All change yet again
The wind is blowing an absolute hoolie here in Hartlepool and is showing no sign of relenting. I have spoken to some of the lifeboat crew and I have decided to leave it at least until Tuesday before departing.
Today there was a sizable swell… probably 2-3m. The wind is NW’ly but is forecast to go round westerly again either Tuesday or Wednesday.
I wouldn’t be too surprised if I have to push it back to Wednesday so don’t be too surprised either please. This is all I can do… I go with what I have and what the forecasts suggests and make my decisions accordingly but both change hourly and so I have to change those decisions accordingly. I realise that it looks like it is chopping and changing but it really isn’t… I am doing nothing more than the forecasters…. changing my plans based on the weather as it and the forecasts change! Sorry again but believe me, no one is more put out than me!

Oh Dear! I maybe shouldn’t have sent Gayle to meet you - either that or named her Dawn or Sunshine. LOL. The winds up here are really fearsome. Birch trees are at 45deg. and the birds are being blown all over the place. Sun is shining but it isn’t warm at all. In fact since you left Peterhead it hasn’t been too good at all. You really did score the few days you were at the marina - and left at the best time. Forecast isn’t looking too good either but as you know, these boffins often get it wrong.
I think the weather fairy has gone on holiday and forgotten to leave instructions.
Hang on to your hat and sit it out!
