Grrrr this shows how deperate I am for a sail at the moment. Exams next
week, the faintest of forecasts for a sailable sea breeze, yet still I go
down to the beach. Gave myself the excuse that I needed to pick up some
repaired stuff from Andy Biggs in Gosport (which I did), but it was all
just a ruse so I could see what it was like at Hillhead on my way back.
Pants, is the answer. Went to Salterns Park first and it was no way
sailable...kiters were out having a good time, also a few windsurfers but
none planing. Gave up and got back in the car, but decided to drive back
past Meon Shore..... Couldn't go past without stopping to have a look, and
cor blimey it was windier! Wasn't sure if this was just a brief increase in
the wind strength, or Meon Shore being windier than Salterns Park (as it
often seems to be). Was enough to tempt me into rigging up though. Of
course as soon as I hit the water the wind dropped off again GRRRR. Blobbed
around for half-an-hour then came back in.
Weather was gorgeous though, felt like being abroad, and was good to be
outside, even if the wind was crap.
