Mood: wheres the wind?
|
22nd August 2003
Windsurfing: Brogborough Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: 4 Surf / Sea State: flat Air Temperature: 20 Sea Temperature: Weather: Max Speed: Distance Covered:
The wind was still looking the same as yesterday from the car park at work
and the car was still loaded up so braved the Friday night traffic on the
M1. Put all my local knowledge to good use and took all the back roads and
got to brog for 3pm.
Wind wasn't looking as good as thurrday so rigged 8.5 sail and large
board.
Was geting some good runs in but sail didn't feel right for some reason
just couldn't put my finger on it I realised when trying to water start
that the mast wasn't togther properly so had about 4cm xtra downhaul. Come
in and rerigged sail went back out things felt alot better.
The wind was really starting to pick up now and was getting a real handful
on 8.5 and my feet were aching like hell keeping the board from going off
on a crazy overpowered run down wind. Decided to called it a night before
my feet and ankles gave up the ghost.
