Very pleasant again outside.

Too pleasant in fact. Took the dinghy out for the first time this season
on the Exe this morning and capsized in a NNW force 4 off Lympstone.
Obviously too strong for my capabilities. Mind you, the water didn't feel
cold, although I did have a short wet suit on and a buoyancy aid. I must
admit the wind caught me a bit by surprise, I was expecting a 3 in the
river as per the observations before I set off. Max. sustained wind turned
out to be circa 14 knots in fact around the time I capsized according to
the Starcross yacht club anemometer at 10m height (
http://www.starcrossyc.org.uk ). So there you go, proof if ever of the
need for inshore waters forecasts.
