It was pretty windy out there with a steady 35 knot wind blowing and some bigger gusts. My big wave board and 5m sail were a little too much really. The air temperature wasn&#8217;t too bad at around 6\u00baC but with the wind chill and the cold water my hands were soon in agony. After a quick dip after bouncing out on the chop mid gybe this was soon forgotten about though as ice cream headache took over. I could barely see through the pain so headed back to the beach to warm up a little. Once my hands had thawed out I headed back out for a few more blasts in the chop.<\/p>\n<p>Col and Shem arrived on the beach while I was out there so I came back in for a chat. We also tried to help some guy get his car out for the sand but failed. Shem tried with his pick-up and pulled his bumper off but I think it was because he was rushing to get out on the water. We left him to it as he didn&#8217;t really want us to help anyway. We did say\u00a0we&#8217;d help him get out once we&#8217;d been out on the water if he was still stuck!<\/p>\n<p>Michelle turned up as well, along with a few other kite-surfers so I went back out while they all got ready. The wind has eased a bit by now and the nasty chop had all but disappeared so things were suddenly a lot easier out there and much more fun. Col soon joined me on the water as did Shem and now the conditions were perfect for a mellow session blasting around on the estuary courtesy of Ivor&#8217;s power. The wind continued to drop off though and soon there were occasions when there wasn&#8217;t enough. It was also Mother&#8217;s Day and I had lots to do so I headed int o pack up. Shem did too. The guy who was stuck in the sand had managed to get free though so we\u00a0didn&#8217;t have to dig him out.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/914760799\/embed\/124555ec6bda84e42ddd7fcc45bf361c2cc499b6\" width=\"590\" height=\"405\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I packed up, trying my best not to get the camper too sandy.\u00a0I&#8217;m still a little precious about it and want to keep it looking nice. I&#8217;ve never liked sand either as it gets everywhere but I think I managed OK. I will soon put the Quiverack on the roof for proper windsurf trips but for popping down to go windsurfing in the\u00a0estuary things fit into the back pretty easily if I put the bed out. I\u00a0don&#8217;t think I even need to wipe it down as I was fairly careful. I might have to wash the bird poo off though as a bird scored a direct hit just after I&#8217;d finished cleaning an polishing it yesterday! Then again, it&#8217;s being used a removal van later to get some furniture to my\u00a0nieces house so no doubt will get dirty and messy on that too. I&#8217;m going to spend more time cleaning and washing it than using it at this rate.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item
