Solent today....

by Ianfs » 03 Jul 2016, 22:06

I took a couple of shots whilst having a cup of tea with Laura and her Dad at the local café on the cliff edge. A little choppy with a slight Sow easterly breeze.

Looks OK to me. The forecast was a bit blustery but I think they got it wrong again. A bit better than Saturday when I was at a garden party all afternoon and evening :shock: :shock:

I expected it to be choppier than that Ian, seems your method of wether forecasting is more accurate, could you post pictures everyday for us, let's say every 3 hours? :mrgreen:
