10th July 2004 Windsurfing: Bigbury Wind Direction: W Wind Stength: F2-4 Surf / Sea State: Choppy Air Temperature: 13-15C Sea Temperature: cool Weather: showers Max Speed: Distance Covered: Another Nomads weekend with little prospect of wind. Still, we were there, there was a light W breeze, so I decided to haul out the big kit & go for a sail on the Challaborough side of the beach - where there's more chop in this wind direction. Nothing special. After about 1/2 hour of pootling about, the wind started to pick up enough to get me planing with the 9.4m, and 1/2 hr after that, I was stretching the downhaul & outhaul with gusts up to ~ F4. Had a great blast back & forth - challenging swells/chop over the Challaborough side. Enough to make it real problem if you dropped the rig. Managed about 3 hours of slightly overpowered sailing in the end. Even managed to jump the beast a few times. Scary! |
