Yup, its a bit windy. Ive just picked my boat up from having the engines serviced in Aldershot and driven up the A34. It was a little interesting

Ive decided not to put the cover on till the morning - its blowing so hard now I reckon it would take off.

Windy on the Quomps in Christchurch tonight. Wind blowing spray and scum across the path and still the dog decided to go for a swim!

Same here...the covers (tarp) is still on the sr, however the fence panel next to it is making a break for freedom.

Should be good waves out there!
