14th May 2005 Windsurfing: Oldbury On Severn Wind Direction: NE Wind Stength: F5 ish Surf / Sea State: chop Air Temperature: 14°C Sea Temperature: improving Weather: Dry & partly sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered: If Kelvin thinks WSM is muddy, he should take a look at the Severn up by Oldbury :-O. It's all Sav's fault ;-). At Thursday's social, he persuaded Tony Low & myself to give it a go. Conditions looked very favourable: Rising tide until 12:00 with opposing NE breeze. Not sailed here for very many years - probably 10 years, when they used to run Wessex Region UKBSA events there. TBH, the mud, strong currents, huge tides, sewage smell from the clubhouse (did I mention the mud?) do nothing to give the place appeal, yet the sailing *can* be excellent - as it was this morning. Pretty much bump & jump conditions, with a short, wind blown chop, and pretty gusty, too, but was out for a couple of hours on 86l Goya Wave & 5.5m, just about on the limit of being overpowered until the tide started to slacken. Game over at high tide (12:15 ish). Wind in same direction as outgoing tide? No thanks. Good to see Pete & Zara Davies again. Not seen them for several years. Sav had obviously persuaded them out to the mudfields, too. A good way to spend a Saturday morning - especially when rounded off by a couple of pints in the Anchor. |
