Hi folks,
we are on a week mini tour and have today driven from Seahouses north to Dunbar, just over the Scottish boarder, mostly on the A1.
It said on the radio the wind was gusting 40 to 50 mph.
We sail a 33ft yacht and are well used to dealing with gusts as the boat is designed to cope, however, having seen an Asda home delivery van going the other way ON TWO WHEELS and ourselves being pushed further and further over, I wonder how you guys cope with these situations?
We slowed down, doing 20 mph at one point, and hung on. I knew it was quite bad as we where on bits of dual carriageway and no one was overtaking us,
AnY tips would be good,
Happy sailing, er I mean driving
