Ad Lib 163

 

A black silhouette swoops out of the sun. Streaking playfully across a tumultuous grey sea.

Which breaks clean across the Brighton marina entrance. The breeze now south westerly and back up to thirty knots.

The kind of conditions which are calculated to draw seasoned kite surfers to the beach.


This low pressure system is expected to clear through during tomorrow. Although opinions vary on the precise timing.


Stargazer requires only a small window to round Beachy Head. Which her skipper hopes to do, with the help of tomorrow afternoon's fair tide. Once the breeze moderates.


The aim being to strategically position Stargazer in Eastbourne. From where it is possible to play the tidal gates, to reach Ramsgate. Last stop before home.


At blistering speed, the balletic figure leaps and gyrates over and across a shimmering seascape. At one with wind and wave.
