Yep did that, thought the ramp would be protected from the prevailing winds.
Nice roller coaster ride in the waves in a small tinnie, :haha2:
Had some fun getting it back on the trailer. copped a little bit of water over the transom :oops:
Took a few minutes for ALL the water to drain out, Well they were loong minutes as I had a slow clock. :lol:

Here Here For Willy Weather, I use it and found that it is very accurate. Its good because it gives you information on the exact location.

The other one I like to look at if planning any offshore is
www.buoyweather.com. They want you to pay for the service but they give you a small two day wind and wave forecast which I find adds to your over all weather knowledge
