A good forecast today with a moderate breeze from the SW maybe WSW and I was keen to get out early to make the most of low water so parked at Squiz Lane at The manor end in Felixstowe at 8.20 and my foil board was quickly set-up on the beach. Sail choice was harder as the wid was cross off but there looked a good breeze a hundred metres off the beach, I toyed with rigging my 6.50 but in the ed went with my trusty 5.75 which proved OK for the ear two hour session! Launching just after 9 I picked up the wind about a 100m off and once agai had some lovely long flying runs in some nice smooth water. The wind probably turned even more off as I beat up to Landguard beach and the wind did turn a little patchy but I managed to get flying on every run and didn’t fall in once, just my out on the water with several swallows out over the sea heading south for the winter, amazing to think that such small birds fly so far! After sailing nearly 25 miles it was time to call it a day and head in and was home by midday to unload as we are having a day out for Mags 66^th Birthday:)
