Who's getting frustrated with the weekend weather? It's about time we had some warm, sunny, no wind weekends! The solent has some beautiful places to visit, just need waterproofs & wellies.
Weekend weather again!

Yep too windy for me especially when trying to berth without a bow thruster.
Maybe if I had a larger boat with a thruster then I would get more use out of it what ever the wind, thats what keep teller the other half.

Last summer was our first on the Solent and I did warn SWMBO not to expect every summer to be like that. I wasn't expecting it to be so consistently windy though.
Still, on a more positive note, we did discover last Thursday week that when the TV takes a flyer across the saloon it still works afterwards

At risk of committing an act of heracy, it is worth trundling round to Bembridge for a few days.

Have they finished dredging there yet? Was all a bit chaotic a few weeks back. A big chunk of the moorings couldn't be used.

well we were... the plan being to go next weekend, however its there family weekend / dance on the Duver etc etc, and although we went last year swmbo doesn't really like the massive queue for the toilets that weekend brings, I did want to dry out on the beach to give a scrub off, but again not a popular pastime with swmbo...

Yes, they've finished. The online tide gauge helps too.

Sunday looks dodgy if you ask me....you are on the cusp of the 20's, the flip side is it will keep the wine cool...

There are times when you can really go off some people
Mind you, I'm working so who cares anyway
