Ah just pile in and get it done.

I'm watching the weather, looks nice and sunny but it's a bit blowy out there at the moment. Probably still worth a run out for the sake of it regardless even if it's just round to the Hamble for a beer :D

Get her ready and go for it Betty!!
I'm keeping an eye on Saturday as can't do Sunday, fingers crossed!
I was out last night and first thing this morning in the work RIB from Portsmouth to cowes and have to say, it was pretty bumpy, not so bad this morning but last night the wind over tide really chopped it up with a fair swell rolling!

If anything we'll be out Saturday. Hope it's not like last year where, if we did get any nice weather, it was too windy to enjoy it.

Met office as at now

Outlook for the following 24 hours:
Wind
East 3 or 4, occasionally 5 near headlands.
Sea state
Slight, occasionally moderate near headlands.
Weather
Thundery showers.
Visibility
Moderate or good.

all agreed, just looked at the weather and its been down graded from sunny and warm to thunder n rain showers on Sunday - very bizarre how it can change so soon. Wont be a coastal run with that wind but fingers crossed for a river outing may be.
