Are you sure Thursday will be better than Wednesday?
Friday, actually, will be much better than either of the previous two days.

Whilst I am sure it would be OK these web cams suggest it's not flat out there yet.
I find them a usefull guide to the inshore conditons in Poole Bay.

Re: hm
ArrGggg. F2 moderating!! Never seen one of them. Hardly worth bothering going if it's that flat. Might as well sail round Glasson dock!!

Re: hm
well, the wave predictory thing say there will be some waves on stern quarter 1.5 -2metres which is wavy - but behind so not too bad.
Am sure twill be nicer thursday. But i think the salty seadog shd praps take him out to se what 1.5 m wave looks like - my gues that on a wallopy broom 3 miles in the air probly fine.

Dont blame you. Tonights Met Office shipping forecast is a bit marginal (shows how you can never trust 2 - 5day forecast from a couple of days ago). But still might be worth poking your nose out tomoorow. But, if you've got time, take it

Re: hm
Dont want to start another marathon thread but where do you get F2 with waves behind? Tonights shipping forecast for Wight is SW 5-6 backing SE 3-4 which means its going to be off the starboard bow and then on the nose. Not too pleasant if the forecast is correct

Re: hm
I've stopped arsing around with winter lift out. Boat moves all year round. Growth in summer. Most of distance sailing in summer. So better zoomy zoomy summer at 25 knots than winter piddlling about at erm 17 when most times only need 8/10. M Farter should be back up to collision speed for the summer. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
