http://www.metcheck.com says there'll be 25mph of northerly wind on Saturday. It's time to remember how to put two reefs in a mainsail!

After that, it thankflly looks to calm down a bit.

I'm sure someone could set a script running to continually post to it automatically during that time.

Alternatively, find somebody with an iphone.

I don't expect Jez will like to use his connection bandwidth to mess around on the Forum.

As for wind, other websites say just 8mph of wind (NNW), so we'll have to see what we get when we are at the boatyards, but it may mean the Martham boats have a nice sail down to Thurne

NNW sounds about right, unlike last year's headwind that made our javelin so slow we had to be towed!

Strange.

So pretty much, the weather people don't know what's going to happen, so look out of the window as you arrive and decide whether waterproofs and reefing is needed!
