A slightly disappointing morning session that was just a tad too far on the wrong side of the 8.45am low tide. I arrived 9.30am and conditions were looking good, albeit lighter than expected. So rigged the 5.2 and surprise surprise straight away the wind came back up so that after only one run I had to change down GRRR. Whilst I was faffing around rigging up of course the tide kept on creeping up, so that by the time I re-launched conditions had started to deteriorate to mid-tide choplumphell. Was still ok at first and ramps were good for some decent jumping, but very soon with the increasing wind and rising-tide mega-choppy water state it just wasn't any fun trying to keep the board on the water. So I called it quits earlier than hoped at 11am.

The tide times were annoyingly inconvienient for morning sailing today. Too early for Shoreham, too late for Worthing, although with hindsight a lie-in and a quick hour 11.30-12.30 at the cafe would have been the best plan of action.
