why is it when you have your 2 weeks planned to go away on the boat accross channel the weather is too unsettled? I think that I would prefer to get stuck in the solent rather than over there!

We had quite the reverse experience this year (just for once) we planned to run from the Orwell to Belgium on the Saturday, all was perfect and we left and arrived according to timing. The day we planned to go from Oostende to Neiwpoort was a bit snotty so we went via the canal which was an amusing diversion and we were glad we did it, the run from there to Blankenberg was done on schedule as was the run back to the Orwell. We had a great time and we never saw a wave over 1.5m except from the beach so I guess that’s our quota for another few years.

We're storm bound in Holyhead. About the most miserable place on earth.

Good News - Weather here in the Clyde is looking great for this weekend.
Bad News - Boat was lifted out the other day for a repair.

Well it's going worse here. Was advised to move the boat into a more sheltered place in the marina, for the forth coming storm.

Forthcoming storm? I know a Northerly is a bit incomfortable and a bugger if t's blowing you off a berth, but Windmap and Windguru indicate a maximum of about 15-16 knots , about 19 knots gusts for the next few days. If the marina is blown away, please post on here then I won't bother coming down on Sunday.

I know but marina bloke suggested we move cos NE wind. I dont bother telling H Head where I'm going to park, because they always give you a **** spot anyway Outside the break water usually, which is a bit daft, cos there are nearly no boats here anyway. Well Mf has now got her bows pointed into anything it can throw at us. We'll shift the marina around if need be.
