I wouldn't read too much into a long-range forecast - just gets you wound up when you secretly know it will be a gentle W4...

Oh Dear!! One reef in and out of bunker two hours earlier!! Not a good way to start the day. I'll still make the 'pub francais' before it closes.

looks like a delicate balance between the icelandic low and a continental high with the channel on the borderline. see 120 hour chart see <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.maalla.co.uk/uk-weather/syn.htm>here</A>

metcheck is now showing a very optimistic f3 westerly for the outbound & f2 southerly for the return. this is obviously wrong as we couldn't possibly get that lucky after the season we've had this year!

Get them sou'westers ready!

Southwest winds of force 7 or gale force 8 are expected to veer Northwest and decrease force 5 locally force 6. The mist will become more extensive for a time as rain and drizzle arrives from the north. It should become drier and clearer later. Poor visibility in mist and rain, but otherwise moderate or good. Mainly rough seas tending to decaying moderate to rough.

Issued on 20th September 2004

Aint weather forecasting a dandy. I'm just looking at the BBC's predicted synoptic charts, which admittedly only go up to Thursday at this point - but there's no way any gale force 8 in them! Not for the channel anyway.

I don't think we're going to Iceland are we?

Marinecall (metoffice) forecasting SW7 - 8 locally for Thursday/Friday. Poor viz in rain/drizzle, seas Rough. BBC (5 day) doesn't mention poor weather 'cos winds due to increase over Thursday night praps. Ooer..

Looks like last year Pathfinder cruise after all!
