sunny periods.

12.06 km., 7.43 knot alpha.
Starboard Freeride 150 and a Evolution Freeride foil with a Tushingham
Storm 6.5.
I only had a smll window to sail today as we had things arranged in the
afternoon and with the wind offshore at Felixstowe I decided to mhead over
to Levington to check it out despite it being low water. I arrived at the
marina at 9.40 and things did not look very promising so I had a walk
around the boats taking a few pics, I nearly went homethen but the
breezedid pick up with gusts to 20 knots so I set up the foil and rigged
6.5 again. I launched by the marina entrance and sailed straight out of the
channel in super flat water and saileddown to Felixstowe docks, flyingin
patches but that was about it, I slowly sailed back and had some fun gybing
around a couple of bouys in front of the marina waiting for a gust,I only
got in the air briefly a couple of times so called it a day and headed for
home to take an old friend to town in her wheelchair:) Could be having the
Granddaughter tomorrow but then might get a sail on my 70th Birthday on
Friday:)
