Wind chimes woke me last night, always a good sign. So here in Guernsey the surf is a little bit bigger than yesterdays session, 5/6 foot and with a west wind blowing for the last couple of days has pushing up a nice sized swell. South West winds blowing 25 knots made for some nice cross one wave riding today. Light and fluffy winds on the inside made some interesting conditions getting out but well worth the effort on the return journey. The weather was simply dismal grey,cloudy and raining on the west coast,but the good news is the wind is going to keep on blowing for the weekend. Unfortunately for Hutchy on his last wave he took a nice wipe out and took out his mast. After a 5 minute swim he was back on the sand.Lucky for him he was wearing his new ion onyx wetsuit.
Don't know how much more of this I can take. Four days of wave sailing and the body is broken, old sailing injury's are starting to play up, knees and ankles are showing their age. More of the same for the next couple of days and Saturdays forecast is looking good.
CONDOLENCE'S
The sailing community here in Guernsey was shocked by the news of Jamie Whalley's death while skiing in France with friends this week due to an avalanche. Jamie was a regular sailor at Vazon and will be remembered by the surfing community here in Guernsey. Out of respect to Jamie's passing, Hutchy has asked everyone to meet up at Vazon Bay at 10.00 am on Saturday morning and go for a sail. On behalf of all sailors and surfers alike, we offer our deepest condolence's to the families of all who were involved in this tragedy.
