Was really looking forward to today with sunshine and a good breeze forecast so got down fairly early at approx. 9:30 to catch the low water. The three members of the Hurrel family were rigged and ready to go with 6 to 6.5 sails as it was a bit windier than forecast, I have no 4.60 mast and my 6.6 rotational needs a repair so was limited to what I could rig so went with the x-15 6.4 which wasn't ideal in the very choppy North Sea :( In the end the sail was fine but it was the worst sea I have ever sailed in here at Felixstowe with chop on chop horrendously bumpy and very hard work :( The best conditions were up by the kite beach but the runs were short, the wind was also very up and down and I had to use my 133 board for awhile. The wind picked up a little so I tried my soft 5.6 but the tide was now high and the sea even worse :( shame really as it was a really lovely sunny hot day and the water warm in a shortie :) North East is now the best direction here at Felixstowe.
