Mexome on his 130 and for the second day
no kiters !!! The beach was crowded with people enjoying the fantastic
weather and after sailing through the bumpy water out to sea you could once
again gybe in flatish water close to the beach although I am having real
trouble turning this larger board as is Swainy ??? I don't know why as the
133 goes around lovely !!! Got in at 3:15 packed up in readyness for
tonights shift only to discover that I had been swopped to Friday day shift
and that job may continue for two more weeks and I thought I had retired
!!!
