Monday 31st July – windsurf ***** The Manor ( Landguard carpark) sunny periods

Not as windy as yesterday but nice and sunny, with the wind WSW I headed down to the free carpark at Landguard which was fairly busy
with the Suffolk wildlife trust running something for kids on the beach:) Rigged big as yesterday and it was a little patchy to start
it filled in and I had great fun blasting out to the Wadgate Post. The wind then turned SW and I went for a full – on broad reach for
three and a half miles to the moored coaster, the ‘ wijnne barend ‘ I was even gybing the big board which makes a change as it’s not
the easiest board to turn! I then beat back turning really close to the new and very smart pier:) I went for another mile run reaching
24.66 kts before heading back to Landguard for a sandwich after being out over two hours:) Just love this big combination, the 8.5 not
once overpowered!
The wind seemed to have dropped so I packed up and headed home to see how Mag had got on having a tooth out!
BBQ at the Hurrells tomorrow, Linda’s 65th birthday celebration – just can’t believe it, where did those years go??? Then loads of wind
coming later in the week, might even make it to Southend!
Had a look along the coast after packing up and there was a lone windsurfer out at both The Fludgers and The Dip!
PS – it’s been a good month with 9 sessions covering 413.4 km best month of the year:)
