Weather not good but good enough
The forecast for tomorrow is not good… F5-6 westerly. But as I am on the east coast, the wind is westerly and there are no dangers between here and Arbroath I am going to go out and see what it is like before I decide. If after a while at sea I believe that it isn’t sensible to continue then I will return to Peterhead otherwise I will continue on to Arbroath where I intend to stay one night before continuing on to Eyemouth.
I will leave as early as I can, after paying my berthing fees when the harbour office opens, so that I can do 6 kts for much of the way to say on fuel if it is rough. I expect I will be underway by 9.30am.
The high pressure that was developing from the south looks set to retreat again and yet more low pressure systems plague the north.
All the best Paul!!! You should have a relatively smooth journey down the way, and you can keep close to shore which may extend the distance of the journey, but should make the sea state easier. Keep a watchful eye on those creel pots etc., close to shore. If it gets poor, you can always divert to Stonehaven which should be OK for you as a bolthole. Nice place to be visiting anyway.
BTW hope the yacht that lost her propeller got the right parts after I dived down to take the measurements for them? … think they were planning to beach her close to high tide today.
Take care and wish you you a safe, eventless journey along the east coast…. oooh, and may the new tempremental mistress (the North Sea) treat you well!
