Solent 5/6 April?

PeterM · 31 March 2014, 20:37

Who's out? From where?

I'm thinking Calshot or Lymington....

If the weather holds as ok....it's not like I'd go rti.....;-)

Wibs · 31 March 2014, 20:39

Yep...I'm in.

Think Chris Moody is also about.?

Maybe Bingosucks if things work out.?

I'd pref Calshot as I launch from Warsash.? Did you have anything in mind.?

Wibs · 31 March 2014, 20:43

I've got a new prop to test...

A higher pitch, so hopefully a little more top end.

Won't be able to tow anything.....like say.....a banana boat.?

PeterM · 31 March 2014, 20:43

Calshot works...

My plan is go out take some pics and send them to Matth as he's boat less..............

No plan...go some place for lunch and come back..as complex as I get at the moment.

Wibs · 31 March 2014, 20:47

Works for me.....as I have a GoPro to test as well...

I'll monitor weather and thread.

I'll be out Peter but down Lymington end. The big boat is in Yarmouth now so will be there at some stage. May also go up to Cowes if the weather is good. The tides have been big so going up to Hamble last week end was hard work in a modest wind against tide. Have you seen the new exclusion zones around Cowes by the way? Worth a look at the Cowes website.

So which day..... 5th or 6th??

If it's 5th I'm up for a launch from Calshot......

chris.moody · 01 April 2014, 19:03

Weather is looking better for Sat the 5th

London_RIB · 01 April 2014, 20:02

Whereabouts are you guys are meeting? I'm starting quite early in the morning so can join you wherever you are launching from (in the water)

I'm launching from Calshot

Wibs · 01 April 2014, 20:47

Beautiful day today.....but very foggy on coast.

Sat does look the better day.

I'm launching from Warsash, dunno about times yet, I've got 8.51am for LW 17.23 HW.

Can you launch from Calshot at all states.?

gooner-paul · 01 April 2014, 20:49

Might be about for the first run in a while. Depends on how things go at home on Thursday / Friday going to be a last minute thing

Would launch at lymington if joining

I think LW springs needs to be avoided, but it is springs today the 1st and neaps on the 9th, so should be fine on Sat even at LW.

Sat weather looking less than nice ....rain ..and 30knts in to rain is no fun .

I'm watching the forecast.

Me too..... Not looking great at the moment :-(

Clearly the forecasters are having great problems with this weekend...

I'm meant to be taking my RIB from Poole -> Portsmouth on Saturday, and then back to Poole on Monday, as I'm teaching Sea Cadets over on Whale Island for a couple of days.

Last night, the Solent/Portsmouth forecast for Sun/Mon was showing very strong winds, gusts up to 35kn. Lunchtime today, they predict a steady F3/4. This evening, they are back to strong gusts of up to 33kn!
