riyadhcrew Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 That equates to an average speed of 6.96 mph. (47 divided by 6.75) That is very good going in anybody's book. Well done Griff and BA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That puts the average speed up quite a bit for the remainder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadAmbition Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 It commenced heavy rain last night at 2100. Up at 0600 and it is still persisting it down. This is awkward as I intend to sail at around 0730 but the dressing lines are still up a (along with the led string) so they are of course v. wet so can't really stow em inboard well I never did, whilst typing this post it has just stopped To improve matters MrsG is vertical, kettle on, bacon rolls on the way too I hope Oh 'bother' spoke too soon, rain back on.

LondonRascal Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Hope the day got better for you and the rain has stopped (should not trouble you again today) You will be pleased to note tomorrow might get up to 26c - no rain and lighter winds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 Met BH at Reedham, spent 4 x hrs in the ship inn as the Nelson is NOT open. Then Loddon for overnight, dinner in t white horse. Sailed this morning against tide for Acle bridge inn. 2000rpm is normally 7mph but today 6mph. 1245 - Not quite at the yacht station as only 6ft2" under bridges and getting less by the minute so we are on the lay-by pontoon 100yds downriver of Breydon lifting bridge. We will wait for tide to turn and give us 6ft4" minimum. Sun is blazing, bonded locker is open. Perfect and today is my B'day too!
