Well as promised, I was up at 5.0am on Saturday, and rigging up at Minster
at 5.45am! Sailed from 6-10ish in marginal winds - top end of a force three
I reckon, but still managed to get planing from time to time. I am getting
my light wind waterstarts nailed too and really enjoyed myself out there.
At low tide the water was stupidly low as it was a spring - cut my feet to
ribbons on the mussel beds and other crap that was under the water. Still,
well worth the trip - I'd have been gutted if another weekend had passed by
without a sail. By the time I was leaving, the UKWA guys were swinging in
to action - they were going to be on very big kit I reckon by the time they
came to race... wish I could have hung around a little longer to watch. It
was cool seeing so many windsurfers rigging up and with all the flags out
and music pumping out of vans there was a real buzz...
