HEADS-UP - DON'T LIKE THIS ONE - WINDS SAT PM/EVENING

[weatherman]

Good morning,

I have a concern over an area of strong winds which could affect southwest England and the western Channel this afternoon/evening.

Normally SWIS Musings are available only to SWIS Gold and Silver members, but because of the safety implications, myself and Captain John thought it right that this one should be free and available to all for the widest possible distribution.

To read it SWIS members can logon to your SWIS account at www.SailingWeather.co.uk and read under 'Videos and Musings'. Or I have uploaded it here http://www.weatherweb.net/Musing180611.pdf

PLEASE FORWARD THIS MESSAGE TO ANY COLLEAGUE, FRIEND, CLUB OR MARINA WHO MAY BE INTERESTED.

Best wishes and fair winds,
Simon
