Hi Kel,
Just thought I would e-mail you the latest for the launch of windsurfing on
Cardiff Bay.
Will It Be Worth It
Well I know forecast was not the greatest today,but was expecting maybe 15
S.E .
Anyway thought Iwould take a trip down the Knap after work to see what the
wind was like,but could not even get in the car park it was full with the
dreamers who only come out in the sun and take over the knap.Thought I'd take
a look at Cardiff bay as today was the first day you could windsurf there.Well
surprise surprise it has been canceled and put off to Sunday 15th Aug 04.
But the scheme to sail at the Bay is only a pilot scheme with restrictions.
1/Sailing times are Thursdays 17.30 to 20.00 and Sundays 9.00 to 12.30.
2/You can only sail in the designated area shown to you by a member of bay
staff who will be there at all times.
3/Age 16yrs and over.(I know this may create a problem for some ?.)
4/A min 12 mths sailing with Harness Lines.
5/Bouyancy aids must be worn or you will not sail.
6/Suitable footwear must be worn.
7/Windsurfers must do so in pairs (buddy system.)
8/On arrival you must read the Medical leaflet and fill in the MEDICAL QUESTIONAIRE.
You also must get a £2.00 parking ticket from the Pay and Display machine
before you cross the barrage where you will be met by a member of staff who
will tell you where to park and sail,aslong as you comply to the above.
Well I can see that they want you to Windsurf in the Bay Not.
Anyway a crap day no sailing,lets hope tomorrow brings some wind
Cheers ,
Paul Woodchip
