A bit of a bonus session today as I wasn’t expecting it to be windy
enough but where as yesterday on the River Stour I was planing 95% of the
time, today it was closer to 5% on the River Orwell! Well maybe a little
more than that but it was pretty gusty here at Levington. Still the sun was
out and it was warm for a flounder with loads of yachts and I did manage to
get a few nice gusts and in the end was pleasantly surprised with my top
speed and average:) I arrived just after low and it looked plenty breezy
enough so rigged as yesterday and sailed out of the marina entrance and you
have loads of water especially down towards Felixstowe dock, you could even
foil from low water with the wind in this direction! I had a two-mile run
down to the docks struggling to get going but things improved in patches. I
saw some friends heading out on a yacht when I arrived and saw them again
as I was finishing, they shot a short video of me! Might even be some more
wind Wed/Thurs so fingers crossed.
