thinking of getting the boat out for a run tomorrow and lunch on the island somewhere.

anyone else out and about? will be the first time out for a while so happy to have some company around

I'm hoping to be out, although he weather isn't looking too good: heavy rain forecast for the afternoon. I'd be up for an early lunch somewhere though to try and get back ahead of the rain. Have you anywhere in mind?

Hi David, heavy rain in the afternoon changes plans, that was not forecast this morning. It's getting too expensive to come down and get rained off... off to Essex boat jumble instead I think.
next time maybe, hope all is good
cheers
