My records show that the weather was F5-F6 (small craft Warning in place). The sea was very rough, HW was at 10:51 hrs ht 3.7m, LW at 16:48 hrs at 1.5m.
My total fuel load was 116lt plus cox of 90kg. Prop 13*17. There were two rebays, 1 osprey, 1 SR5.4 and a white rib (unknown to me what type.)

This was the day that the gear shift cables failed on my boat. It was some of the best and worst boating days I have had to date.
