Chris Posted August 21, 2010 Author Share Posted August 21, 2010 Hi Wayne I was at WRC around the 8th August I think. Do you keep your boat there? Were you down at Lowestoft for the airshow in Hamilton? Thought I saw you down there with Crackerjack. Its what made me join. Looked like a good bunch of people!

Brian Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Great pictures Chris, Force 7 ! I stay in the house and batten down the windows and doors ! what kind of swell does a force 7 produce out off shore ? 1.5 mtr ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jupes Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Yes we do! When are you planning on heading to OB? We are planning to get the 10:00 Somerleyton Bridge on Firday. We are having a few days child free first (woo hoo) and will arrive at OB on Saturday. So see you there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 Great pictures Chris, Force 7 ! I stay in the house and batten down the windows and doors ! what kind of swell does a force 7 produce out off shore ? 1.5 mtr ? Well in open sea a wind force 7 would throw up 4.0 mtr waves. I would say that day off Yarmouth they were about 2 mtrs. It was a slow ride home!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antares_9 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Thanks for the reminder of Orford Chris, that's exactly how I remember the place, anybody who thinks that's fun has clearly never had a kicking out there, either that or they want their bumps feeling.

senator Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Always fun on the ebb, especially if you can catch a bit of wind against tide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
