Between the Scandinavian depression heading off to the east, and the depression forming somewhere off Ireland, Saturday might be quite a nice day with perfectly sensible winds up until late morning on Sunday. So if we left on the 2am tide tonight (i.e. Saturday morning) everything might be fine. On Sunday it's due to be F6 again, and of course it might arrive early.
Also, the waves - following yesterday's wind, there's currently about 2m waves in the southern N Sea, which has the potential to be extremely uncomfortable.
Anyway we are chickening out again and waiting to see what Monday brings. But we will go for a day sail tomorrow. Then perhaps Sam and Ben might really believe we are going, and start packing - so far I'm the only one who has put a few things in a heap, and even my heap isn't that convincing.
Kalessin of Orwell is a 33ft Westerly Storm. In 2006-8 we sailed her down to Portugal, into the Med, and home through the French canals. In 2011 we explored Baltic Germany and Denmark. After Sam's stroke we cruised gently on the East Coast, the Netherlands and Brittany, and in 2021 sailed to Cornwall and back. In 2024, following Sam's death, Camilla plans a memorial round-Britain cruise
