Weather Update from the Forth

Awoke this morning to the sound of hail driven horizontally against our windows and a virtual whiteout. I would not have ventured to the end of the drive let alone out onto the beach. The precipitation has now stopped for a while and I am enjoying siting here (inside) in a patch of bright sunshine but the river is still being whipped into fierce white horses by the breeze of around 25 knots and from the two heavily reefed keelboats that just battered their way past through some "right over the top" waves, I think that Largo made a very wise call.

Well done guys, see you later in the spring for our traveller event which I am very much looking forward to already.

Largo lost to continuing adverse weather!

Sorry folks - Largo Bay have had to cancel their new Year Regatta planned for Saturday 2nd January due to the forecast high winds and consequent double digit minus wind chill temperatures expected.
