A good forecast with a little swell so Avon Beach was the spot of choice for me today. What a stupid idea. First day of the school half term and the M3 was an absolute nightmare. A journey that normally takes abotu 1hr 45mins took just under three hours... Worst of all, when I finally arrived at the beach, everyone was coming off the water giving me the impression I'd missed the best of the conditions. I rigged up anyway, after all I wasnt going to turn around and head straight back to London. Then the wind filled back in and I was happy. A good couple of hours with the sandbank to myself messing around in waist high waves. I stayed out until I could no longer hold the sail up.
