Andy135 Posted February 17, 2022 Author Share Posted February 17, 2022 You can laugh it up about me, but I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that @Scotch_Egg2012's boat comes out unscathed... she's on the very top rack, right in the peak air flow! 😬🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Eerily quite here in Poole at the moment but winds forecast to start increasing at around 1am getting up to 93 mph for 9am tomorrow. I will be going down to Cobbs Quay at some point tomorrow to check my boat, what I find will determine whether I have coffee or something stronger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPSguru Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 (edited) Hmmm, The MetO are backing down at bit and the max wind here is forecast 57mph @9:00am, however, XC weather are continuing to forecast 78mph @9:00, the difference in the two forecasts is storm force 10 or hurricane force 12 ! The track of the low has altered slightly by going further North which means that the Bristol Channel & North Devon will get a battering. Lots of boats sheltering in Lyme Bay as it is sheltered to the west / SW, it is east or NE that gives us extreme storm conditions, however, I wouldn't want to be fishing on Exmouth or Chesil beach's tonight as they both face SW. The most accurate forecast is normally 'TWO' (The weather Oulook) and this again is 79mph at 9-12 My boat is tucked up in the driveway, and sheltered from the S/SW by the garage........

Hopefully you'll have nothing to report (and nothing to drink either!). They've just upped the forecast here by 3 to 76mph. Hope they don't increase it any further 😬🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, at least no one could accuse the Met Office and partners of doing a "Michael Fish" again this time. Hopefully we're getting a worst case forecast and the actual wind speeds tomorrow will be lower. GPSguru 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Quite windy here but not constant getting the odd gust which looks fairly strong. Forecast for here has also increased, now giving 97mph by 9am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike farrants Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 its a bit Mork here......... all i can hear is the shingle getting slammed - and i'm over a mile away from chesil - but the noise from it is something else - its like having a motorway nearby - a constant rumble, will be interest into see the aftermatch over at portland/chesil cove - the poor houses there will be being pelted with stones and debris - and the stones are BIG at the portland end! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintly Fish Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Ive just been down the marina. I can't believe nobody is out working on their boats! Pussies. Nice to see the yard boys have added some straps though.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up this way we've already had a couple of trees down in the village, and the worst is yet to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
