Adam F Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Weathers shaping up nicely :-) Friday is looking a tad blowey though after Thurs winds. Acting in capacity as virtual skipper as Bob is working away this week, and in Germany until Thurs morning he is looking at maybe going Sat - Tues if the current forecast holds. Failing that leaving Sat morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul D Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Btw. If anyone has accommodation, or knows of accommodation still available, then I will happily take a room. Was intending to sleep aboard but still recovering with chest infection, so might not be the best idea ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alun j. Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Hi All......with the current forecast, I think JV is looking to go across on Fri afternoon; hopefully with a following sea. This will give us the evening in Alderney, a decent night's kip and full days fishing Sat and Sun. Any others thinking the same........or are we looking at Sat ??

Adam F Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Forecast changed again! Looks like last year now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alun j. Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Anyone else noticed how early morning forecasts look worse......then get better later in the day ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Martin Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Anyone else noticed how early morning forecasts look worse......then get better later in the day ?? Yes all except for Monday. The way the forecasts are changing around is making decision making very difficult. I will sort of make a decision tonight with the final final decision being made Thursday eve but as you say looking like leaving mid day Friday and returning early am on Monday or perhaps even Sunday eve or if the window gets much smaller who knows Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Nash Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Its looking like Saturday & Sunday to me with the wind picking up mid day Monday. What a nightmare trying to organise anything weather dependent in this country!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plaicemat Posted May 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Alun, speak to Duncan. He had a room booked with me but he's not going now. I'd prefer it if people spoke to me as I'm holding all the rooms and it helps me to know who is where. I'll give Paul a call. Terry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Nash Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) Sorry Terry. Paul, speak to Terry as Duncan isn't going now so his space may be spare Looking at the forecast even Saturday has blown up again now so there may be quite a few rooms spare Edited May 9, 2012 by Graham Nash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Nash Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Terry ....... Graham has just had confirmation from Tommo that Manta Ray is NOT going now so Graham won't be either. This means obviously I dont need the room, nor the meal. I can't speak for Paul F but unless he finds another way of getting there he wont be going either. Graham.

Oli Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 At the moment it doesn't look like Sweet Chariot will be making the trip either I'm sorry to say. The wind/weather just doesn't look like it'll be nice enough - it's meant to be pleasurable after all! Any plans for an alternate date if it doesn't happen?

Tomo Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Hi Lads, Have made the call to cancel, as the window to get there and back is a bit small to say the least, especially as I can't depart until AM Saturday... apologise to my crew, but they all agreed it was best solution.

Peter Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Looks like Freeboys. Will not be going that window that looked great is closing down all the time so unless there is a change can't see it happening. Gutted Have we a reserve date?

great white Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Bloody Weather Try as I might I could not forget last years trip enough to talk myself into going in the same or worse weather. Dave and I have discussed all sorts of options but the best seems to be to postpone this weekends trip. I feel sorry for all concerned, but do not fancy coming back in that weather again. Sorry Terry for all your hard work mate, please cancell the diner booking and Accomadation Can I suggest we postpone to simular tides 26th to 29th May. Unfortunately that may not be available to all but I hope plenty can make it. Terry when you call about the accomadtion could you ask about these dates mate. Charlie [bloody gutted] I may have at least one space possibly two on the next dates, please get in touch if you would like to come with Dan and I . Dave and I may now do a wrecking trip on Sunday, I have one space if anyone fancys it, please let me know. Bloody Weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
