Re: BH Weekend - France if weather reasonable

Looking at the weather at the moment its looking like a beam reach in W/SW3/4 (weatheronline) to somewhere in Baie de Seine overnight Friday (middayish HW on Sat) and getting back before the next weather system arrives Monday. (metcheck today predicting 25mph and Rain for the BH Monday Isle of Wight)

Sailing Cherbourg for wine but see the MOA lot also going so might have to wind up BigNick a bit.

Discovered this weekend that IanGrants handbrake is faulty, like my own.

Hopefully popping over the Channel. Destination dependent on weather though.

Anybody aiming for Cherbourg Saturday night ?

Where have you fitted the handbrake on your boat? I always use an anchor.

Will you be fitting a footbrake next?

We really need to get the weather right this weekend for a channel crossing with SWMBO.

Yep, well spotted. We are planning to go across Friday night, probably via the Needles if we can all leave work early enough.

Becky is going too, (hope she doesn't mind me saying so), and we are hoping for a dry, civilised weekend......(not!)

Yes, hope the weather gods are kind as I have the feeling we'll both be deformed in the ear department otherwise. I'd already told the waitress I was crew on Asterie!
