CRANING OUT POSTPONED! Craning out was planned to take place tomorrow, Saturday 7th October. Owing to high winds forecast for tomorrow, craning out has been postponed until Monday 9th October.
There was plenty of wind for our sailing trip to Piel Island this weekend. Saturday saw 20 knots, and that was just in the river! Varied conditions encountered on the way across, including SE and SW winds, usually 15 - 20 knots, but also spells of little wind which made things challenging with a fast springs ebb tide. Also some showers and thunder. The boats from Wardleys at Piel Island were Kjersti, Jamila, Rivendel, Kyle 2, Janvier Six and Moonshine. Coming back on Sunday I encountered a wind gust of 33 knots off Walney Island, but we mostly had 15 - 20 knots North-Westerly, which gave a fast trip back under sail!
