All racing was postponed today due to the nasty sea state. Wind against current along with leftover waves from the gale yesterday. Winds were 22 - 25 with gusts to 30, which in an of itself is not so bad, but combined with the sea state made it impossible to get any races in. The RC boat reported taking waves over their bow while at anchor, and that is a pretty big boat.
Tomorrow and Friday look like 15 with Saturday dropping even lighter. Then Sunday, perhaps another day of big breeze.
Had a great Ploughman's lunch at the Maypole on Hayling Island, along with a couple pints of Seafarer's Ale. Nice to have a proper English Pub lunch. Check back tomorrow hopefully for some sailing reports.
