Friday 8th September – windsurfing ** Levington – cloudy with
showers:(
23.22kt. max, 20.34kt. ave., 6.01kt. hr., 11.71kt. mile, 20.80 km.,
12.59kt. alpha.
I wasn’t keen on going today as rain was forecast but it was only light
showers so decided to give it a try. I checked out The Fludgers but the
wind was slightly off and I didn’t fancy going out on the bumpy sea all
by myself so I headed to Levington again. It was a good tide coming in the
whole session and with onshore winds gusting to 20knots so took a chance
with 8.5 on the 310. I thought I was going to be well over but soon
realised once on the water that it was not windy at all with only the odd
gust, perhaps only planning 25% of the time:( The wind was changing
direction too, sometimes you could head towards the docks then it was
reaching up river towards Ipswich! Despite the cloud I only had a couple of
light showers. I still stuck it out for over two hours but gave up at high
water when it dropped off even further! Wind all of the place for the next
week with some really strong winds forecast but I am not holding my breath
that I will get a good sail????
PS - might be the last outing for the shortie!
