That’s OK for a modern boat with a crew of blokes, but for modest boats with family crews it isn’t always so easy. I found to my amusement that Bornholm has something of the same reputation with Danes, as it is about as far as they can get with the hope of getting home again in a two-week cruise if the weather is unsettled and is also viewed as a Shangri-La.
Glad it is not just me. I'm not even trying to get further west than Plymouth (from Chichester). Got a bit optimistic yesterday and this morning booked trains and stuff so I can have a car available. We have a landbased week in the middle of the "cruise". Then stumped up for Windy Premium and Bam, something big seems to be looming in a week's time. I do have flexibility factored in but really keen to get cracking westbound.
The forecast for Monday looks fairly favourable to get from Plymouth to Scilly, if I was up channel and wanting to get back that’s the one I’d be watching.
We’ll just watch and see how things shape up. I was looking again earlier and it’s still anyone’s guess. Not committed to anything. It’s more the journey over, we have always moved about to make the best of the available shelter day to day when there… within reason of course.
