A good day - a bit of a lay in to get over three days at work then exercise,breakfast and out on the bikes :) We had a 12/14 mile trip around Felixstowe - the usual, Felixstowe Ferry, river path to Kings Fleet back to Trimley and to the seafront to check the conditions. Then back for lunch and have BBC sport listening the the last matches in the championship hoping Ipswich would make the playoffs!!! Even with Ipswich losing they scraped in in 6th place thinks to Derby having an off day !!! but they face local rivals Norwich who have beaten Ipswich on there last four meetings - fingers crossed for a change of luck. Then at about 2 the wind began to increase so I headed to The Dip just as Steve Carter arrived and Ian Clarke already there. With 15 mph on the gauge I rigged 8.5 and took out the big Xantos. I beat up to the River Deben in search of some flat water, it was lumpy out to sea but mega flat in the river :) You could beat slowly to near the sailing club and reach all the way to the rough water in the mouth !!! :) It was really good fun but cloudy and chilly for March :( I peaked at nearly 27 kts and got a 25 kt ave. but when I got home to upload the session there was nothing on my sd card from my GT-31 :( so looks like I have last the session as the unit wont save to card - new sd card or new gps ??? Took the shine off a fun sail !

PS - added Sunday 3rd - I had the anti delete switched off on the sd card !!! :( put have lost the session !!! Have turned it back on and will test it today - fingers crossed !
