Bristol Nomads Windsurfing Club

Just been looking around Dave's website - some stunning, beautiful shots ..

Sue

Decided not to go to the Knap as it was cloudy - but now the sun is out, wind is getting up, my chimes are chiming, and I bet those magic stones are working

Definitely going somewhere tomorrow - WSM, Axbridge or magic stones land (they do have a certain allure about them!!) ..

.. maybe smile sweetly at the photographer, Matt .. or do a trick ..

I don't recognise that windsurfer, nor the board, either ..

Lovely photos, thanks Kelvin - good to see the pics of everyone, and worth visiting the sunny side for

Sue

Knap may be good tomorrow mid-afternoon through to the evening.

Anyone tempted away from work to come out to play?

Otherwise WSM may be OK Wednesday, Thursday during the day

Sue

Will ensure I wave and smile next time .. :-)) :D . Lovely clear photos - many thanks to whoever took them :D I changed boards yesterday from 105 to 85, plus put masses more downhaul on my 5.5 sail with the help of my Nomads after-xmas party gift :D . That seemed to do the trick rather than rigging ...

Hi Justin and Lorraine

Great call yesterday, thanks - still buzzing from it

Will give it a miss today - a little tired, and seeing as the forecast is not quite so guaranteed I have other things to get on with really

Hope the sun shines and the wind kicks in for you.

Sue

Will see you there, Justin and Lorraine. Better get the map out as I haven't visited that spot before.

Not sure quite how windy it will be as the forecasts seem to vary (inshore water has a red line round the coastline ) - so will take all 3 boards to play safe!

See you tomorrow

Don't you mean "terror" Adrian

Advance notice Justin and Lorraine are looking at a trip to possibly Cold Knapp on Sat (tides better there for sailing than WSM). Don't know if its an orange, black and white kite free zone ... :D Portland is also looking OK (I'd prefer to try out Knapp if the conditions are right). Sunday is lookin...

Now that you have reminded me Matt, Justin did warn me (as he was setting off to Wales) to keep a safe distance re an orange/ black and white kiter that had been dive bombing them on a previous occasion - so maybe it was. Just as well said kiter didn't manage to get his kite airborne during the enti...

Very pleasant little session at WSM yesterday evening. Justin (he must get the award for the keenest Nomad!) had already rigged and beginning his walk to Wales. Useful though as a guinea pig, as he was v well powered on his 5.7 and 96, so I rigged my usual 5.5 and 85. Wind stayed for a perfect 1.5hr...

Oooohh - windy (already) and sunny today! 8) 8) Hoping to get a sail at Axbridge mid/ late afternoon. If that doesn't work, then I'll probably call in at WSM for a late sail (- would be short as tide is late tonight, but Justin reckons it's sailable, probably from about 6.30pm onwards with a walk). ...

Wondering whether to go this evening - although the water doesn't arrive v early. Anyone else tempted?

Sue

Hey - are you after my badge, Justin ?

Sue

Pleased it worked out - do I get the badge back ? Perhaps I should start charging for wind alert tip-offs . .
