6th January 2005 Windsurfing: Golf Course Car park, Ynyslas Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: 25 knots Surf / Sea State: 3-4 foot surf Air Temperature: 10ºC Sea Temperature: 9ºC Weather: Drizzly Max Speed: 24.1 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 8.2 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) Got home from work and my GPS had arrived, so quickly read how to switch it on and reset the Max Speed and then headed off to the beach. I checked the current speed reading on the GPS against my vans speedometer and it seemed spot on. I was pretty amazed at how little movement you need to make before it picks up on it. The wind was around 25 knots and the sea pretty rough so I rigged my 5m sail and big board, reset the max speed on the GPS and got out there. The conditions were just perfect, I was well powered up and flying off the waves, with some massive jumps at times. The sea was pretty lumpy even right out the back where there were some monster waves. Just perfect.... Not great for full-on speed with my GPS, but still an amazing session. Got back to the beach to check my Max speed and realised I didn't actually know how to do that, so after derigging had to drive all the way home at less than 15mph to make sure I didn't exceed the speed I had done on the water. I've since read the instructions and found out that my max speed was 28.8mph... Not great, but in 4 foot lumpy seas not too bad either I don't think. |
