Windsurfing: Felixstowe-Dip Wind Direction: NE Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: horrible chop then smooth Air Temperature: 14 Sea Temperature: 13 Weather: hazy sun Max Speed: 24.7 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 46.8+ (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
Around mid-day Chris was out on 5.7m so rigged 6m whilst others went for
6.5mish which would have been better if I had one. Sea was a horrible mess
for first 2 hours and I fell in a lot. Better over at the Golf for smoother
swells but a bit of a wind shadow. Sea gradually smoothed and became better
with wind filling in at Golf to make riding swells nice for another couple
of hours. About 10 out having fun. Planed most of the time but a bit
underpowered to make it more than 3*, with a 6.5m or a bit more wind would
have been at least 4*. Tried a bigger fin for mote bite but not much
difference, which was interesting as it helps wind with tide but apparently
not when it's simply not enough wind against tide. GPS packed up for a
while so sailed further than measured. Board getting spongy and repair
starting to carck up so eBAY here I come.
