3rd July 2005 Windsurfing: Croft Farm Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: F1-3 Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: 24C Sea Temperature: Weather: bright & sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered: Nomads running a training day up at Croft Farm pond, nr Tewkesbury. Not having attended a BNWC event for several months, & with the thought of dozens of novices needed advice I headed North, despite the practically non-existant wind forecast. Well, there were no novices turned-up (actually, there were 2: one didn't sail, the other was being attended to by another Nomad), so it was out with the fat-arsed AHD77 + 9.4m sail for a bit of a pumpathon. As I was rigging, I discovered my carbon boom has a broken front end. Poo! Expensive poo. Derek kindly lent me a suitable one. Pretty much a waste of time, Got planing a couple of times as the odd gust came trhough but not v exciting. At one point, Ian suggested we all sails without fins - just for the experience. So I switched to my 100l with a 6.2m sail & spent the next 30 mins or so trying not to go sideways. An interesting experience that everyone should try for themselves. Ho Hum. |
