Saturday 7th June 08:00 Excursion Row to Emsworth

[Dave M]

The forecast for this weekend is not great with the wind increasing towards the middle of each day before falling. However, the forecast currently shows both days as being OK for rowing first thing. Saturday morning has a chance of some light rain showers, but we have plumped for that day as the average wind speed is lower and leaves the Sunday as a contingency day.

As we have recently enjoyed seeing the Menhirs at Carnac, we will continue our prehistoric theme with a visit to Flintstones for refreshments; we were reminded of the club's favourite Emsworth destination after our Morbihan row to Larmor-Baden, as most of the local community running the food and drink stalls were in Flintstones style fancy dress (I assume more in homage to the megalithic stones as opposed to the TV series).

High tide (a measly 3.69m) is at 09:58 on Saturday so we will meet at 08:00. We will aim to row up to Marker before heading down to Emsworth.

Please sign up if interested.

The weather forecast for tomorrow morning has improved significantly from yesterday so we should be able to go ahead. I would recommend bringing some waterproofs. Row will be as per previous but we will aim for a relatively quick turnaround at Emsworth to try and get back before any rain comes and the wind starts increasing.

Please check the forum before leaving just in case the forecast takes a turn for the worse.

Nigel - we will aim to be back well before 12:00.

Gill - sorry that you can no longer make it. I was looking forward to your race coxing.

Still plenty of space for others on this row.
