its gale force 2

[Bosun Higgs]

gusting storm force 3 and we are under full sail storming along at 2kn. Just off Looe heading towards plymouth for supplies. Got a lure over the side but no bites as yet.Probably as well - caught a decent bass and a small pollock lasr evening

nice to have a high pressure system here after two years without.


winddown to 2 kn and boat speed now 0.8

Well we have been up in lovely Scotland in 'gentle breeze' 8 gusting 9 off and on this last few weeks. It's alright for some.

Hope you had it reefed right down.
Be careful of those squalls as well.. they can hit you with and extra knot of wind.

 

[Bosun Higgs]

no worries! reefs in, lifejackets on, epirb ready, and all tied on.

even worse today - gale force 1 if that and serious risk of going lobster pink. bimini up or at least the roof part of the wendy house as we chugged from plymouth to salcombe. intrepid or what?

Has this been observed and verified by TS Royalist?

If not, I might be dubious of this astounding tale of derring do.
