7th January 2005
Windsurfing: WSM Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: F4-7 Surf / Sea State: surprisingly flat for WSM, wit Air Temperature: 14°C Sea Temperature: chilly Weather: cloudy, occ. sun Max Speed: Distance Covered:
14°C in Jan Question . What on earth's going on & who's complaining?
2005 is shaping up pretty well so far - 2 outings in 7 days, & never used
anything larger than 4.7m.
Today was F4-F7 - incredibly gusty SW. There was a zero wind band from the
shore to about 100m out, after that, it just got increasingly stupid.
Some interesting jumps shocked going out, & some nicely shaped waves coming
in - with just enough S in the wind to go frontside.
It was hard work, but someone had to do it :-))
Brian Derrick was there as were about 7 or 8 other sailors - including
Nigel Walker.
Only casualty of the day was my downhaul - broke whilst rigging up. Even my
stupidly sore tennis elbow actually feels easier after today's session. :-0
