25th November 2019 Windsurfing: Levington Wind Direction: S Wind Stength: 5/10 Surf / Sea State: flatish Air Temperature: 10 Sea Temperature: Weather: cloudy Max Speed: 8.37 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 5.34 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) Monday 25th November – Windsurf * - River Orwell - Levington – sunny. Starboard Formula and Slingshot Hover Glide F/Wind with Tushingham Lightning 6.5 Foil – 8.37 knot max., 5.95 knot ave., 6.30 knot hour, 0.00 knot mile, 10.00 km., 3.90 knot Alpha. It’s been a very poor month for windsurfing as the temperatures have dropped making any wind unappealing! But Mag and I have been very busy decorating the whole of the inside of our house and we are nearing completion now! Being slightly milder I was keen to get out but the forecast wind had not arrived and I needed to be at Levington early to catch the 10-o clock high. We were up early giving the kitchen a quick coat of paint and with the wind picking up slightly I decided to take a chance and headed over to the marina arriving at 9.30. With the wind cross on from the left gusting to 20 mph I quickly set up the foil with my 6.5 but by the time I sailed away with loads of water in the Orwell it was pretty light and only managed to get airborne for a couple of seconds:( I should have been brave enough to rig my 8.5 but the cold put me off and if I learned anything from this slogging session it is there is no way I can foil in light winds with a small sail! So, with my feet now getting cold and with no sign of the wind improving I decided to call it a day, can’t win them all!!! Might get some wind tomorrow, will have to wait and see before it turns cold again:( Photo Gallery Here |
