[hlb]

Off to Plymouth on Thursday. The forcast is heavy rain. Would the panel please give there concidered oppinions and advise on what to do in the rain. Oh and before I get any wise cracks from Sandra, LJS or Brendan. Yes I've already thought of that../forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

Yes apart from the yachting world thingy on the side. Reminds me of wearing my Henry Loyd Round The World Race coat, stearing a banana boat on the Lancaster canal. It looked a bit out of place some how..../forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

Thats why they are still wrapped up and unused./forums/images/icons/crazy.gif

Thought of what....? No really, you're gonna take the cushions in this time!??? /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

Best thing when on boat and it's raining heavily is to go to pub - traditional one with log fires!

well going to the pub sounds like the best idea when its raining, of course you could always do an inventory of the bedding on board, including counting your pillowcases !

Muckyfarter in glorious sunshine...

right now (tues lunch), although rain was forecast... It'll be cloudy Thursday though - at least it will be if you fire those engines up! Mind you, Shaun with the Moonraker was doing a good stand in job last week - I couldn't see his boat for the grey clouds for about half an hour!

That's because when it rains on your boat and your in it, it means the covers are off and you get swamped./forums/images/icons/smile.gif

[BrendanS]

I don't care if it's raining or not, I go out boating anyway!!!

suggested pub, as Haydn has guests on board!

Probably going to fast for the rain to get in then.

[BrendanS]

that's the theory I work on , but it does increase the amount of salty stuff that comes onboard

[Alistairr]

Thats the same as i do, Except i don't need to worry about the Salty stuff!!!!

You picked the wrong weekend, spent most of Saturday in the Sound and anchored in Cawsands Bay for lunch. Had a good force 7 SW and a bit lumpy going over, waves 6-8ft high but close in no problem. Comming back was a bit of fun with a good following sea. Sunday was a different matter all together with force 9 SW really throwing the boats around in the marina, Will and his staff were seen doing the rounds and checking things out. You were Ok tucked into your sheltered spot. Hope you have a good weekend.

What's a bit of rain to an expert ???
Is there a decent pub Mountbatten way or will you be buying me a drink elsewhere in Plymouth ?
Glorious day today - first "trip" of this season - quite lumpy t'other side of the Bar so had a play./forums/images/icons/smile.gif/forums/images/icons/smile.gif/forums/images/icons/laugh.gif/forums/images/icons/laugh.gif.
Reconfirmed what a lovely pastime this boating lark is.
