Looks nice our season's started too, but we've got 2 metre waves and it snowed today.
Maybe next week.

Beautiful pic. I take it the water must be warm enough to swim to your boat. I will never take for granted that when you live in Texas boating season starts when you buy your boat and only ends when you sell it. However Its only been 4weeks now that I saw my first bikini sighting of the new year.

Looks nice Antonio.

The unpredictable UK weather at this time of year makes it hard to plan on getting out. Tide is right for me tomorrow and 10 days ago weather looked promising so the Mrs booked time off work and we left the day free. Then 4 days ago the weather looked terrible so she cancelled he day off and we arranged other things for tomorrow.

Now the forecast has changed to give tomorrow as mostly sun with no rain until after dark and light winds... but we can't go!

Hi BB, if the weather doesn't improve soon, I may be following you.

Though Seaweed's changed its forecast again.
