Mood: Wanting SW winds!

11th September 2004
Windsurfing: Portland Wind Direction: West Wind Stength: 15knts, increasing to 30knts Surf / Sea State: Small chop Air Temperature: 20C Sea Temperature: Weather: Mostly Sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Started off at about 8:30 on the water, the wind was still there from the
night before (it filled in at sunset - how upsetting?!) so i rigged the 6.5
and went blastingafter a bit came in to get the Max 2 Air. Shockingly made
the first 3 gybes dry, then stated to get a little cocky, and dropped
almost everything else. Never mind! Really enjoyable few hours before I
tried to drive my shin through the mast whilst doing a fast dismount (OK, I
fell off!) Barely able to sail I thought I had better come in.
Looking at everyone on the water made me OD on the pain killers to get back
out there. Suitable numb, I stumbled on! Realised that the wind had picked
up more so rigged the 5.75. Sailed until the hands could not take anymore,
and almst crawled back to the van to de-rig
Wind continued to pick up for the evening. 4.0 were on the water at the end
of the day. Shame I was too tired to join them, 7hrs on the water was
enough though!
