Revelstoke - Mevagissey - Falmouth

Forecasts, completely wrong again... How do they do it? Anchored in Mevagissey Bay for the first time, good holding and a quiet night. Plus I introduce round one of the How accurate is the Weather Forecast - Met Office Inshore Forcast vs Predict Wind Game!

Here is SE NSW Australia, I use PW with great success. Our AU met office does a pretty good job on a 3 day wind, wave and weather forecast but PW is better over longer periods. Ironically for you, one of the models PW uses here is the UKMO, and its does a reasonable job of forecasting our weather in this region! The ECMWF model is very good and best for 5-6 days forecasts. Your issues with UKMO in your geographical area are repeated endlessly in many sailing vids. I think you are in one of the most difficult forecasting zones in Europe. Btw, sound issues in this episode, and muffled possibly due to jacket collar blocking voice? Best

I’ll be interested to see how things pan out over the course of the season. I agree though, it probably is a difficult area to forecast for, and the met office do a great job with forecasting weather over land, it’s that 12 miles offshore bit that seems to cause them problems. The sound issues were down to me not paying enough attention to recording speech out of the wind. A small oversight on my part 😂

May the great game commence, and review the tally in September
