Windsurfing: Tarifa Wind Direction: E Wind Stength: 40+ kts Surf / Sea State: Flat (well, sort of...) Air Temperature: 25ºC Sea Temperature: 19ºC Weather: Scorchio!!! Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Cor blimey. Guess that's a "strong levante" then...
3.3, overpowered, nuff said. Tried this strange custom board, heavy with no
high nose rocker to get blown around. Any normal board and I would have
been literally flying. Only did a few runs and it wasn't much fun. Only one
or two other people were as brave/stupid as me, compared with 30-40 on the
water on Sunday. Was hoping to sail today for 3-4 hours right up until my
bus left, but only managed 30 mins before I whimped out.
Disappointing lack of TOW on Monday and Tuesday, but I've achieved what I
wanted - to see what Tarifa is like, and to sail both the Poniente and
Levante. From that point of view, a very successful 3 days.
However, what is not very successful is that in the 6 days I've been away
the south coast has had 6, yep 6 successive days of wind. ARSE. I'm really
starting to think 2005 is not going to be my year. Payback for a stonking
2004. :-<
