Will We or Wont We?

With the bank holiday weekend drawing ever closer the question on our lips is will we or wont we?

The intention for the weekend had been to head off on friday evening after work with the intention of making it to Bardney Village moorings where our trusty friends would be waiting for us after having reset the locks in our favour. The plan was then to reach Boston on saturday afternoon after a steady jaunt down the Witham and a stop off at the Packet Inn en route. The intention for Sunday had been to head off across the Wash and into Wells next the Sea for the evening before heading back on Monday and reaching our home mooring on Tuesday.

Well the weather isnt playing into our hands at all. The current forecast is for sunshine and showers which on its own wouldnt be too bad. However the wave forecasts are for 1.5m waves at 5 second intervals on Sunday and 3.5-4.0m waves at 5 second intervals on Monday, with the forecasts worsening by the hour. This has put a bit of a dampener on our plans as with the best will in the world none of the boats or crews can cope with the conditions expected on Monday.

We still have a few options avaliable though. We can head out on Sunday and play around in the Wash then head back into Boston on either a 4 hour or 8 hour tide.

We shall see. So will we or wont we?
