3rd May 2015
Windsurfing: The Manor-Felixstowe
Wind Direction: sw
Wind Stength: 18/26
Surf / Sea State: lumpy
Air Temperature: 17
Sea Temperature: 10
Weather: sunny
Max Speed: 24.55 (knots - unless stated otherwise)
Distance Covered: 22.67 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)

Waited until the rain had stopped, while the wind switched from se to sw - I checked The Dip first but sw is not the best direction so I gave the Manor a try. Al had rigged 6.4 but with the wind very slightly off it was difficult to chose the right sail ??? I went with 7.8 which was ok as I spent the session beating and broad reaching but found it difficult to go fast in the choppy sea and I think I would have been faster with a 6.5 but couldn't be bothered to change! I spent the first hour sailing out to Wadgate post but it was slow as I was beating most of the time into a lumpy sea but sailing broad ironed out the sea little but it wasn't fast :( Still a nice session out in the sunshine - warmest session of the year :)
