It looks to me that there is a small weather window on Thursday night.
So, weather gods permitting, we will probably do a night passage and move her from the Solent to Torquay arriving at the crack of dawn on Friday.
If succesfull, this will probably be the last time that she will be in the Solent. Once in the Med, I cant see her ever coming back - she's too big to cruise round these waters and she's all set up for a comfortable life in the Med.
Forumite FenderGirl has volunteered to come along as crew and if the sea state will drop a bit in line with the wind, we should have a comfortable run down. There seems to me to be a small ridge of high pressure for about 6 to 10 hours during Thursday night and into early Friday morning. If this little weather window doesnt actually appear, we may have to leave it until a later date.
BTW have you seen RogerRat's boat on page 128 of today's MBY?
