Distance Covered:

After a morning on the water I had some food and coffee and then the wind seemed to fill in a bit more so off I went windsurfing again. After blasting about Lingeigh Bay nicely powered up for a while I sailed upwind to Traigh Hornais; another long sweeping beach of pire white sands, blue water and sand-dunes in the background. I was going to sail around the other side of Lingeigh Island and then back to Lingeigh via yet another beach, but my board was feeling a little worse for wear so i decided against it. I could feel and hear the underside of the board flexing and warping, and once back to Lingeigh, on inspection the whole nderside was completed delaminated with a good 2 inches of play betweent he skin and the foam. Several cracks had also developed in the skin that stretched across the width of the board. Oh well, another board to sacrifice to the wind gods.

All in all a lovely session well powered up in a cool setting.
