Post by: Pete on August 24, 2012, 04:22:44 PM: Yep - excellent weather - only rained for about an hour and a half one evening. Rest of it glorious sunshine or a little bit of cloud.

Makes a refreshing change...

Currently have friends on a rainy Baltic cruise! Ouch!

Love the boat by the way. Did you get under Potter Heigham Bridge? ;D

I think most of Florida is expecting thunderstorms and torrential rain with high winds over next couple of days as the storm pushes in to Gulf of Mexico.
