UPDATE 4 MAY 2019 'E' ADDED AGAINST BOAT REQUIRING HOOK UP

by **F23 flittermouse - RIP** Sat May 04, 2019 5:21 pm

I have added 'E' against those I believe want an electric hook up in the previous posting.

Don't get too concerned if you require leccy and not marked, as electrical hook ups are not so much a problem as side on moorings ! As long as people remember....

1. Bollards may need to be shared, if you have a splitter please bring it.
2. Maximum ampage at each bollard is 8A or 10A IRC, so high wattage appliances are a no no if you want to be sociable !!

You will pay the mooring fee including the electricity surcharge (if required) on the weekend to the Harbour Master yourself.
I do not pay a block booking, only reserve a Freeman group reservation !!

This is the weather forecast for Beccles for the days of the meet, looking promising

Monday 20 May—Sunday 2 June

Pressure building and temperatures rising

Although the final third of May could begin with weak areas of low pressure remaining close to the UK, perhaps bringing some wet weather for a time, we anticipate high pressure to build across central and northern Europe, to the east of the UK. This gives an increased chance of some widespread and sustained warm weather developing, with winds potentially wafting up from the south-east.
High pressure should remain close enough to maintain largely dry and calm conditions across most of the country, although fronts edging in from the west could stall over Ireland and western Britain, giving some more widespread rain and perhaps one or two windier days here. Otherwise, it seems that many areas can expect a good deal of fine and sunny weather, although it may become warm enough to trigger one or two afternoon heavy and thundery downpours for southern and central areas. However, these won't provide any meaningful rain in what looks to be a rather dry end to the month

by Minerva Sun May 05, 2019 6:00 pm

It rained some on you last year didn't it derek?

by Poachermas Mon May 06, 2019 3:14 pm

From memory,heavy shower I think Sun evening,poor Pat/Ray got wet collecting fish and chip suppers for everyone,other than that I remember it as a lovely weekend
Marek

by **F23 flittermouse - RIP** Mon May 06, 2019 11:50 pm

Sorry Rupert but my powers over the weather god do not extend to full control. sunny

But as Marek said it certainly didn't spoil the weekend, just fish and chips were consumed on the boats , but normal service was resumed an hour or so later !

by **Prof Pat Pending** Tue May 07, 2019 7:48 am

It wasn’t bad at all, if that’s all we get this year, we’ll be more than happy.

I think we managed to keep the fish & chips dry Smile

That looks great Derek Smile

Anne arrived on the Broads today, can’t wait to join her.
I won’t do a Deano style follow my trip to the Broads, wouldn’t want the authorities to see how keen I am to get there Wink

by **Prof Pat Pending** Mon May 27, 2019 9:54 pm

What a great weekend, well done Derek Very Happy

We had quite an exciting trip down, with one boat losing power on Breydon. It was retrieved from the mud bank and repaired whilst under tow

That’s brilliant Pat. You were lucky it was so calm there. On the IOW Solent stretch it was really quite rough yesterday. Great photos!

by **Prof Pat Pending** Tue May 28, 2019 9:25 pm

It was brilliant Very Happy

We went round for a view of both beaches, the water was amazingly calm.
If it’s reasonable next year, we’re skipping the Breydon crossing and going round the outside
