After an excellent day looking through the contents of my moth trap<\/a> and geeking out on invertebrates on Cors Fochno<\/a> (the bog behind our house), the sun was shining, there wasn’t a cloud in the sky, there was no wind and we were all starving. I therefore fired up the barbeque, picked some salad leaves and chives and watched over the charcoal whilst Anna rustled up some salads, including a potato salad made with our own potatoes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Half a hour later, just as I put the meat on the Barbeque, from out of nowhere (and later than usual) the NW seabreeze kicked in. Before long it was 25 knots so I ate my dinner pretty quickly and got out there on the sea for a sneaky little windsurf session on my Naish Hybrid Freewave and a 5m sail.<\/p>\n

It was the Boardwise Demo day in Aberdovey and I feared that as the wind had come through so late in the day they may have packed up and missed out on it. Luckily though I could see scores of sails sailing out from Aberdovey into the sea towards the bar so everyone over there obviously did manage to get out.<\/p>\n

I had a good sail whilst Anna and Morgan had a sleep in preparation for our Nightjar and Glow Worm walk<\/a> later that evening. It wasn’t particularly fast and no records were broken in that respect but it was good to be out on smaller kit in the sunshine. There weren’t really any waves either so it was just general blasting around on blue seas. Perfect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
