We're now Pagans!


Erbas has now been sold and we've moved onwards and upwards to a Westerly 33 ketch we've renamed "Pagan"

It must be time to go sailing ...

Because the weather forecast is looking rubbish!

It's looking increasingly likely that the weekend will be wall to wall low pressure systems with strong breezes and gale force gusts

It continues to look iffy into Monday on most forecast sources and even Tuesday could be a non-starter

F4 is OK, F5 I could live with. Even F6 would be a "go if we must " but when we start setting predictions of F7 or F8, even if that is in the gusts, I start passage planning to the nearest bar... and I don't mean the sort of bar you get at the entrance to rivers and estuaries, I mean the sort that sells beer

If it wasn't for the East Coast Forum fitting up supper in Burnham on Saturday night, I'd probably not bother travelling down until Sunday, as it is I'm thinking of driving down in Saturday morning rather than Friday afternoon

I think we're going to be looking at North Norfolk for the middle weekend at best, and it could easily be Southwold or even further south. Any hope of making it to Yorkshire goes straight out of the window if we're stuck in the Crouch beyond this weekend

Hey ho, the one thing you can't plan is the weather!
