If you struggled to sail on Saturday or Sunday, and are now sitting at a desk away from the sea, as I sit on my foredeck in T-shirt and shorts today, looking out over the western Solent the wind is up to 10+kts and there is all of 12 other boats out.

Just thought you'd like to know what you are missing. :p
 
Yes, but whilst you're sitting on your foredeck in T-shirt and shorts we're sat at our desks with our coffees and ... er ..... oh bugger .... please explain why it wasn't my turn to win the lottery this weekend .... :(

Only a T Shirt and Shorts, Nick?
Haven't you got the weekly washing done yet?
Obviously a perfect day for pegging your Grundies out on the rail, and watering the coachroof pot plants.
 
Git!

Looking at WindGuru, we could be in for more light airs, for this coming weekend's outing. It's a good thing that you'll all have an experienced moboer with you.

On a separate subject, what's all this about "coachroof pot plants"? I didn't think they allowed druggies in the Yot Haven :)
 
Course, if you don't have a girt heavy Moody, you'll have managed to sail at the weekend!
:D:D:D
I drifted down to Butlins head yesterday, had lunch, sun was shining, nice and warm then we beat back to Pwllheli, all sails up and drawing well, 5.5 knots, lubberly jubberly, why coulnt summer have been like that?

You'll be needing a 3 bladed fixed prop then. Apply to S/V Morgana....

But its is forecast to be a NE'ly, which couldn't be better.... a broad reach both ways!
