Perhaps we should move to the second Sunday in 2106 otherwise we do not get the numbers

Will the weather be better?

Yarmouth Harbour authorities advised of up to thirty boats on Sunday and they are happy to receive us. Pub also warned of between nil and sixty persons for whom they are happy to reserve places but need to know final numbers on Saturday. Today's forecast for Sunday is better than yesterday's (wind speed down by 10mph so that it more or less matches Tuesday's weather when I made the same return crossing). Let us see what develops.....

In the meantime, here's a revised List of Participants. As before let me know of any errors or changes needed. Here's hoping for Sunday!

Checking the weather forecast Sunday 10th January looks good. I am in favour of changing the date due to the very bad weather conditions this Sunday coming.

Anyone else in favour of this change

I think this is a sensible decision considering the forecast for this weekend.

As I only need to do the short crossing from Lymington to Yarmouth, and having experienced the Solent in most of its moods, I am confident that I could make it across in the conditions forecast. Would I want to, some and some Would my passengers want to, definitely not.
I have had some very pleasant meetings in that walled garden, but of course we would have to be inside given the forecast. Good, but maybe not quite as good as the outside option?
Will the forecast conditions put off some potential attendees? I would be very surprised if it did not.
So while the forecasts of late have been less than spot on, and the 10th allows plenty of time for the forecast to do a 180, on balance, my vote would be a change of date to Jan 10th.

I'm not sure that I can 'cancel' an event for which attendance is the responsibility of each individual skipper. However, although the wind here in Bournemouth is currently down to around 15mph, the forecast for Yarmouth tomorrow lunchtime shows rain of up to 4mm an hour with wind of 29mph and gusts up to 44mph (gale force 8). With a predicted sea state of 'moderate becoming rough', that is not really leisure boating weather so I will be 'phoning The Wheatsheaf in due course to cancel all reservations and contacting the harbour authorities to advise appropriately.

That said, there is no reason why any intrepid souls cannot still make the trip and, if they require reserved tables, make arrangements directly with the pub. Mrs A and I will be liaising with Matt H with a view to sticking our noses out of the harbour tomorrow with the possibility of still making the crossing if it feels right.

I will start a new separate thread later today for a rescheduled trip next Sunday.

Incidentally, it may be of interest to learn that Kathryn and Shaun (who have owned The Wheatsheaf for nearly the last seven years) have recently also purchased the closed Kings Head which they reopened for drinks just before Christmas and where the kitchen is being refurbished and will reopening in the near future.

Good call. Just logged in to post that I won't be making the trip down. Prefer to save the launch and fuel tokens for a nicer day.
Next weekend also not looking great last time I checked. Is it worth considering following Sunday?

Rain is "now tapering" off , however as noted before, wind is still 5-6 (gusts of more). Though we do have wind with tide for most of the window. (for those commuting on the the solent).


For me its 50:50 from the point of enjoying the run, i am sure the run can be completed safely, its how much fun you have in the process, that depends on you, your crew the boat and how good your waterproofs are

Last week we ran down southampton water, made the dash across to cowes and used the north shore of the island for shelter, that was fine even wind against tide on springs.

I'll make a decision in the morning , lets hope for a favourable shift
