After the distinct lack of sailing days last winter... this year looks like more of the same. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
Feels strange - not having to check the forecast on a daily basis.

Didn't get the sails off last Sunday as too wet. Won't happen this weekend as too windy! Boat is being lifted and mast taken off on 1 Dec. I hope Sat 29 / Sun 30 is OK.
Maybe I should try and earn some brownie points and offer to take SWMBO Christmas Shopping on Saturday. She will probably say no and want to do it on line, just she isn't very computer literate so I will end up doing it, a type of shopping I don't mind too much!
Pyro - have a great time - hope it goes well.

I'm off to Japan with work this weekend where Tokyo has predicted 15degC and wall to wall sunshine.
Truth be told, I'd rather be here sailing. The trip back from Shotley to Bradwell yesterday was just brilliant. 4.5 hours, averaging 5.6kts with a max of 8.2 with NW's all the way growing in strength, tho 25kts just off the nose in the Blackwater was interesting.
Go on, get out there, you know you want to !. Sorry, did you say SNOW ??. Second thoughts ............. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Wasn't going to mention it but I am off to Gran Canaria on Monday just for 5 days. Last time I looked (about 5 seconds ago) prediction was for 23 deg C. Sorry! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

When Clive is next along I am sure he could show a picture of his trip back from Brightlingsea in April with what looked like a Yetti onboard!

I agree with you. I have to go to Mauritius again on 3rd December for ten days work. I much rather be here. /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif
Actually it was gorgeous on the water today. Went to service my neighbours engines and the sun was warm, the wind gentle and the creek totally peaceful. Did think though I was going to be marooned by the launchman who was an hour late collecting me.

This is what you call snow sailing.
You should be able to see Clacton of our port quarter but there seems to be some frozen sunshine in the way.

mmm - lifting moorings this weekend. My job is to tow the barge with six blokes and up to five full sets of ground tackle - positioning it accurately in 35knts might be just too much fun...

I'm going over to to the Liveaboards site. They have much better weather there.
I'm supposed to be getting the sails off today in preperation for lift out this week. CANCELLED!

Neil, you will have noticed all sails off, the predicted weather held off until after we had finished on Sat morning, in fact it was quite pleasant.
