I managed to get in for a sail after driving back from Portsmouth. Good 3 hours at Eastney in the morning, but all along I knew that Sussex would have been cranking. In the car I said "I would really like to get a local sail in today". "no chance" was the reply. Luckily the missus dozed off in the front and failed to detect the right turn through Shoreham Airport until it was too late!. I was only checking the conditions to confirm my fears, but once I saw those waves, I literally had to beg with tears in my eyes. So got out on 4.5m and had my fill while the kids had a cracking time on the beach. Should have rigged bigger in hindsight, possibly as wind was shifting towards offshore, but no time so just pumped like mad to get out of trouble. Waves were clean and chest to head high, not a lot of power but setting up for easy turns down the line.
