Having paid out good cash for a detailed weather forecast - its looking reasonable. Low winds, OK a few odd showers maybe but the isobars are spaced far apart ... that IT. I am going somewhere this weekend .. .just cannot hold out much longer without a trip ... I need the fix!

I will plan my trip tonight .... I enjoy that bit and I shall go .... Am I tempting fate?

Well Paul, bearing in mind your earlier post when you claimed total responsibility for the bad weather we''ve all been having, suggest you plot a course for the Azores. That's where all the High's that we really want originate, so I reckon if we can get you there, they'll all bugger offf to us here.

Dunno what sort of range your boats got though.

Perhaps you'd get there quicker and easier if you fitted jets. Can get you a good deal on ex-RAF Phantom engine if that helps.

Well, if you paid the fuek bill, I just might try it!

Really, the problem is that I reckon I have an 'anti-high' field around me and any boat I own, so if I head north this weekend, that will drag the bad weather with me and may just let the high, that lets face it, is trying to push in, to just cover the south coats and give you a reasonable weekend.

I will do that and if it works, you can all club tpgether to send me way north and have the high sit over you for weeks on end until you pray for some rain and fresh winds.

It's glorious, but stuck at home today. I'll be out tomorrow, Sunday, and Monday, Tuesday and probably Wednesday.

I'll be floating (sic!) around Poole, Yarmouth, Cowes etc., may even amble up the 'amble, cos never been up there.

See yer.
