Great day at Felixtowe  - first time in the river mouth and a bit hairy in there ! hell of a current running out to sea - if you dropped the kit it would be gone forever - not easy getting upwind to the river and then up the river - so couldnt use my fastest kit - give my £5 fin a lot of stick in the shallows. but the old Axis went well .  My new (ish) Tush X15 5.8 is perfect -- I love it - easy to rig an sail -  used my 6.3 Simmer race later - and had exciting ride back downwind to the dip .

 got Spot record !!  beat Steven Squirrel !!   sorry Steve !

After going for distance yesterday and getting 100km's thought I'd push the envelope and try for 100 NM.  Sun out and and NE wind a bit stronget thatn yesterday so rigged the 6.7.

Covered a lot of the lake with a couple of trips to Whitwell for some hairy downwinders back.. Unofrtunately after 60NM on the dial and on last visit up to Whitwell the GPS ran flat so lost probably 5-10NM or so and therefore had to pit and re-charge.  Went out for another hour or so but was pretty fatigued and therefore knoked it on head once I got to 75NM.

Speed strip was almost firing - wind just needed to be a bit stronger and more easterly.

Loads out from the club so good blasting with the guys.

PB for NM!!

Awesome day sailing with a good number of the crew and feeling fitter after my initial 7m session yesterday.

New board and sail going well.  If only I could have found some extra power in the flatter water zone - 6.2m would have been perfect.

Looks like easterly for tomorrow - not that sure how it works so will just have to wait and see.
