Finished work now for the year and with the mild weather and wind forecast for another week it was too good an opportunity to miss today. With low water at 8:30 and the wsw wind dropping by lunch time I was at The Manor rigged and ready to go by 10.30, the wind looked light so I rigged big and made the most of the sunshine:) the wind threatened to pick up overpowering the 9.4 but every time the really good gusts came along I seemed to be beating back so a bit disappointed with the speeds but never the less I was out on the water over two hours with no hat and gloves and had some mega runs out to the Wadgate Post and down to the Fludgers:) I did the Fludgers run a couple of times before the wind swung more off shore and dropped, so a good sail with just me and Al Wiz on the water - a good time was had by all and more of the same tomorrow:)

PS - the highlight of the session was a low flying Hercules circling all morning dropping parachuters into the sea!!!
