Grrr, just postponed a Fri/Sat/Sun two yacht charter from the Hamble.
We always do the last weekend of November and usually have pretty good weather but I'm not going out in that.

Gusts of F10 too I heard at lunchtime!

Brendans photos will be a treat

 

[Nauti Fox]

Stop Press!!!!

Brendan defies monstrous seas

 

[burgundyben]

Tide table says HW today 4.4 mtrs, Sotonmet says HW was actually 5 mtrs, this is affect of high S or SW winds and low air pressure.

Best go check the boat tonight!

Dave do you know of a good web cam site where one could view the sea state in the next 24 hours?

 

[Dave_Snelson]

Nah - wusses weather! Not interesting or challenging enough /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Seriously though, whilst there wasn't a forecasted F12 in North Wales, F12 gusts did appear actually in Pwllheli Marina the year before last. Tore off most of the canopies that had been left on the boats, exept for mine /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Good old "Canvasman" quality build. Top bloke! The whole Marina and hard area was a right mess. It "calmed down" to a steady F10 for the remainder of the day /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Hey Dave, all the links on your Morocco website appear to be broken. Are you doing it next year? Looked interesting.

These surf webcams in North Devon should give a good idea

http://www.eyeball-surfcheck.co.uk/

In fact, surf websites are a good source of webcams around the UK (and the world)

 

[Dave_Snelson]

I've never actually brought the links live except for the weather and the booking email - but I am going out this evening with a friend who will do it all for me. My web skills are poor and this guy does it for a living, so it will look good sometime in the next couple of months.

As to the apartment itself, its all up and running and renting out. Its the closed season right now, so we don't have many guests (just one last week) but the weather is a darn sight better than Blighty!

You can try these, if they have not been blown away!!

Lee on Solent Sailing Club

Portsmouth Harbour

Cowes Harbour web cam

Poole and surrounding area

That should keep you going Clive. Plus of course real time wind reading from Bramblemet

 

[Dave_Snelson]

Hi Clive, indeed I do - try HERE as there are loads of cams. The best should be the "Hell's Mouth" (Porth Neigwl) surf cam. It ain't called Hell's Mouth for no reason! The cams are on the 3rd link down on the L/H side bar. They look good even now!!

Drove over the Burseldon Bridge at H/W today - the water was right into RK's yard as far as the sheds.

"increasing gale 8 to storm 10, perhaps violent storm 11 later." /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Good ol' BBC Atlantic charts suggest worse on Saturday as SW6 maybe a bit more!
But worse up North!

After the '87 cockup, you think they be more pessimistic wouldn't you? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
