Thats gloating that is! 
For us a millpond is anything less than a F7. 
I bet we have better overfalls though.

I know so haha
A couple of years ago I trailered up to Cherbourg and sailed across in a Zod Pro 4.2m A fairly hectic (but very well planned ) trip ensued, with only a couple of things falling off!
With the Vipermax though I imagine it'll be a bit more of a regular occurrence!!

I was right, dammit, the weather for Tuesday has gone all wobbly.
Still, I did take a screen grab.

Now it's showing a wave height of 0.0 for Wednesday pm despite the wind speed being 23 knots? Go figure!

Perhaps their waveheight meter is at the top of a beach somewhere, and when the tide's out it doesn't give a reading

Savour that screen shot. You're unlikely to see those colours on windfinder again for a little while.

Yeah, that normally keeps out the riff-raff

Trouble is, once in the riffs and the raffs are stuck!

Trumphunter are now giving F2 and F4 for monday, but my own interpretation of the pressure systems is less optimistic. 
I should have been taking the RIB to Jersey today, but I think I shall catch the metal bird instead.

I would have suggested meeting up in Sark, but the forecast is not looking too great any more.

It does look very promising. I have some work to do in St H at some point, unusual to have a choice of days.
