those Med boaters are missing all the fun

Winds are set to build next week as a deep low pressure rumbles across the Atlantic this weekend. ‘We are tracking a storm but its path is uncertain at the moment,” said a Met Office spokeswoman, ‘but, it looks like it will bring strong, gusting winds of up to 75mph (65 knots, force 12) and gusting showers as well.’

The astronomical phenomenon, known as syzygy, could lead to tides of up to 15m (50ft) along the Bristol Channel coast and Guernsey’s Met Office has warned of tides up to 12.2m (40ft) on Saturday morning. Syzygy, which affects Earth every 18-19 years, will last throughout the year and will exert maximum effect on 21 March and 23 September, the Vernal and Autumnal equinoxes.

You're right we are. I am sitting in a bay off St Jean Cap Feerat having just had lunch in board shorts, wife in a bikini and thinking of going for swim.

Work Monday is going to suck.
