great white Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Well as I am at home with a bad back, the festivities season is over and a New Year has begun. It seems to be the right time to open the 2014 tide book and have a look at dates for our annual trip to visit the lovely Island of Alderney. Tides seem to indicate that the first weekend in May is not ideal, even though using the bank holiday may have appealed to some. Weekend 9, 10, 11, 12 look to be a very interesting, small tides. Weekend 16, 17, 18 again the spring tides, may not make that an ideal choice Weekend 23, 24, 25, 26 the tides are again about right, it incorperates a bank holiday Monday, which may give me a problem at work, but in the overall picture would probably be a good fallback date. As we all know this trip is definately weather dependant, those of us who made the trip in 2011 would remember that we were a little too keen. While the trip was safe enough, fishing was limited by the weather. The 2013 trip was delayed, less boats made the rearranged dates than originally intended to go. But the better weather enhanced the enjoyment for those of us that could go. I therefore propose that we look at going over on the weekend of 9, 10, 11, 12 May 2014. At this very early stage I have no idea about how many boats are thinking of going this year, or even my crew availability, accomadation etc I have just called Mark and booked all 6 beds at Alderney Angling for three nights from the 9th, who knows I may even stay ashore myself this year, I must be getting older LOL. But lets start the ball rolling and see where we go from here. 2nd Weekend in May 1. Alfresco, Charlie plus crew tbc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Martin Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Charlie I wondered who would be first to put their toe in the water I nearly did yesterday but resisted. I am interested but as you say would not want to go on an iffy forecast as in 2011 or was it 2012 whichever year it was the trip home was definitely not pleasant 2nd Weekend in May1.

Adam F Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 I'm not sure what 2014 holds for me yet, with a new job to start in February, however I'm sure a couple of days off won't be an issue, although I will be restricted to a trip over a weekend to keep leave at a minimum. It's also my daughters birthday in May so if these first dates fall through that will probably be me out. Anyway Ian is keen this year so I'm sure JV will be there regardless! 1.
