Sadly, although the weather looks quite benign this morning, the forecast for this afternoon hasn't improved any overnight, with forecast models predicting gusts between 30 and 33 knots, which I'm afraid to say is the sort of weather where people get hurt and boats get broken.
So, reluctantly, we're cancelling this afternoon sailing session.
Sorry folks.
