Weather forecast for this weekend

[Sixpence]

So who's looking at which forecast before deciding to go or not . Let's see if we can find one that shows a good outlook as my weather string isn't altogether reliable

[D3B]

Three!!!!!


And not one of them is suitable yet /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

But still plenty of time for the weather gods to perform......

No idea what the contingency plans are , I'm just relying on the Guapacast , it seems to work very well /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Not overly keen on high winds in a shallow draught mobo but the wet stuff doesn't worry me /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[Sixpence]

Told you Dougie , it's always 2 to 4 variable /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Nice one Will /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif but are you sure VAT is payable ? or is that the other VAT /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[D3B]

Ah

Of course you noticed the approaching rain on entry to Harwich and found saviour at the chart table



Rather than getting soaked like the crew
/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[D3B]

The other VAT is usually available /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[eastcoastbernie]

No point in getting old if you don't get cunning.

/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[Sixpence]

The alternative VAT is much preferred too /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif though the Scottish produce some rather fine alternatives of thier own /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[OR4751]

OK, seriously this time.



Southern North Sea
=============

Saturday
----------

Rain, sunny spells later.
18°C
WNW 6 - backing WSW - Decr 5 later



Sunday
---------

Sunny spells, overcast later. Showers
19°C
SW 4-5 - backing SSW - Inc 6 later


Is an offshore forecast, inshore may be a variation on the theme.

This one's provided FOC, as you already paid for this one in tax.



Crossing to Ostend on Sunday - just the ticket for Guapa.
Needs a bit of a breeze to get the old girl going.
Aiming for <11hrs crossing. Best time so far 11H15m

[Sixpence]

Doesn't sound too bad at all , and quite good for your crossing too

[MoodySabre]

Sunday forecast is 'orrible for those battling back down The Wallet to Bradwell. SW4-5 incr 6 - pass.

The advantage of bad early forecasts is that they usually improve. Decision time for us will be Friday.

[Sixpence]

I think Mr Bottles will also leave the final decision till then , and if I remember The Wallet correctly , that puts you on a course straight into the wind so not good at all
Being serious for a moment , let's hope for a change before the weekend

[D3B]

Now these one I like

saturday looked good all the time (http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rtavn721.html)


latest from the weather guru's for Sunday (http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rtavn961.html)


And this is really pleasing to the eye Wind Guru (http://www.windguru.cz/int/index.php?sc=24118)

No good for saily types /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif


Might be some moisture with it but with a tent around the boat we wont be getting wet /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif



I have just been reminded that this looks a bit like a Guapacast /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

and its free too /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[FullCircle]

No Dougie, I don't think it a native format Guapacast.

This looks more like......


A BOTTLES JOB!!!

do you mean no excuse for Bottling out with that forecast /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

[FullCircle]

ahem!

[Sixpence]

As is the norm , every forecast is just an educated guess , although those look like Morgana guesses to me , check loads of forecasts and find the best ones to suit requirements /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
If they turn out to be accurate we should have a good weekend ahead of us /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gifand if the rain holds off just a little bit longer today I might even get some painting done /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif but only the man upstairs knows what's really going to happen /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

To much wind, to little wind, wind in wrong direction.............

[Sixpence]

Oh dear /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif hadn't thought of that /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif must run off and lash down my fleet before the weather turns /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif wouldn't want anything untoward happening would we /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
