Kirby  Light wind  USM!!!
A big thanks to Paul for driving up and helping me get my rigs sorted - Had the X15 5.8 rigged perfect
Cheers Howard for the Call and looking forward to seeing the photo's... Lots of sailors out enjoying the conditions and it was very pleasant in the sun.

We had a long journey, and found a Travel lodge near Manchester at 2am.. Up at 6 and down at the lake by 7am. There was a decent breeze already and it looked as though a top day might be on. Get the X15 5.2 and 5.8 rigged in anticipation of some good sailing.
In the end the wind really didn't deliver in terms of strength but the sailing and atmosphere was great as usual.

Windspeed was prob 17/18 knots on the water with gusts in the low 20's. Angle was pretty good, a little tight, but flat all the way down. Realistically if there was double the wind it would have been great.

Good speeds were very hard to find in the super light conditions so it was a day for trying out new stances and chop hunting wherever possible... Best runs were bearing off through the chop at the end which was a lot more fun than the flat water near the wall.... Used two GPS's today and had a 40 peak on the Garmin but a lower average LOL.

We left at lunch as the wind was gradually dying as the tide was coming over the wall and i got home at around 8pm! Bit of sunburn too. Was nice in Cornwall today and managed to sneak out for a quick surf... The water here is about as cold as kirby.
