Don't worry Martin I won't publicly blame you if it all goes wrong [emoji1787]!!!! (Much!). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For a more comfortable ride you might want to give the Christchurch Ledge a wide berth, subject to wind and tide.

Hello all, It's been a while since I popped in. Not been popping anywhere to do with boats and fishing much this year. But, out tomorrow with a free pass for all day. So I'm thinking of heading your way. But how are conditions usually in the Poole patch with ENE winds of around 12-15mph? I don't want to come all that way only to pass the Needles and find it's too lumpy. Any opinions welcomed! Cheers Neil Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'd stop at Southbourne Rough, maybe not bother with the patch. Even try deep water end of ledge R

Neil it's your call, don't go putting it on me but that's just the way I read it. Take care and stay safe Martin

As a comparison I would have no qualms going to sea in a F4 in Madness. I would probably be doing 18knots coming to Poole and 13/14 knots going back your way

Hi Neil Coming this way you will be with the conditions and should be ok, fishing should be ok also 12-15mph in your boat should be fine but going home you will be against the elements. It shouldn't be stupidly rough but will be dependant on whether the tide will be against the wind going home.
