Windsurfing: The Dip-Felixstowe Wind Direction: NE Wind Stength: 14/18 Surf / Sea State: lumpy Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: cloudy Max Speed: 25.87 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 11.88 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
For the second day in a row the NE winds blows with hopefully the same again tomorrow but with some sun. Checked Landguard weather
station and the wind was only showing 15 kts and not in a great hurry to get down as not low until 3, so arrived at The Dip at midday.
Roger V had rigged 7.5 and Micheal G had rigged as yesterday 6.2 but the wind was definitely lighter than yesterday so not sure what to
do? In the end the breeze filled in a bit so went with the smaller 115 lt. board and 6.5. It felt cooler on the beach today but toasty
in the Gull winter suit plus hat and it was OK. Again, the sea was lumpy and because the tide didn't drop very low we didn't get the
smooth water usually associated with this direction:( I beat up to kite beach and went for a mile run and actually went faster than
yesterday which surprised me as was under most of the session. I called it a day as the tide turned when Swainy, Mark D and Andy M
arrived but the sea had really picked up and was rolling in so was glad to save myself for tomorrow. Mark Smalling and Strawberry came
but didn’t sail, shame really as windy enough and despite chilly it was OK in the winter suit – fingers crossed for some sunshine
tomorrow!
