Interesting low out in the Atlantic that might be visiting around late next week.....

Hope the nice high over Europe wins out, and pops north to say hello! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

At least there'll be wind - anything but motoring all the way!!

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Can't argue with that!...

Just don't want too much wind either, hence watching the low carefully..... no pleasing some people is there!

Hmmm, if next weekend is anything like this one, I fear we may luck out.

Mind you, I haven't put my storm jib to the test...

Must ask the crew what they think...

Fingers crossed for a bit of breeze, a bit of sun, and a cold beer in Belgium (or with my navigation, France, Holland, Denmark, etc...)

You may be sure that the female, recently qualified Michael Fish on Full Circle will be throwing the runes into a bowl of goats entrails about Wednesday, and sifting out the tea grouts.
If its more than moderately breezy(and this means 4-5, not 6-7) and on the nose, then we may have some negotiating to do. We are carrying a none too robust sailor, who won't complain, but will be losing weight via the Cardinal Chunder diet method.
I have sacrificed a small chav, and offered him up on the local street corner garden wall to please the weather troll.

Fleet long term weather forecast's got a SW 5-6 for the end of next week.
But a SW 7-8 till the middle of next week, so things will be "lumpy".

Great.

Our boat is still in Lowestoft waiting for the SW winds to drop. I dont think it has been anything other than > SW 5 since 13 May.
