Distance Covered:

managed an hour between two big squalls. It died when i arrived at shoreham, 10 windsurfers were loitering on the beach with one guy out wallowing. Lots of others were trudging back from way down the beach. I waited. then it filled in slowly with the clear skies. Stuck on the 5.3m and was well overpowered, but at least I was moving and had plenty of oomph on the inside for down the line turns. Then at 3:45pm it just dropped to nil in front of the next big grey cloud. Suddenly my big 5.3m was the sail of choice, although there was so little wind that I could just sink and wobble slowly towards the beach, while others were left swimming. with 20m to go it was down and out for me and finally swept up the beach with the shorebreak. An undignified end to a cracking little session.
