Windsurfing: Levington Wind Direction: s Wind Stength: 5/10 Surf / Sea State: flat Air Temperature: 12 Sea Temperature: Weather: cloudy Max Speed: 11.29 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 4.31 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
Only had to work two days this week :) so was free to go windsurfing today
as we are out to lunch tomorrow ! The wind looked fairly light and from the
south I decided to give Levington ago even though it's not the best
direction but it was the safest bet this time of year. I didn't even know
what the tide was doing but when I arrived there was loads of water and the
tide was still coming in, I had to wait ten minutes as the marina men were
putting a yacht on it's stand for the winter. I parked by the marina
entrance and the gauge was reading gusts over 20 mph ! I thought it might
be too much for my 9.4 and I haven't got my 8.5 here yet ! Sadly by the
time I had rigged up the sun had gone as had the wind !!! I set off hoping
the wind would come back but it got even lighter :( the highlight of the
day was a navy boat heading to Ipswich and loads of birds including
squadrons of geese :) Windsurfing is such a frustrating sport enough to try
the patience of a saint !!!!
PS. the ship that sailed past was HMS Quorn
