And we are off

[BruceK]

For 10 days of fun in the Welsh Med. Non stop breezes to keep us cool and sober. It doesnt get much better than this

 

[LBRodders]

Good luck Bruce!
Enjoy yourselves.

 

[BruceK]

Thanks Neil. When you catch up, bring pizza. Vix has your pizza oven aboard

Bruce, if Med Med summer sea conditions were like that day in day out, I probably wouldn't be boating at all (and if I were, I'd definitely be alone...)
Hope it's flat for a couple of days at least, enjoy!
You probably need a heavy 80ft displacement hull there...

Great, pass on our thanks to Vix.

Looks like a tricky week, and as it stands the weekend ahead. Based on the forecast, if we catch you up - you've had a terrible [weather] week. So in a way, I hope we don't!
We can start Thursday morning, so will be monitoring the weather with bated breath!

 

[longjohnsilver]

It’s certainly the windiest August I can remember, and the wettest. Today is looking like the first dry day this month.
It can only get better. After a 2 week weather break we’re off to the boat again tomorrow, hopefully for a few more weeks. Enjoy your cruise.

Hey Bruce fair play bashing outa Conwy!

I’ll nip into Halfords if yer an want ,use me Trade card to get you some wiper blade rubbers innit!

Forecast looks sketchy for a few days

Was there on Saturday. Certainly was a bit breezy but plenty of sun.

 

[BruceK]

Kwackers, at the moment we are on the hook at Aber. It was too windy to pick up fuel in Conwy so will entertain Mark trying to get into Vicky Dock for fuel and water tomorrow. Im hoping to reach Aberdovey but that is looking unlikely. So we shall travel aimlessly to wherever the wind blows and the sun shines. No expectations and no disappointments. Just glad to be on the water.

Forecast improving later this week. How reliable are UK forecasts?

 

[Mr Googler]

Head to the Isle of Man Saturday. Forecast looks flat. Classic TT this week and next...same as the TT really but much quieter visitor wise :encouragement:

 

[BruceK]

Forecast improving later this week. How reliable are UK forecasts?

You choose the one that is most favourable and stick to it

The first 3 days are reliable, thereafter its just educated guesses unfortunately

 

[ST840]

Have a good trip BK !! Oh yeah btw... thought you’d changed those curtains !! ?

 

[BruceK]

Just carpets and upholstery. Tried to get the curtains changed but ran into curtain hook snags. OEM has used something peculiar that no-one has. So it was shelved until I can replace rails too. Until then we put up with ir.

 

[MrB]

You should head towards Pembrokeshire Bruce, you won't be disappointed. It's quite stunning,rated the 3rd best coastline in the world iirc.

 

[Assassin]

Enjoy Bruce, and get curtains with trim tabs.

 

[PalmaTarga]

That's my kind of boating. We're Med based now, but I do miss the UK waters, the drone of the engines pushing the boat through the windy, rainy chop. Many a happy memory. Enjoy your holiday

 

[BruceK]

Thanks.

Kids dont seem to mind the water. Bit chilly for me

 

[PalmaTarga]

Nice, you can hang them out to dry on the davits too

 

[Danfarry]

Bruce, I won’t tell anyone but I’ve just been on the Webcam and you seem to be tied up in a marina. Everything OK?
Forecast looks great for the weekend btw.
