LilBrit Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 How close to the event do you guys decide whether it is a goer? If cancelled will you look to go on another date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Give it a few days! Reserve date is Friday 23rd may. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Heard the forecast was a bit grim. Took a look at Windguru and see what they mean ( my first look at a forecast ). Hopefully will change in next few days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam F Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 I can make the reserve date but not the fri, I have to go on sat and back mon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick Martin Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 The reserve date I am away elsewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilBrit Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Lets hope the weather picks up for next weekend or sounds like there won't be many of us making the trip on the reserve date!! Either works for me but will need to find a new crew for the later one AAAARGGHHHHHHHHHH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 ^ that maybe easier if some skippers can't go but their crew still can. Though we'd rather that not be the case! LilBrit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherman1055 Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 OK guys It does not look like a certainty either way yet We are due to meet at Ishida tomorrow at 7pm to discuss / agree what we can manage in the way of weather and whether we can go this weekend or in a fortnight Second grandchild due on next dates so cannot go.

Adam F Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Agree - it looks bad even this far out. If teams cant make the next date 2 weeks forward - why rush - we also have a couple of new boats still not delivered. Two of the best trips Ive done have been in June, and the temp is usually hotter too. The bass, tope and cod on the wrecks are also in. Why dont we look at a date early June? I wouldnt bother meeting Mon eve with the current forecast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djredrupp Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Unfortunately we are unable to make this weekend (though not looking like much missed with the current forecast!!), as have some tickets for twickenham Will have a chat with the boss as to the reserve date!

Peter Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Agree with Adam having seen the forecast tonight I think this week is dead but a date in earlynJune would be good although we could make the reserve date Peter LilBrit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherman1055 Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 I am happy with a June date no babies due and warmer weather seem attractive what are people's thoughts on this???? tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilBrit Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Be good if we could avoid clashing with the WSF Portland boat meet dates of week starting 14th June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 I cant do first weekend in June other than that no objections to a June date although if the reserve date has a nice weather window wouldn't be averse to two trips!

Rob Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 ^ exactly, if the reserve date has good weather why waste it!!! LilBrit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilBrit Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 I cant do first weekend in June other than that no objections to a June date although if the reserve date has a nice weather window wouldn't be averse to two trips! If you guys are out of Portland I'm up for going across whenever the weather window appears, one of the reasons I bought the bigger boat was to do a few Alderney trips. Usually able to get away at short notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fisherman1055 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Wandering Star not coming unless radical change in weather I will not bother with meeting tonight We need to agree a new date as a lot of people cannot make reserve date Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
