Autumn's here...

And it's been a long windy summer. Too bad that September sucked, rather than blew. The enforced break from a concussion suffered (whilst surfing - bah!) on the August Bank Holiday, coupled with no wind to speak of, meant that last weekend (4th Oct) was the first time out for 6 weeks. And that was in a F7, gusting F9, down at Avon Beach. Given those conditions, I sailed pretty well, and was relatively relaxed especially in the hands, which is a Good Thing.

So now I'm considering windsurfing holiday options for October - Tiree, well it's a long way and the ferry isn't cheap. Ireland - very tempting, but also a long way and not cheap. Brandon Bay sounds great but it's 300km across Ireland. However, it would be sensible to go somewhere where other people are around in case something happens, which it surely will. Tarifa/Canaries - yeah... those too. And there's always West Wales, some gorgeous beaches there. I expect I'll end up at Hayling...
