ok, a cold front whams down from the NW through england starting thurday, worst on friday, with saturday looking better tho still northerly, and high pressure building sunday. Following sea most/all the way down the atlantic is probably not too bad tho.
A reasonable plan would be to tootle along the south coast in the flattish seas with northerly on saturday at least to plymouth and possibly falmouth ready for a run directly over to la coruna sunday and sunday night.
Ross (no1 moose) will hopefully be able to give distances soton-plymouth-la coruna and soton - falmouth - la coruna so we can see what the distances look like. Also we can go with tide down channel, so when are the times for nice downchannel ebbs on saturday eh?
I will be on board by friday am latest.
If some (tico?) want to join the boat saturday, then it *might* be enroute to plymouth/falmouth as we may want to get fuel before closing time in plymouth or falmouth on the saturday, ready for anytime leaving on Sunday - otherwise its perhaps 2 hours to fill up on sunday morning in plymouth (or falmouth). 400ish miles to la coruna should be arrivable 22 hours later early monday morning for 3 hour fillup.
Another question for Ross's magic computery thing then - what are the tides doing in la coruna on Monday if we have to use the tidal fuel pontoon?
