Fresh at Freathy

A few beers the night before was enough to convince us to head to Freathy on a forecast of lighter winds in the east and a low tide.  With a full van full of toys we headed off to visit the South Devon lads.

As we rounded the Fort the sea looked a little more rippled than expected and the sight of a hangy launching confirmed it. On site it was about 20mph so time to rig the hangies. Kaz , Phil and myself popped them together whilst Adie and Peachy socialised and made themselves generally useful.


Hello little boys ….says Peachy

With the tide still in Kaz and Phil decided to wait a little so i took off for a fun race  along the lifts to pop in  a small out and return in double quick time accompanied most of the way by Sam a on his Sport 2.  By the time we got back the wind had filled noticeably and the guys decided to hold fire and watch the fun on landings.


more sitting, didn't your mother warn you about getting piles ? 

Much wind measuring and a test with the ASKA confirmed it was windy.  More chatting and coffee then as the day drew on Kaz and Phil decided enough was enough. peachy left and that was all that was needed.  Another test on the ASKA and this time no problem although to be fair it was still mid twenties plus a bit!    A fun day out in the sun and good to catch up with the SD guys, must do it again some time.


time to de rig as the shadows draw out

Quote f the day "who's that mad women" well it plays havoc with your hair when sticking your yea out of a car window at 70 mph, sorry we got there in the end .

Oh second quote later in the evening "frogs chorus"
