6th Annual Nacho Run: 5 Jan 2014

[Trimix]

Simon, thanks for the advice. It would be good to go out with you again for some more pointers / help sometime.

I will keep an eye on the forecast and err on the side of caution.

Cheers.

The long range forecast has been very inconsistent other than indicating a small break at some stage during the weekend 4/5th. Currently Sunday looks to be the best day in the whole period - and with really light wind in comparison to what we have had. The high tide at Lymington today was exceptional and conditions in the spring tide pretty rough. However the 5th is still a way off and I am more confident there will be a short lull around that period.

I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for the lull.

Just sitting in the sunshine on my boat getting it ready for Sunday,wishing it was in the water and not on my drive. Looks like I am going to tow it to Lymington ,what time do people intend to launch and leave Lymington so I can plan my journey down,should take just over two hours.
Hopefully see you all Sunday

I'll be aiming for lym slip for about 11.15 ish on the basis it's a quick blast to yarmouth, but want to make the most so an hour's worth of fun in getting there for 12.30.

[biffer]

Well I've done it, my boats in the water.

Based on looking at the weather forecasting apps / websites and grib files i have decided I'm going to pass on Sundays Nacho run. The lull appears to be coming in earlier than originally predicted so Saturday may be nice, but Sunday afternoon is starting to look very iffy for me in a 4m rib.

Hope you all have a good trip and enjoy the Nachos.

Chris

[biffer]

I'll be out whatever the weather, if I don't do the nacho run I'll still be on the island checking my house out

[Trimix]

I keep looking, but it keeps changing. Looks pants now, so I will decide tomorrow I think. I can always go to the boat show instead.

Launch in Lym - easy hop in company. Failing that come and try the Protector!

[tim griffin]

Got 20 gusting 39 ssw for Sunday
Island shore will give shelter but happy to postpone

[matt h]

thats a good enough reason to postpone

[Andre]

There are a number of small ribs on the list and for their sake I am of the opinion the Nacho run should be postponed to the first Sunday of fair weather.

I will be out this Sunday anyway providing no rain. The wind does not bother me.
If the nacho run is postponed then lunch at the Folly on Sunday

[PeterM]

I'm lucky enough to be able to make a very late call...takes me an hour from decision to pulling away from lym slip....

Andre, thanks for making my mind up for me, just looked at XC weather and with gusts in the 40mph+ region i am going to bow out for a safer more settled weather window.

I will be down at the slip about 10.00 Peter - if you are there and decide to launch I will keep you company. The weather predictions do not look that good again - but my boat is all up together and pretty capable in most conditions in the Solent.

This weather is such a pain - it is pretty difficult to predict any breaks - today for example was far better than any forecast - so hoping for some sort of a break on Sunday.

[gooner-paul]

I think I will be pulling out aswell unless those winds seriously drop..

[Low Flyer]

Think I will call time too,bashing up from Portsmouth May be a little too much for us for lunch.If Re scheduled we will keep eye on posts.

[matt h]

I will be launchin on Sunday.. Lymington is favourite as need a pontoon for adjustments n shit!

[chris.moody]

If the smaller ribs want to try for a run to Yarmouth the following Sunday, the 12th, I am up for it in my SR4 weather permitting.
