The Estuary was just perfect

/url] with a nice steady wind at about 15 knots. Most people were nicely powered up on 4m sails (Even Radical Rob was overpowered with
his 4.7m). OK, it was essentially flat-water sailing so it could have been better, but there were some head -high swells in the
channel.
Friday and Saturday were pretty good as well, but I think they were good everywhere else as well, and for some reason despite the
forecast of Force 2-3 SE for today, its still blowing at 20-25 knots NE here.... Lets hope it lasts a few more hours so we can get out
again.

I don't want to know that it was still blowing today thankyou Al 
It was very tempting to stay for another sail today but the thought of the traffic getting out of Wales and then on the M6 and M1
Least the weather was looking a bit damp when I left not quite rain but nearly there
Was lucky didn't get any traffic on way home only time I stopped was to get petrol borth to hertfordshire in 3hrs 15 mins
Anyone thinking of going to Borth its all Al makes it to be the estuary is anyway got blown off the water 2 days running didn't get
to sail on the sea front but I don't do waves

OK BEFS... I won't tell you that I had a few hours sailing on the estuary with a 5.7m sail today then!! 
Its a shame you didn't get to sail on the seafront really...or at least see Borth with a bit of a westerly wind. I can assure you it
won't be long until you'll be wanting to get out on the waves...

P.S. Let us know if you got any decent photos from this weekend once you get your film developed.
