sunsail yacht playing dodgems in Ocean Village

[oGaryo]

If you own a Prestige 38 named all at Sea, a Sunsail yacht has just clattered your bow with their anchor and bounced off the boat in the berth next to you. Probably worth a call to the marina office as Rogerio saw what happened as did I. Gary

 

[Jurgen]

Ouch ?

 

[SteveSarabande]

Pretty windy out there, not easy manouvering in these conditions. I am suprised they are sailing

 

[Jurgen]

Just had to rescue a 42 foot yacht on B pontoon at Mercury, mooring lines failed ?

They were finishing off tying up another boat on the far side of the marina, honestly why don't people secure thier boats properly ?

Blimey, we have just driven back from Gatwick and all the signs are warning of high winds on Monday.... Looks like they will have their work cut out if this is the start of it...

 

[Whitelighter]

Waiting for the 36 hour Taf to be produced.

Flying out to Spain on Monday evening - hoping the wind won't delay the flight or be too distructive

Monday is the key day, though that shows wind speed building. 180 40 Kent gusts are going to cause problems at Heathrow, that's pretty close to cross wind limit for a lot of crews

 

[mcanderson]

I'm suppose to be going to Santiago on Monday. Oh well.

 

[Whitelighter]

A318/9/20 series is 38knts cross wind limit for most eu airlines - so BA/EZY etc. I don't suppose the B73x is much different.

Just postponed our flight out to Sardinia partially for this reason. Don't fancy spending the day hanging around Stansted

 

[Firefly625]

The joy of med boating eh?

Cross winds not as bad, but still windy.

This nonsense doesn't mean more fenders and lines then !

It looks to me that after 09:00 on Monday the wind will be on the nose if departing on 09 LHR.
