Yep thankfully!...got a double Battery set up on the Tow Car ( Toyota Landcruiser) and thought I had a drain...Two New H.D Batteries sorted it though
I was hoping to do a Two/Three day trip with some fishing (sleeping on the Boat) from West Bay ...so would really prefer some decent settled weather....after all the Trully Great conditions we've had for weeks!!....we'll see.
All GO for you Guys?

Dan at Lewis Marine tells me my RIB will be launched this afternoon or tomorrow, much tighter than I would have hoped but looking good!

Windifinder forecast is not great, NW building through the day.

Morning

The rain has left us, the wind has dropped and pasties are booked - pure bliss.

Should it be too lumpy for the lighthouse we'll invoke;

Plan B, which is a run around the coast to Fowey.
Plan C which is a run around the coast to Salcombe,
or plan D a run around Whitsound bay, a trip to Captain Jaspers and a snoop around the navel dock yard

Either way we're going out to play!

At the moment the better forecast is to the East of Plymouth.

Good luck, and whatever plan you adopt enjoy.

Can't find engine fault - more importantly nor can MHB10, so will need to take trailer down, recover & leave with local service agent to sort another day gone).

Will have making up to do do once back at full power

The 8th Annual Pasty run

My gaff faces Whitsand Bay / Eddy - looks like perfect conditions out there today (now I know today is the right day)

Hope to see you all soon
