Weather permitting we are venturing out to Weymouth this bank holiday never been further than Poole so far, any tips or things to look out for. Anyone else going that way who wants to meet up?

I'd watch out for that scurvy mongrel LJS if I were you. But also Lulworth Cove where you can hide away from him. Beer from the pub, Icecream for the kids. Then when you come out, keep close to the rocks. I said close. Not over them!! Look out for the rocks with big holes in them, you can see right through to the beach at the other side. Handy for photoing the topless birds without being caught!! Look out for Nelson the seal, we have not seen him so far this year.

Just watch out for the overfalls off St Albans and Durlston Heads. If its blowing more than F4 from anywhere other than N, try to pass at slack water or with wind over tide. You can avoid the overfalls altogether by going 5 miles offshore or at St Albans close in and that means about 50yds from the cliff
Lulworth is a nice spot to anchor but if its crowded go to Worbarrow Bay or Chapmans Pool
In Weymouth, dont bother going under the bridge to the marina. Raft up in the harbour, there's leccy and water on the quay. The atmosphere is great and there's plenty to do and see including a very safe beach and loads of pubs/restaurants but nicest thing to do is scoffing fish/chips in cockpit with a few beers

If you do come into the marina, come and say hello. Ours is the big burgundy one, you can't miss it!
