Give it chance Terry! It's only just June... though I heard on the grapevine that the jetstream is too far south again, which was the cause of the previous years' bad weather also, so you might be right... but give it a chance!
Have you left the Yealm now?

That's what was said last year too ! We are back in PYh for a bit but hoping to get away in the next day or too . not looking too bad mid to late week ........ For a day or two
To drown our sorrows a load from here spent the evening at the borington . remember Rob from 'M'? He's off to Portugal on Tuesday !! Hope the weather is kind to him !!

Rob as in 70 year old, retired liveaboard Rob?
He's sailing there?!
What a legend!
Evening in the Borington sounds good!! PYH definitely has its good points! I'm missing the whole Sound generally. So many options for all conditions. Especially Cawsand.

Nice one.
If the weather gets better and I can convince myself I've sorted this air problem in the fuel - we'll probs make a Salcombe trip at some point. And if that goes smoothly, who knows...

Steep if you get stuck there for a week! Maybe OK for a one nighter tho, enroute to Falmouth etc.

It's all to do with the Pilot pension fund deficiency ....... Some £180m I believe . all ports have to chip in
