The estuary certainly lived up to expectations today... had a nice blast in 30-40 knot winds and sunshine. It is still blowing a hoolie
out there now as well. mark came out for a windsurf too and now he and Daz have headed over to the seafront for a speed session in the
silky smooth waters there.
Shem was the only kiter to give it a go. He launched his kite for a few seconds, but soon decided it was ll too much.
I was out with my 4.5m sail which was OK, but a 4m would have been a little more comfortable.. There wasn't enough wind for my 3.4m.
Don't you just love this place!!

Al, will the tide be any good in the estuary tomorow ?
I was going to go to N.Wales but if it is NE then the estuary might be a better bet if the tide is right.
It looks like the wind should back off a bit for tomorow. so hopefully ok for kite surfing

Yep, should be fine in there tomorrow... High tide is around 10.20am, so it will be sailable between 7am and 1.30pm at least.
I'm hoping it will be just as windy as today but that doesn't look quite so likely.. Mind you a nice 25 knots will be enough.

I've just been down to the estuary again today (Monday) and once again it was nice and sunny with a decent 20-25 knot wind.
Still too ill to lay though

Where were you all then? You all scared of a bit of wind.....?
I was actually joking about the 5m, but it works very nicely!! Tim & I had the estuary to ourselves yesterday. Quite well powered
on the 5. Enough to not bother with the 7 anyway. Isn't this place great???
