yep you are right about the mention of t storms all summer in LIS
and this forecast (like all) requires your own visual and tactile
assesment

Yes, except it is not Summer in LIS now.



i have and still do sail out knowing the forcast as well.
what is missing from this conversation is the use of ones senses


I'd rather wait a day and sail in nice weather. Must be getting old.
I used to ride motorcycle in the snow, but no more.



sail around them?
now how do you do that?

2 possiblities exist
one you don't sail far past your mooring

That's bob.


two, you must own one hell of a fast boat.

a Mac26X?



yes i sail with forecasts of T Storms but it is only after my own
assesment
see i usually sail often with my daughter and friends aboard and
feel
responsible for them, if not for myself.


In the summer, it's hard not to, as almost everyday there's a 'chance
of t-storms'. I don't mind getting wet when it's warm, but it is
cooling down now with this cold front.

A nice thing about the Chesapeake, there are lots of well protected
anchorages scattered throughout the bay where you can 'duck for
cover'.
