So who's looking at which forecast before deciding to go or not . Let's see if we can find one that shows a good outlook as my weather string isn't altogether reliable

No idea what the contingency plans are , I'm just relying on the Guapacast , it seems to work very well /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Not overly keen on high winds in a shallow draught mobo but the wet stuff doesn't worry me /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Told you Dougie , it's always 2 to 4 variable /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Nice one Will /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif but are you sure VAT is payable ? or is that the other VAT /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Of course you noticed the approaching rain on entry to Harwich and found saviour at the chart table



Rather than getting soaked like the crew

The alternative VAT is much preferred too /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif though the Scottish produce some rather fine alternatives of thier own /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

GUAPACAST

OK, seriously this time.



Southern North Sea
=============

Saturday
----------

Rain, sunny spells later.
18°C
WNW 6 - backing WSW - Decr 5 later



Sunday
---------

Sunny spells, overcast later. Showers
19°C
SW 4-5 - backing SSW - Inc 6 later


Is an offshore forecast, inshore may be a variation on the theme.

This one's provided FOC, as you already paid for this one in tax.



Crossing to Ostend on Sunday - just the ticket for Guapa.
Needs a bit of a breeze to get the old girl going.
Aiming for <11hrs crossing. Best time so far 11H15m

Re: GUAPACAST

Sunday forecast is 'orrible for those battling back down The Wallet to Bradwell. SW4-5 incr 6 - pass.

The advantage of bad early forecasts is that they usually improve. Decision time for us will be Friday.

Re: GUAPACAST

I think Mr Bottles will also leave the final decision till then , and if I remember The Wallet correctly , that puts you on a course straight into the wind so not good at all
Being serious for a moment , let's hope for a change before the weekend

Re: GUAPACAST

No Dougie, I don't think it a native format Guapacast.
