3rd February 2022 Windsurfing: Levington Wind Direction: WSW Wind Stength: 5/10 Surf / Sea State: lumpy Air Temperature: 9 Sea Temperature: Weather: cloudy Max Speed: 9.00 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 4.50 miles (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) Thursday 3rd February - Windsurf * River Orwell at Levington – cloudy. Foil – 9.00 knot max, 7.37 knot ave., 0.774 knot hour, 0.00 knot mile, 7.04 km., 5.18 knot alpha. Exocet RF AST 91 with Slingshot Hover Glide 76 with Tushingham Lightning 8.5m. Checked Landguard weather station first thing and it looked marginal at best so I was going to give today a miss but then super keen Robert said he was heading over to Levington at 11.15 so I decided to join him with Mag assaying she would bike over for lunch:) On arriving at the marina it was very light but then there were a few gusts to tempt us to rig big and head out. Lightweight Robert had a few flying runs but I did not get close to getting out of the water, certainly not helped by my heavy old sail! So, we floundered back and forth for an hour hoping for a gust just getting cold so decided to call it a day. I got back to the beach just as Mag arrived on her bike. I then headed to the shower which was the best part of the session and quickly warmed up my feet before returning to the van for lunch. For a gloomy grey light wind day there was a variety of boats out including Swainy in a rib, he looked as cold as me! Still several windy days to come but tomorrow looking cold so perhaps will get out again on Saturday? Photo album here |
