Day 4
STEADY AS SHE BLOWS
Wednesday was another glorious day in Poole Harbour. The sun shone, which is always a good start. And the wind, though it never matched Tuesday’s 12-15 knots, was a perfectly sailable-in 7-9 knots. Importantly for the race officers, it also stayed relatively consistent in direction, rarely deviating far from 145°.
Day 3
SUPER TUESDAY: SUN, WIND AND SPARKLE
Everything came together on the third day of Poole Week. There was just the right amount of wind, the harbour was full of water, and the sun that the Met Office had been promising all week finally shone. It was a day when even those who didn’t cover themselves in glory on the race course came ashore smiling.
Day 1
A GREAT DAY TO EXPLORE POOLE HARBOUR
After the summer we’ve been having – if it really has been ‘summer’ – it came as a huge relief that the forecast for Bournemouth Digital Poole Week 2023 held the promise of some slightly less wet and windy weather. And the fact that the Met Office didn’t get it quite right for the first day was forgiven. It was warm, dry, mostly bright – even sunny at times – and breezier than forecast.
