They're great at man overboard, after all they are "retrievers"!

Yerr, telling me. He certainly ain't daft, he runs rings around me, but that's not much of a challenge tbh.
He can out snore, out fart, out eat me AND lick his ba115 (or at least where they used to be), though I'm sure he'd let me if I gave him a biscuit

[Pikey Dave]

Forecast has gone from very poor vis but dry, to very good vis & weather warnings for heavy rain, give me strength. Still no wind though

[kerny]

I prefer Silverfoxe's weather reports thank you Pikey.

[Silverfox]

I think the problem for the forecasters is demonstrated by the Atlantic Pressure Chart:

Noon Saturday is T+60, and this shows an Occluded front right on our course across.

One side will be OK, the other cloudy and wet!

Met Office: Surface pressure forecast

Occluded front (or 'occlusion')

Occlusions form when the cold front of a depression catches up with the warm front, lifting the warm air between the fronts into a narrow wedge above the surface. Occluded fronts bring cloud and precipitation.

So, I guess we'll get what we get

[kerny]

Thundery bursts as well. Due to the height of Pikey's comms stack I would give him a wide berth.

oping to make it there for the start on sat to get some pics of you all crossing caenarfon bar on the wayout, and opefully same on the way back on sunday

Doesn't matter what weather site I look at for your cruise area I'm afraid it looks wet, but some sun and little wind. But ha its summertime you can't have evertyhing. For me the one aspect I like is little wind i'm sure you can put up with a little water enrouts. Just think of the Dark stuff and I don't mean the Wolverine TT

[HUMBER P4VWL]

loving the black lab pic.

So half way we have to switch from ale and fruit cake to Guiness and potato cake?

Looking forward to it guys, see you there early doors sat. Be interesting to see how this Ribquest and overstroked suzuki work together!

Plus finally putting a face to willk's name!

My drysuit as been in an out the bag all week, this weather forecasting stuff is a waste of time.

[kerny]
