1st October 2022 Windsurfing: Levington Wind Direction: WSW Wind Stength: 10/25 Surf / Sea State: river chop Air Temperature: 18 Sea Temperature: Weather: sunny periods Max Speed: 20.002 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 24.25 mile (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) Saturday 1st October - Windsurf *** - River Orwell at Levington – sunny periods. Foil – 20.002 knot max, 19.05 knot ave ., 10.01 knot hour, 15.99 knot mile, 39.19 km ., 16.16 knot alpha. Starboard Freeride 150 and an Evolution Freeride foil with a Tushingham Storm 5.2. I had a double jab this morning, covid in one arm, flu in the other, my appointment was 11.33 which gave me time to do my exercises. I then had to que with a load of old people at the Doctors surgery but it was nice and sunny, mild too so not a problem and we soon got seen, what a top service it was:) Mag was again working in the back garden but decided to come to Levington Marina so she could make the most of the lovely weather and bike home. We arrived at 12.15 and there was loads of water, probably too much as it had lumped up a bit and conditions would have been better earlier, still never mind as the jabs were important and I was suffering no side effects yet! Mag was soon on her way home so I quickly set up foil board and for the second day running rigged my 5.2! The wind direction was wsw not the best here as it gets bumpy, west or sw is better still the sun was out and I was soon flying, the first pat of the session was best with the wind more constant, it was really gusty later when Robert and Michael arrived! Again, I had some fun gybing, getting a slightly better alpha than yesterday as well as an improved average, my 6th best ever and I did not push it too hard either. I had a couple of nice long uns down towards Felixstowe dock but the wind was very on/off:( but still great to be out on the water with loads of yachts, the lunch boat and a couple of old barges. I had well over two hours but was getting feed up of waiting fo a gust with a small sail so decided to call it a day, the wind did pick up while we wee all packing up and there was even a kite surfer out having launched from somewhere near Levington Creek! No windsurfing for a couple of days but then there is a run of windy days, the only problem being the tides for the rivers ae not good, so its back on the sea I suppose? Photo Album here |
