bugga... we're going (were) to the IOW Festival tomorrow booked in to East Cowes and sailing (in a 25ft mobo
) from the itchen over to the island...
have called up the Solent Coastguard who painted a very dark picture of the likely conditions even with that short hop.
time to tell the good lady wife we may not be going

What a summer!.. sounds like going by car is not much easier..
A BUILD-UP of mud in car parks near the Isle of Wight Festival is causing lengthy delays to festival-goers’ journeys.

Just been looking at the AIS site - there is a dutch 11metre sailing yacht heading south east out of chichester harbour at the moment and I was expecting it to head back in but it seems to be continuing, surely not going for a channel crossing in this weather

It's Midsummer's Day! I want my money back.
I was going to pop down and put the sails back on today.

just checked all lines to boats on D pontoon, all ok
That's the good news.
The bad news is D pontoon is currently south of St Catherine's light!

Its all my fault. I bought a boat! While it was ashore and I was working on it through march the weather was wonderful. The weekend it hit the water the weather went to pot. Since its been in the water the weather has been pants. I think I'll sell the boat..............
