It was difficult to get speed, guess it had with the wind to do.

Berit, the 27:th november storm.

1:st advent, 27 nov, the storm Berit paid a visit to the west coat shoreline.
I went to our local surf spot Torkelstorp early in the morning before the wind was catching up to much speed.
Sailed between 10-12 (with breaks in between). I used my JP slalom/race board, 69 liters, and NP RS Race 5,8 m2 sail. Wind was from W/SW and gusty, 14-19 m/s at that time.
Choppy water conditions made it very difficult to speed.
I had only max speed 31 kt.

In the afternoon wind picked up more and more.
In the evening out at Nidingen the average wind was 24 m/s with peaks up to 36 m/s.
