Windsurfing: Ythan Estuary, Aberdeen Wind Direction: S Wind Stength: 35-40 mph Surf / Sea State: Choppy Air Temperature: Baltic Sea Temperature: Baltic Weather: Stinging snow / sleet Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Forecast was good for wind, and it delivered. Unfortunately, so did the
cold snap. Jim and I had decided not to go out as the snow was blizzarding
horizontally, but looking out the window, I could see somebody out blasting
back and forth on the estuary. We decided to have a closer inspection and
realised it was Rob who had not got our text messages saying we weren't
venturing out. He was massively overpowered on his 4.2 and JP Freestyle
Wave 84, and was getting blown all over the place. Put my head out of Jim's
van to get a wind reading (40 mph gusts) and nearly had my face
cryogenically preserved - based on this I think our decision not to go out
was justified, although only just. Fun watching Rob for half an hour, but
by then even he decided it was a bit too extreme, so we helped him rig down
and get his stuff loaded back into his car. Although didn't go out myself,
the session gets a 2* for entertainment value.
