Another Lazy Sunday

Got up late, bacon butties then a stroll along the beach road into town. MUCH braver (and fitter) than me - these windsurfers (bet it was V.COLD).

I have only done this once, (about to namedrop) off the coast of Tobago. I reckon that I was 50% successful. Got up on the board, didn't fall off, sailed for miles, out over the reef heading for Trinidad. It was after quite a long time that I thought I had better turn and head for shore (which looked a long, long way away). It was then that I found out that I didn't know how to turn round (and I wasn't getting off the board, there were sharks and baraccudas there that I'd been fishing the day before). Thankfully, my boss (Eric who we were on holiday with) was starting to panick about getting to the airport so he sent a launch to tow me back. I actually got on the plane wearing only a towel and flipflops (sunburn too intense).

Think you can see that the sea is quite rough. Another shot below.

Several fishermen on the beach near the cafe (coming up to high tide).

Another shot looking back towards East Cliff.

Had a pint at Walton and Frinton Yacht Club, (adjacent boat yard crane below) then home for lunch and an extended power nap.
