Yachting and Boating World forums: This forum...............

This forum add on is a great idea for

we 're leaving Poole @ 0700 tomorrow for Guernsey @ 20-25 knts
anyone around ?

There is one forum member that does this on the mobo forum and I think it is a good idea.

And to cruise in company can be reassuring.

BUT
to plan a trip in advance has disadvantages as the advert forces a sense of failure if the weather turns and some will want to go in weather they would not normally leave in to save face.

I have planned trips to CI in advance including with forum members but done it by pm. And with other members who accept failure as part of boating.

There is enough [Email]pi@@[/Email] taking on here with out the added sense of planned trips going wrong and what about the Liability when the planned cruise ends in tears ?

I think the week I stumbled into your cruise you were incredibly unlucky with the weather including long term outlook for a return passage and the decision to stay this side of the channel was very wise.

Haydn, Im not sure if our North sea swells are up to yours but I would like to add they are not too comfortable at speed when the tide turns against them.
