Not looking too good for next weekend

[aquaplane]

Can I second that bu**er though not in the literal sence. Never mind, try for next w/e, it's bound to be nice then, I'm coming on holiday. That's that theory shot down in flames then depart sharpish like.

Oh bu**er

Sorry to hear about your trip being cancelled but I'm sure you'll be able to come up with an alternative housework avoidance strategy.

I'm still hoping to get a windy wee window on Sunday for the trip to Balvicar though wee weather windows make me wery wary since they are wont to wanish without warning.

. . . is not something that I have been aware of HTS ever actually requiring . . .

Pull yersel' together wumman . . . when we can't go sailing we go drinking, don't we?

Housework indeed!

Hope the North Sea won't be too bad. I'm taking an 18 Tonne truck on Hull to Zeebrugge ferry on Friday night. Working in the centre of Paris for a week, and returning Zeebrugge - Rosyth Friday 25th night.

Weather outlook now slightly better, only gusting to F9 now !! - but I am now sitting at work - trip definitely cancelled. And yes Nick I do think a fair bit of drinking shall be done this weekend - still would rather be sailing though.

PS it gets worse - we have been offered an alternative weekend - two weeks hence - and I am bl88dy working -

Housework is womens work anyway me old shipmate. You could come down here and help me with a spot of dusting if you fancy?

Sorry to bring this thread back on topic, though it's a w/e later, I've been keeping ½ an eye on the weather for the bank holiday w/e and can't make head nor tale of it.

I'm going to be cruising in the Clyde and all them long sea lochs/kyles and such. Is the best policy to see what happens? Getting a trend seems to be beyond the weather forcasters let alone mere mortals.

Any local knowledge/gems welcome.

BTW, I know that if you can't see X from y it's raining, if you can it's about to rain.

Will be doing similar this weekend too. Will be in Kip on Sunday night as my wife doesn't get the holiday monday and it means that she gets Sunday night aboard working as she does in Inverclyde. I get to take the boat home on Monday. Yipee!!

Weather looks up and down , but latest metcheck for Rothesay has wind steadily dropping all weekend.

Donald,

I'm launching on Saturday at Largs. Plan A involved possible visits to Millport or Holy Loch depending on which way the wind is blowing and how much.

Since I will probably be on plan F at least by Sunday, I could be at Kip too. What's your boat called? I'll listen out on VHF.
