FOR F*CKS SAKE.
Yet another cracking forecast that didn't deliver. Solid predictions for
proper wind all day, on my day off, with midday low tides, all good. But
yet again it didn't happen. Woke up to misty foggy murk and feck all wind.
Still hadn't picked up by midday. Even more annoyingly had been windy all
day west of selsey bill so decided to drive to witterings. Should have done
that straight away - hindsight is a wonderful thing.
But as was driving past the Shoreham turn off on the A27 noticed it was
clearing up and WAP now said 20mph+ at the 'ham. So there I went. 2 people
out on 5.7s planing solidly when I arrived, but just as was going
out...wind died. Planed once for 50m on the way back in. grrrrr.
Should have gone to hayling first thing...but this winter has been so shit
i'm really beyond caring. At least this is happening in the winter -
sailing would never have been all that pleasant today even if it was windy
- air temps still sub 10 degs and the water was bloody freezing.
Gonna stop getting over-excited by promising forecasts until when it
properly starts warming up. Snowboarding next weekend and end of the footy
season will keep me going in the meantime.
