Swallow plenty of knockout juice. It looks like it's gonna be rough.


(If the truth be known plenty of knockout juice is consumed anyway, so no change there, then )

F7 ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think so.
Weekend in the Solent possibly or feet up in front of the fire at home.

Just downloaded the GRIB forecast for the weekend and the winds are expected to drop to reasonable levels - trouble is that there's plenty of sea state rolling in from the western approaches...

The crew of Vixen are definitely booked on it - and wondering if SWMBO is going to survive...

Is this a Beaujolais run?

I think it's safe to assume that some alchoholic beverages will be returning, though I've never been able to see the point in bringing back anything weaker than brandy...

Hopefully your weather will be nicer than we have it here in the Clyde Area today, 70mph damaging winds. Glad not to be on the boat for once..

You could well be right! The forecast is for the winds to moderate significantly by tomorrow evening, but it will take a lot longer for that sea state to moderate! :-(

Hi Mike
I'm sure it will be a smooth ride for you all. Just like that trip we took down to Yarmouth a few years ago. Which reminds me we are doing it again this weekend. Saturday forecast for the solent is F2/3 Westerley. Lovely.

As a follow-up, we had perfect weather and everyone I spoke to seemed to have a great time! Very little wind both ways and the sea was pretty much flat. I woke briefly about 4am Saturday and it was just about possible to feel a slight swell. On the return journey it would have been difficult to guess it we were at sea or still tied up in the harbour - glad we didn't chicken out!
