It's been a while - but I'm planning on being on the water this Sunday - Starting from SDS - possibly / probably heading for Yarmouth for the 1st time this year!. Anyone else out?

Hi Trevor , long time not seen. I am going out tomorrow as I cannot do Sunday. My second outing this year hard to believe

If you get to Yarmouth let me know if anything's changed (ie procedures and rules in the harbour). I've not tried stopping anywhere short stay for lunch since before Xmas!

We are going to have a picnic lunch possibly Newtown Creek

Check Yarmouth, the Harbour was closed when I went there two weeks ago.

The guidance changed on 12th April. I believe they are now open for short stays. They have quite a good guide on their website.

Hi Lee still to early for the full trimmings lunch[emoji16][emoji16]
We decided to give Newtown Creek a miss today and headed up the Hamble instead

As for a southern trip then but June the earliest[emoji106]
I will WhatsApp’s you when we head for Yarmouth

We headed towards Cowes from SDS but somewhere north of Bramble Bank, my six year old decided that being hit in the face by lumps of Solent was no longer fun so we turned round and headed back in.

I'd hoped an easterly wind and a west going tide would have avoided the worst of the chop but it was pretty bumpy and wet.

Nothing broke, the suspension seats were brilliant and I retrieved a hat so it wasn't entirely a spoiled day.

Thanks Guys - sounds like I should pack the geckos and waterproofs for tomorrow.

Based on yesterday at Yarmouth I’d say that for the wind conditions it’s relatively OK.
But given it’s quite windy, and certainly still lumpy, you will get wet.

Hi Trevor
Just looked you up on Marine Traffic and see that you made it to Yarmouth. Well done!
How was it?

It was surprisingly OK - not too choppy, empty in Yarmouth and nice and warm and sunny picnicking by the old railway next to the "off the rails" restaurant.
