The weather is here!

Currently in Dieppe and it's lashing it down. Fortunately we had just returned from our baguette run, so all is right with the world.

Glad I am at home: had planned a weekend away on the boat but opted just for a day sail yesterday, would have bee annoyed if Bertha had fizzle out!

We went to the Cowes fireworks on Friday (which was very wet, unforecast), night in Beaulieu, then sailed around in the Solent which was breezier than forecast but sunny. Had my mate's 6yo nephew with us, who enjoyed the experience and is proud of having now done some "proper sailing" :)

Belting it down this morning, bright again for now, but wouldn't surprise me if we get some more heavy showers.

Eyemouth ...

Wind only just starting here, rain came at 17.00
Rafted up with much string and all fenders out, even the ones from the locker bottom that NEVER get used...
Eyemouth expecting probs with surge at nearly springs early morning, sandbags much in evidence.
Pontoon guides extend 1m over quayside, should be fine

take snaps if you can

I love eyemouth
 
I saw the forecasts and decided I would go and see me mum. Weather has been good and ain't seen much of her.

Spent the morning in the car with mum, in a car park with steamed up windows and people looking in the car.

It was a car show, the weather clears up from around 10.30 till around 14.30.

Interesting day saw a Delorian and some other cars of note... Apparently many did not show because they don't like there cars getting wet.

Next time you see a vintage/ classic car on the road in the wet remember there brakes maybe a rim brakes like a push bikes, it will stop in the wet eventually.

Seems it's coming for a second bite, thunder, big winds and heavy rain...
 
All ok so far in Eyemouth. Water stopped <.5m below quayside. Dry at the moment but lots of wind.

Inshore forecast giving 6/8/9 today 5/7/8 tomorrow. Local flooding onshore on local radio.
Took pics from under spray hood, not very useful.

I was collected at 6am yesterday from the slipway by a skipper who had spent the night onboard. After a bouncy, and rather wet, 1/2 mile ride out to his boat we had a hearty breakfast and spend the morning in a F7 on an ebbing spring tide practicing pontoon bashing. The afternoon was spent moving Camelia back onto her mooring. Nobody else out on the water apart from a member of the club checking we were not doing too much damage to the shiny new pontoon. The weather was a wee bit different on the Exe.

The skipper and I were deligted with the days play.

Moray Firth is sunny apparently - one of the best places to sail I have been to on the journey so far
