Trip cancelled. No experienced crewman. Deteriorating weather conditions
Do XC do weather forecasting or just make it up?
When I proposed a trip for next Saturday the forecast was 6mph - 8mph N/NNW. That has now changed to 18mph - 29mph N/NE I am beginning to think they pin all the possible weather scenarios on the door & somebody is blindfolded & given a dart to throw!
I was hoping to take the Belle and crew out fishing today, but we could have a problem getting an experienced crewman, Allan is away, Nigel is ill, and Phil Cryer is unavailable. so at present we are short of a crewman, I will ask Richie if he is available. Forecast is ok (at present) LW is at 0915 so board at 0730 for 0800 lock. If no crewman I will have to cancel the trip (which may happen anyway) the XC forecast has changed for the worse but BBC is still forecasting acceptable, but without a crew it is irrelevant.
