Was looking at the forecast at lunchtime and the trees getting battered
outside my window at work and decided to take the afternoon off and get in
a cheeky session at Newburgh. Heard on the grapevine that a couple of
people were already out so dashed off to get my kit, and the wind was
around 18-22 mph, so rigged 6.3m and big board. As soon as I was on the
water, the wind started to drop, and the session turned out to be crap,
particularly as the tide was now starting to go out quickly. Was de-rigging
after about 1/2 an hour and my wife appeared with my 4 year old daughter to
see me turning the air blue with profanities as what had promised to be a
great session had turned into a shit one - hardly worth getting into my
wetsuit. As I was packing up, I got a text message from Dan telling me that
the Broch at Fraserburgh was going off and to get up there if possible. My
wife told me to go, otherwise I would only be a miserable git during the
evening, so didn't need a second invitation. My daughter still thinks I had
to get back to work and wasn't it nice of me to pop back and see her as I
would miss her bedtime! Feel a bit bad about that.
