There was 33 knots this afternoon in Titchmarsh, which made me pleased with my decision to return to my berth from Fox's yesterday after having some new gear fitted. I didn't see anyone around there; they must be armchair sailors.

Yes. The night's are drawing in.

Monday is my last chance of a sail in April 2012.

Thank god for IPL Cricket this month.

Monday is looking the best day of the week, 19 degrees and a lovely breeze. At Brightlingsea we have our first refresher evening, we have been so lucky with our courses so far! I guess being a bank holiday next weekend the weather once again will be lousy!

Can't say as I'm regretting abandoning the plans to scrub the bottom and set up the rig this weekend!

Was going to fit a wind gene yesterday but thought better of it.

you will never recover all that lost energy, its a waste

34 knots? Pfffft. A mere breeze.
You should have tried the south shore at Harty Ferry late last night where Thames CG sent us to check out a beached boat, come ashore off the moorings. Torrential horizontal rain, could hardly stand. Worst weather I've ever had on a shout. Worst of all I hadn't had my tea when the pager went off....

looking at the sheerness webcams:

the Sea State doesn't look to bad, considering the wind direction? The live wind is showing gusts to 44 knots

Rotten isn't it.

I was in Shotley Friday night onwards.... gave up and came home saturday evening as it was too foul to face another night onboard....

(but did get my new freezer working, so ice cream onboard!)

With the current weather the freezer wont have to work too hard! Looking like N'lys settling in by next weekend so the BH will be cold.

Don't fret - weather's bound to improve by next WE as I'll be working

Yep, just been looking at ECMWF synoptics for the next 10 days, and there is a lot of agreement that next weekend is going to be sh*te

Never mind.... i've given up, and find myself in the office instead

Mines a rocky road please.

 

[Hadenough]

Be a pal and dinghy out to Pin Mill to make sure we are ok on the mooring

--------------- OK I'll just carry on stressing then!

 

[Fr J Hackett]

Mines a rocky road please.

Is that a comment on lives vicissitudes or some little known colonial ice cream

Fair weather sailors?

I was down below doing some re-wiring and keeping out of the rain. It certainly got wild during the night with the wind side on - rocked me to sleep!
