Mood: waiting for wind
|
15th July 2007
Windsurfing: Eastbourne Wind Direction: ENE Wind Stength: F5 dropping .... Surf / Sea State: whitecaps everywhere .... some Air Temperature: warm Sea Temperature: fine Weather: back end of big thunder storm with lots of wind and some drizzle, brightening up Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Proper VFW hangover ... missed the holeshot, though didn't know it at the
time.
Awoke to see wind, drizzle and people on the water on 5.5's and 95lts
boards .... staggered about still half cut, rigged my 3S97 with 5.6m Remedy
and got collared to organise the details regarding the Acutel Challenge
race.
Rigged Rocket 125 and Remedy 6.4m to use in the challenge race, as wanted
to be well powered up, but also felt that the wind was dropping.
Race started and wind died simultaneously .... so I floated approx 2 miles
out and then back again, with young Dibley cooling me with refreshing
shower as he did a drive by in the RIB. Then as I'm eventually within
spitting distance of terra firma with some swell to use for forward motion,
some great boat reverses towards me giving me nowhere to go ... they had
seen me and we didn't interact.
Typical, all the mucking about and I'd missed a decent early port tack
session on my favourite kit. Worse still, my hangover was really starting
to take effect.
