After a crap morning session at Felixstowe and as I have been making good
progress foiling, I was keen to give it another go especially as several
were planing to go to Bradfield. So, I put my wetsuit out to dry in the
warm sunshine and did my exercises in the garden while Mag was doing her
lovely garden. After lunch I checked Landguard and there was wind gusting
to 16 knots at Shotley I decided to have a ride over to Levington as I had
left it too late to go to the Stour. There was a nice breeze at the Marina
when I arrived so rigged as yesterday and was soon out on the water, pretty
much carrying on where I left off yesterday with some nice runs across the
river trying to avoid the many yachts! After several shorter runs foiling
right across the river, I tried for Felixstowe docks but sadly the wind
dropped and I had to flounder back and call it a day. Next week is looking
promising for wind but tides not great for several local venues so will
have to wait and see? So in the end I had a 5 star day but it took two
sessions to get it :)
