Red Moon Row 27 July
Jul 23^rd, 2018 at 9:39am

This is after Mo's monster row to Tenby so should not interfere. You could do both.

HW Tenby: 19.01, 7.8m LW (Sat): 01.12, 1.7m HW (Sat) 07.19, 7.7m
If the sky is clear a full lunar eclipse will be visible from 20.21 until 22.13 - apparently just a red glow (partial eclipse until 23.19).
Would anyone be interested in rowing out to watch this subject to suitable weather conditions?
Moonrise: 21.05
Sunset: 21.12 Nautical twilight ends: 22.51
Plan: Launch from Wisemans at 20.45 and row to a dark place. Return to Coppet Hall beach about 23.00. Dolly the boats above the high water mark and leave there until morning. Party or sleep.
If the skies are likely to be clear return to beach at 05.00, launch and row out to watch the sunrise at 05.32. Return to Wisemans and load boats onto trailers ready for Ramsey or taking back to the yard later on.
Note: night rowing rules will apply.

I think Nick is interested as well which makes 9. Caroline missed Keith. Anyone who can spend the night on top of the Monkstone playing the guitar is welcome in my boat! So just one more required.
Just a reminder: this is very much weather dependent, not just for the sea conditions but also having a clear sky, or mostly clear otherwise there is not much point. We won't know for sure until the day.
Night rules include: no passengers, everyone must wear an automatically inflating lifejacket with an automatic strobe light fitted (the club has a few to loan), boat must carry a navigation light and torches. It is also good practice for each rower to carry a light. I have a couple of head lights I can lend. Bring warm clothing, it can be surprisingly cold.

I will make a decision when i see the forecast in the morning.

Forecast for cloud plus F4 from SSE so it would not happen even if it was clear. Thanks for all the interest, I will look to organise a night row from the harbour (tides and weather) permitting before the summer is out.
