Windsurfing: Brogborough Lake Wind Direction: S Wind Stength: 3-5 Surf / Sea State: Small chop Air Temperature: 10C Sea Temperature: 5.2C Weather: Cloudy Max Speed: 27.7kts (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 18.2 miles (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
Quite cold but it looked like the wind would fill in. On XC I saw that the
wind on the south coast was >5 and it was spreading northwards. On the
water for 12 - I was powered up from the start on 5-6. I hadn't used my
105litre combat for some time. It felt big. I saw Ingrid struggling
overpowered and unable to water start due to the wind strength. Stopping
to address the finger hots I saw Mike G, Mike M, Dave K and John M were
soon to be on the water. Being a southerly it was quite easy to make the
islands at the far end of the lake. Soon Mike was joined by Dave Tiff and
the French guy doing long speed runs up and down. My board could hope to
match. I did a few helis and made some nice gybes - I was happy enough.
A bit tired by 2;45 I quite while I was ahead and also it looked like the
wind was falling off.
Some of our club are riding the HONC in April and there is quite a bit of
competition as regards fitness. I must ride regularly until then, so I
think I'll have to do an hour on the trainer when I get home!
