Typical isn't it... It's been windy all weekend, windy all day today and I've had the 'lurgy', just about feeling a little better now
and there's no wind forecast for tomorrow. Grrrr.

It's never too cold, it just gets increasingly uncomfortable... Looks as though I sopke too soon though and the 'lurgy' has got me
again... Beginning to think it is the side-effects of the new tablets the doctor has me on so I might stop taling them and see if that
does the trick!
Looks as though we might get some decent NE's for the end of the week so I need to be fit for those.

Thanks Al, this thread has made me feel so mch better! 
I used to think it was 'only me' who had work commitments, bad backs, or lurgies. Reading the diaries sometimes used to wind me up
(seeing how much fun I'd missed), but this makes me feel more normal!
I did used to wonder if you were super-human Al, but now I KNOW you're a mere co-mortal! Nice one!
PS - get better soon, you have a plane to catch in 6 weeks 
There's more to life than KITESURFING!
Let me know when you find it.

Hi Andrew,
Good to have you back and controbuting to things here.
I'm certainly feeling fairly 'mortal' at the moment... I am feeling better though today. I've stopped taking the tablets, but will give
them a go again in a few days time to see if it was side-effects from them or just soehting else coincidental.. If it is side-effects I
guess that means yet another trip to the doctors so that he can prescribe another set of drugs for me to try... And to think I only
went in for a check up!!!
Still, better to get things sorted now than to wait until I have a heart attack and try to sort it out then... Think I shall wait to
retry the tablets for a windless few days so as not to miss any windsurf action if the side-effects incapacitate me again!

Hey, get better soon matey! It doesn't feel right not being envious of you, I'm sure you'll soon put that straight soon!
No doubt over the coming months I'll have as much to contribute to 'grrr' as to the diaries. But right now I don't feel I'm missing too
much. Still on a high from Tarifa
I've also moved back into my house after 4 years of living in a caravan (I broadband now and don't pay for data use on GPRS, have you
guessed why I didn't say much?) and the plan is to get to Camber Sands a bit more... we'll see!

Just great... Plenty of kit, loads of time and the wind is suddenly 20-22 knots, but I've just drunk the best part of a bottle of
wine!!!

I'm still contemplating it.... I doubt you can get done for being over the limit on a windsurfer??? Although you can on a boat these
days, so you never know.... They'd have to catch me first though!

Did you go out Dan??
I did in the end but with my 5.7m sail broken I had to take a 5m out and there wasn't really quite enough wind.

Time for a rant, or urh confession.
My names AndyW and I haven't been on the water in ages. So long in fact that it's now a windsurfing drought.
And now to make matters worse the best wind in ages suddenly blows on a wednesday when I'm stuck working, my cars knackered, just needs
exhaust looking at and even if it wasn't I still have to take Josh to football tonight.
I've even bought a new board, as if I really need that incentive to make me get back out on the water! Easter, rubbish, had 10 days
off consecutive, now you'd think in that time that we'd get up to at least 12 knots sailable wind but no. We even just went to the
beach to just sit and look at the water, nice enough, great weather but just not the same as being out there. If I don't get out soon I
might as well just sell all my kit blah blah blah and do something else.
So Grrrrrrrrr, grrrrrrrr, grrrrrrr, I want to sail........
Thanks for listening, rant over.

Me too.... I had to work today despite the fact that the wind was blowing... There must be a better way to earn money!
Andy.. You could always just drive to the beach and walk up and down it with your kit.... As the holder of the Walk of Shame award that
is what you would do if there WAS wind!
There doesn't appear to be too much wind on the horizon either.
