Wight storm 10 imminant

My VION 4000 warned me by bleeping its alarm as it dropped over night from 1017mB very fast and was 1002.3mB at about 1900UTC this evening. It has now risen very fast to 1006.9mB and still rising?

Whether the low has passed over the top of my yacht is a matter of conjecture but the weather seems to have eased a little?

Showers, Clearing, Cool. Read black forecast. :D
 
Sailor man I'm sorry I missed the opportunity to meet, yup yesterday wus purfect, some friends took a wee Mab from Brighton to Gosport 12hr door to door. I expect you were a tad faster:D

Watch out for that David Lenseman fella, he makes a good brew up :)
 
The German yacht, ROEDE ORM, seems to be hove to, but on fringe of AIS range, and heading towards traffic lanes. Not a good place to be in these conditions.

Yes I have been monitoring it, it seems to be drifting about at about 2 knots.

Its currently 10nm from Selsey lifeboat station, but the wind seems to have dropped off in the last couple of hours which should help matters
 
Just thinking about small boats out in bad weather whilst I'm getting ready for a comfortable nights sleep at home, makes me really anxious but I'm sure the crew know the score and can look after themselves. Pleased the weathers abating.

Cheers, Brian.a
 
That explains it...

.....My knees and hips were really killing me last night from about 20.00-02.00, when I finally fell asleep as just too tired to stay awake- fast moving lows seem to set my joints aching the last year or so- I can sell the Vion and the ordinary baro on the boat!
 
yacht Red Worm, eh

Driver is a member of a Hot Liquid re-enactment society?

Or has delusions of being a Jomsviking or Styrborn, perhaps?
One of my Swedish Sisters in Law did a big tapestry based on the book a few years back!
 
There is currently a yacht missing, unreported, in the English Channel this evening.

Solent broadcast a PAN PAN message this evening regarding a Dufour 45 named "SASSENACH" (white hull, white sails, 3 crew) and I believe they said wearing a White Ensign. This vessel departed Boulogne at 1030 French local time due Eastbourne but has not been seen or radioed in since departure?

Interestingly, the RYS yacht called "Sassenach" is listed as a Swan 55? :confused:
