No windsurfing this week for me as I have been working for 4 days but with
Friday looking promising I was always having this day off ! Then today the
job finished early and was back in Felixstowe by 3:45 and at The Dip by 4
but when I reached there I noticed one of my trailer tyres was flat but
only at the bottom !!! I couldn't be bothered to change it first so rigged
by my big shortboard with my 8.5 and headed out, again it was horrendously
rough on the outside:( but after beating up to the Golf Club beach found
some flat water on the inside :) The only downside was the wind was
lightest where the water was flatest ! I was a bit under powdered the whole
session but it was nice to be out in the sunshine and all by myself !!!
Then late in the session the sun disappeared and 6 kiters turned up to play
:) After playing in the flat water for ages I beat into the River Deben
where the water was very smooth with a strong current, sadly the the wind
didn't play ball but did manage a 25 kt run in light wind. I then exited
the wild River mouth just missing a couple of canoes before heading out to
sea to do a mile run which was cool in the bumpy sea - not a bad session
and fingers crossed for more wind tomorrow!
