Breezy?

Post by ash »

Mmmm
St Davids Head to Great Orme Head including St Georges Channel - Strong winds are forecast

24 hour forecast: Northwest 4 or 5 backing south 7 to severe gale 9, veering west or southwest later. Moderate or rough becoming rough or very rough. Rain or showers. Good, occasionally poor.

Outlook: Westerly or southwesterly becoming cyclonic, 6 to gale 8, occasionally severe gale 9 in south. Rough becoming very rough or high, then very high later in far south. Rain or showers. Moderate or good becoming poor.
Guess who is booked on the Holyhead / Dublin ferry tomorrow, Tuesday, afternoon.

I'm currently in Bangor so it will a hard run if I need to go Cairnryan / Belfast.

Another amongst us will be travelling East to Snotennoseland across the foaming sea etc etc and will be pleased with your forecast implying, as it does, a speedy passage. It is surprising how these OAPs get about (Saga?) and snarl their Zimmer frames at the bar preventing others from ordering a drink, other than by shouting loud enough to drown out the clacking of their dentures.

Drove across Anglesey in sunshine and +5C whilst R2 is reporting problems with snow in Cumbria and Scotland.

They're loading the unaccompanied freight, so we should be going. Just need to be able to dock in Dublin.

Ash - you need to be aware it might get a bit damp Friday night and Saturday. A boat is the best place at the moment.

Well, I made to Dublin OK.

Now on Belfast / Cairnryan.

Started 50 minutes late.

Think it might be lumpy.
