Windsurfing: Cooden Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: 4-5 Surf / Sea State: flattish Air Temperature: about 10 degrees Sea Temperature: warm for jan Weather: sunny and then rain Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Turned up and there was no one around so headed up to Pevensey. Passed a
van on the way, so when discovering no-one at Pevensey, I headed back to
Cooden and found about five vans, but no real wind. The forecast had some
big stuff coming, but I had to get back home at 2pm because the missus
wanted to hit the Jan sales so I was on babysitting duty. Fell asleep in
my car - New Years Eve had been a late one and the hangover was bad. Woke
up to the car rocking a little so poked my head out to find a sailable
wind, but not a very good one. The weather was obviously up to something,
so I was a bit wary of rigging my 7.8m if it was about to go ballistic as I
only had about 45 mins to sail. Rigged the 6.5m and took the big board and
that proved the right choice. Not enough wind when I first hit the water,
but it soon started to pick up. Had a good blast for 45 mins and then came
in just as the wind really picked up and the hardcore boys started to rig
up. Apart from being rained on while changing behind my car, it was a fine
sail and meant that I had got to sail the last day of 04 and the first of
05 - which is a first for me.
