Poor Als under powered problems!!!
QUOTE>>>>Went to the beach with my 4m and 4,5m sails as the wind was gusting close to 40 knots, but once there it wasn't
actually that windy, just the odd big gust so went with the bigger sail..... What a surprise, nowhere near enough wind and I couldn't
get going at all.
Stood around for a bit chatting to Simon and Dunk and then had another go. Managed to get going this time but it was all a bit
marginal. Finally the wind did pick up for a while and I was able to get going properly and stay up wind so I did have a decent session
in the end. Even then, although the wind was gusting close to 40 knots, the lulls were pretty big and the average windspeed was still
less than 30 knots which was only just enough for my 4.5m sail.
Get the kite out again Al, we were all doing our best to hang onto 9s at aberdyfi today, you know it makes sense, hehe

You should of waited till the sun came out Al.
Solid 30knts + I was well powered on my 6 meter. I think I still prefer my "C's" but I suppose the 6m SLE is a bit safer in those
winds. It was just a bit lonely out there on my own.
For me, a top Autum day in the end.
Bring on tomorrow!
