Slight N in the wind meant huge gusts, and some massive lulls !
Started on a 6.5, massively overpowered so dropped to the 5.5. Still massively overpowered at times, but then wobbling in the gaps. Got fed up with the wobbling, so went back to the 6.5 and my last session on that was the best of the day. Think the wind had evened by the end of the afternoon. Beautiful sunshine and blue sky too towards the end.
Lots of people out - and alot of rig changing to try to work out what was best in the conditions. Almost an unofficial Nomad meeting - with Keith, Martin H, Bob, and Rachael. Hardly any boats either
A good bank holiday weekend for sailing after all

Yes very gusty. Started on 7m T'bird and JP X-Cite 130. Massively overpowered in the gusts. Changed down to 6m Storm well downhauled but stayed on same board so could avoid the serious wobble sinking feeling in the lulls. Really good but still a bit overpowered in some of the gusts. Cloudy to start with but lovely sun later on. Wind started NW, then swung a bit more westerly ( just like Sat), then swung back NW.
It was definately a good day - really hard to get the boards back on the roof.
