Today looked promising for a windsurf with a good breeze from the wsw and mild too, the wind was light first thing so I had time to do my exercises. The breeze started to build so I decided to drove over to Levington Marina around midday as the tide reached low on the River Orwell. There was enough wind to tempt me out with my 6.5 and I launched by the marina entrance and sailed straight out to the deep water, I beat up river and although I did have some good flying runs once again the wind was very up and down, so this is my 4th session of the year and to be honest they have all been poor, I am looking forward to getting back on the sea where the wind is more constant but things need to warm up a little first! I had one long run up towards Pin Mill before the wind dropped out and I had a slow sail back! The highlight was when I was packing up there was a bit of a rainbow:)
