26th December 2023 Windsurfing: Levington Wind Direction: W Wind Stength: 5/15 Surf / Sea State: smooth Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: 10 Weather: sunny Max Speed: 18.64 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 20.39 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) Tuesday 26th December – Windsurf ** River Orwell at Levington Marina – sunny and mild. Foil – 18.64 knot max, 17.55 knot ave, 1.67 knot hour, 16.03 knot mile, 20.39 km., 12.50 knot alpha. Starboard Freeride 150 and a Tushingham Storm 6.5. Did not expect to sail today but checked the wind around nine and it looked OK for a foil at Levington, would be nice to get out before we have two days of strong winds and rain especially as it was lovely and sunny! So a quick breakfast and arrived at the marina at 10.30 as the squibs were preparing for a Boxing Day race and got some lovely pics:) I quickly set up the foil bord and rigged my 6.5 launching with the tide very high, it was nice to be out on the Orwell with several boats today, plus several birds overhead, even a boat moored fishing by the container ships! I had a few nice flying runs but the breeze dropped steadily and when the tide turned it made it even harder to fly and in the end struggled back, I had stayed dry until I stupidly caught a mooring bouy rope but I untangled it quickly and headed in as now getting cold! Not a great session, only good in patches but still nice to be out in the sunshine! Photo Album here |
