[tank slapper]

The shipping forecast is nasty tonight. I'm glad I'm on dry land!

Shipping forecast said:

Southwesterly gale force 8 veering northwesterly and increasing violent storm force 11 soon

Shipping forecast 1725 Thu 08 Nov
Wind Northwest storm 10 to violent storm 11, decreasing 6 to gale 8 later.
Sea State Very high, decreasing very rough or high.
Weather Wintry showers.
Visibility Very poor becoming mainly good.

When it says 'decreasing' to very rough you know it's going to be bad.

Looks like it is going to be breezy on Sunday on the Solent - bring it on! I am getting a little bored of racing in 6 - 8 kt breezes & need a blast to blow the cobwebs away!
