Sunday 14th
I am thinking of going to Axbridge this Sunday if it is not raining and if I am allowed in to sail there. I understand that I will have to pay £20 for a day guest this year. I do not want to drive to Portland when it is still cold and I will only probably sail for a couple of hours at best. Also there is the hot shower afterwards at Axbridge.

I might join you - the wind's supposed to be around 17kts from 10:00 to 13:00 and i've never sailed there.
I might have to enquire as to whether i can enact a student (£14) membership between now and tomorrow.
Keep me posted.
Cheers

Hi Bob
Looking unlikely now i'm afraid as i was hoping to source a powerbox bolt from Windsurfer's World but they're out of stock, so without going to another windsurfing shop (and the closest i know of is near Portland!) i'm a no go i'm afraid.
Still, i'll be sure to get my membership sorted for Axbridge so's i can come along next time.

Re: Sunday 14th
There's a Laser National event on at Axbridge this Saturday and Sunday as I found out when I went today. There's rather a lot of them. So if you're going to go aim to ready to sail at about 12:30 - 13:00 when they come in for lunch. Although it may be easier if the winds onshore and you won't need to sail through the course.

No matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of beers.

I'm thinking of having a look at Berrow in the morning as it's supposed to be better than WSM in a Southerly. High tide around 10am so will probably sail it on the drop, weather permitting. Don't fancy the long drive to Portland.
Should've been here yesterday.
Re: Sunday 14th
Is anyone going to Portland tomorrow 14 Apr? The wind looks mainly southerly but looks good. Alternatively I might go to Poole.

Hi Simon
I'm not aware of anyone going to Portland tomorrow. There does appear to be decent wind - however the last time I sailed in a strong and gusty southerly there I did find it fairly challenging, so it's not my favourite direction !!
Hope all those venturing out tomorrow have a good sail.

Re: Sunday 14th
Given the Laser event, I think I will give it a miss as I am struggling to motivate myself this morning. I am a warm weather sailor really.
