You need some wind chill, seriously you need to get out more

I agree but its not just that mate, tide times in Plymouth are 07:40 and 1957 on Saturday so launching/recovery from any of the slips will not be ideal for my timings, its ok for you on Drystack

And anyway, there's a big local derby not far from you, that I'm tempted to take my lad too

Back with the tide maybe but the wind is forecast at 15 to 20 knots on the nose ENE for the return. I went sailing out of Plymouth two weeks ago, same temperatures, only 5 kts and I was bl**dy frozen. If its the same temperature count me out. At my age I need nourishment not punishment, sorry.

Hi all

I have been watching this thread with interest as I was hoping to launch my RIB from Falmouth and travel up to Fowey for the day. Unfortunately I am working Sat and looking at the weather Sat is going to be the best day of the Easter break.
Strong ESE winds on Fri and again on Sun,Mon.
I would say you will have some sun on Sat with the wind backing around to the NNE for a time during the day. In the Sun expect 6-7 degrees if it stays cloudy nearer to 5 degrees you will also have a mod chop and swell away from the coast but it should be sheltered close inshore.
I was Gig rowing in Falmouth bay yesterday and it was interesting at 6 knots.

However if it's horrible then it does become no fun out at sea.

I'm more than happy for a run around the Sound and a burger from Bovi or Captain Jaspers.

Watching the weather intently so I suggest we'll make the call Friday night as to the plan??

All that wind with an 'E' in it will send an 'orrible swell down Channel. Heading East, up Channel out of here would be uncomfortable to say the least.

I was out today in the sound with the MoD police it was really really cold!!!!

Daft as in your mad, not as in your silly to be going out! Hell I know your out in any conditions so a little chill ain't going to stop you but me I'm waiting for the sun and I'm not sure I'm the only one...

You should all take a run up the river Tamar to Calstock (Cornwall). The hilly land should keep the wind off and it will be a smooth journey. It is scenic and there is a pub at the end here you can defrost. There are also some nice places you can open it up. It's a 14 mile journey past the dockyard and warships.

See you in a couple of years time then Pete, global warming should have taken hold by then.

Ian Austin · 27 March 2013, 23:28

Jeff
When was the last time you ventured to Calstock, we had a trip up there last year and there isn't a pub there anymore, had to get bottles from the visitors centre.

Boats&Outboards · 27 March 2013, 23:29

Haha I should be selling the experience shouldn't I really, I will be out in the sound next week for a play around when the kids are off school but not for the day, which if I went on Saturday I'd have no choice what with the tides.

I blame Andy, he picked the day/tides

Pete, why don't you launch early and tie up against mine, then you can go polish the boats in your compound until we are ready to go.

Wouldn't want you getting cold standing around
