as ever, stay flexible

 

accurate forecasts, detailed catch reports and tide tables all too easily give an illusion of a solid framework against which to plan in meticulous detail...

 

I'm sure that the window will deliver great opportunity - go out and enjoy

Never a truer word spoken!

 

Even as we speak I'm thinking of heading staright to the banks on Thurs and Fri, and then wrecking Sat and Sun around the weather.

 

We will keep you posted!

[Mike Fox]

Have fun and stay safe!

 

Braye is not protected in a NE remember, but St. Pete is ok, and Diellette is good if you take your passports and Euros.

Still looking breezy for sat and sun. Worst case may have to be come back Monday morning?

[Rob]

 

I had that in mind so I have Monday off work too!

Yes, it is a possibility.

 

I'm still going. I'm going to take the laptop to keen an eye on the weather sites.

 

See you in a few hours Tom

Just spoke with Mark, at AA.

 

My current plan based on the forecast is to head straight to the Shoale tomorrow morning... I can fish mid channel anytime, and I want to make the most of the good weather.

 

I'll then do the same on Friday, and wait and see what Sat / Sun brings. Ideally I'll batten down the hatched and plug on back Sun if we dont get much more than a F4 E - if we do and it's not sensible, then leave Monday morning is a secure back-up.

 

The pontoon for tenders has just gone in today, but Mark's not sure how usable it is. The water taxi starts running at 8am.

 

As it stands I'm not planning on taking my little outboard - if anyone needs it for a tender give me or Alun a shout today.

[TomBettle]

Same thoughts here Adam, although the banks have less appeal for us. May leave those until Friday or even Saturday.

Car packed leaving Bristol now

 

Bring it on

[TomBettle]

Just picked up my ice which is superb quality flaked ice... looks like little white cornflakes. Three boxes still packed and one opened up fills my coolbox to the brim.

 

My gear is packed just need to pick up my clothes.

My crew are on their way from Oxford and we have a quick Tesco's shop for those last minute essentials.

 

Home,

Dinner,

Couple of beers,

Early night

and a 5 am meet at the marina tomorrow.

 

Now I am a tad excited.

[Ben]

I know its late , and a shot in the dark but is anyone coming through poole to cobbs that could pick me up ? the only reason i ask is that i have booked my van in to be repaired (met a lamp post the other day) and the garage need it for 3 days . The garage is just down the road from poole audi . As I said it is a long shot and if no one is able to do it i will get my wife to follow me down .

 

Meeting Craig at 5 at cobbs .

 

Cheers all

 

Ben
