{WR} Haytor 11/6/08 (Still sunny)
1540
Temp 19.3 SCT Cu Hum ISOL SC Tr Ci 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. Will (Haytor, Devon, 1017 feet asl) -- |
