30th December 2005
Windsurfing: Ythan Estuary, Aberdeen Wind Direction: SSE Wind Stength: 30 - 35mph Surf / Sea State: Choppy Air Temperature: Extremely Cold Sea Temperature: Cold Weather: Dull / sleet Max Speed: 25 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 6 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
Freezing cold, but thought I'd chance it as the forecast was not looking
good for the next week or so. Wind was pretty much constant 30mph, with the
odd small lull and gusts. Water was quite choppy, and the tide was really
ripping in which made life very tricky. Would have gone later in the day,
but it gets dark early up here this time of year! Anyway, managed a few
speedy runs bordering on the out of control - should have really put up the
4.2m, but couldn't be bothered as hands were too cold. Was pleased to get
27mph top speed on the GPS, but know I could have done oh so much better.
Decided it was time to pack up when my wife popped down to see me sailing
and she heard my teeth chattering.
