Woohooo, as good as it gets. I went to work in the morning and waited for
the sun to come out around midday and got on the water at about 2pm. Glad I
waited as the wind picked up around now too.
The wind was a solid 30 knots with a few bigger gusts and looking at the
trace from the weather station it was at its strongest from around 2pm
until 5pm when it dropped off quite a bit. Perfect as that was the exact
time I was on the water which makes a change!
Gorgeous sunshine too and some big waves, especially out the back. I was
well powered with my little wave board and 4.5m sail and able to sail right
out through the waves jumping like mad on the way out. I sailed across to
the buoy a few times and then tried to make it across to Graveyards, but on
all three attempts each time I got past the buoy the wind dropped off and I
struggled to keep going. On the third attempt I got hit by a big set whilst
wallowing and had a bit of a swim so that was my final attempt too! I don't
understan how there can be such a difference in windspeed so it must have
been something to do with the currents.
Simon was out too and although struggling to start with one the wind filled
in a little more he was having a good time too. Dunk joined us with his 6m
kite towards the end too.
I did try one forward loop but the rest of the time was spent simply
sailing in amongst the wave with some nice big jumps for good measure.
Perfect.
