Colhel,
as it's been blowing strongly for a few days, I'd expect there may well be a big swell and surface drift set up; Wareham is a nice place !

It's going to be bright and sunny
Or wet and overcast
Hope that helps.
Do these people REALLY get paid?

I've always thought there can't be any truth in the theory about the powers of Extra Sensory Perception, or weather forecasters would be knobbled by thunderbolts all the time by p'd off sailors...

Got to be back by 3 so it's an early or nothing for us.
Up to 4 gusting 5 and dry ish and were happy.
More wind or wetter and were not.

Phill,
I've always thought coastal conditions are more dangerous than offshore; there's always the train home, and get the boat back another day...

Agreed. No heroics from our end. Note there are lots of no go points. I only live 15 mins from the boat do if it looks good then great, of not then its home again.

Fantastic day out today. Only sailed around the north side of the east Solent, but it was great fun. Thank goodness for a good weather day on a weekend. Lets hope that its the start of summer (but I suspect its not 
)

Yep, enjoyed today. I was a bit late setting off due to wine sampling last night. Still, had a few runs up and down the Swash Channel, a friend took some pictures from the chain ferry which I'm looking forward to seeing. Stopped at Shell Bay for lunch, then went exploring Poole Harbour. Very nice.
