RNLI Walton live weather....

Was just gong to mention the webcam there. If the lifeboat is violently pitching up and down, it might not be the best day to go out lol

EDIT The webcam seems to be down at the moment.

Bloomin' windy here in the City.

And also pleased 'cos got to use the umbrella that Taran gave me for my birthday at last - first time I've been in rain since April!

I would have thought an umbrella would be like a pedestrian spinnaker in this weather. Can you reef it?

They generally have automatic reefing, just turn inside out

St. Swithin's Day is 15 July, a day on which people watch the weather for tradition says that whatever the weather is like on St. Swithin's Day, it will continue so for the next forty days.

'St. Swithin's day if thou dost rain
For forty days it will remain
St. Swithin's day if thou be fair
For forty days 'twill rain nae mair (no more)

I am glad I had my trip away in May & June

On St Swithins Day 1976 - 20mm of rain fell on Luton in the late evening, then 38 out of the next 40 days were dry.

How late? Could it have fallen in the next day in GMT rather than BST or someting like that!!! Isn't it the exception that proves the rule

I don't know I'm no expert (in anything!!)

It's ok.. I'm an expert in everything.. Well in my own mind anyway

So will Jim (FullCircle) be right with tomorrow being an ok sailing day?? Start placing your bets!

Well fingers crossed mate. I shall be out a little later than 5am but hoping for marginally less blow than today..

Oh well 'll let me try out the storm jib if it all goes pearshaped.
