Sunshine and Wind

It's not that often that we get sunshine and a decent wind but this afternoon was lovely.

Nicely powered with my 5.6m and gorgeous blue seas.

There are time when you can't beat Wales.

Yeah - It was good between 12pm and 3pm There were 3 windsurfers out - guess one was you...
btw. Is there are limit on the length of diary entries? I don't seem to be able to type as much into the box as I have before - which is probably a good thing but I'm just curious as to why it seems to have changed.
Cheers,
Neal.

Nope, there shouldn't be a limit (within reason), you should just be able to keep typing away. I've just given it a go and can add shed-loads of text. Does it strip it when you submit the entry, or actually prevent you from typing? Have you tried it in a different browser?

It should work OK, but that said I do need to find some time to update various aspects of the session diaries section, It will have to wait until it isn't windy though. First things first!

It actually stops me from typing... If I go back and delete some words then I can add more at the end. It is like a character count limit. The odd thing is that it seems to vary, and the last diary entry I made it seemed to be rather less than usual - I used every character it would let me type and that was only half dozen lines.
I am using a Mac and Safari though so perhaps that is the reason...
Cheers, Neal

Looks like we might get some afternoon sunshine and wind this week now as well. Fingers crossed.

Turned out good here. 25 knots NW and the sun did make an appearance now and then.

Well powered on my big wave board with a 5m sail. Full report in the session logs as per usual.

Same again tomorrow hopefully as well.
