Sinbad Posted May 26, 2011 Report Posted May 26, 2011 Hi Greg, Hope to see you over in Alderney too... fingers crossed for a calm weather spell... I'm looking forward to checking out Mrs Sea... looks a great boat... though I preferred the name of one of your previous boats "er outdoors" wasnt it? Paul Quote
ospreyman Posted May 27, 2011 Report Posted May 27, 2011 there was "her outdoors" there was "my osteopaths dream" because it paid his mortgage and there was almost "my osteopaths nightmare" because it wrecked my back but in practice the wife asked for what proved to be the last one to be called "Hot Love" i was told it was from the marc bolan song of that name that contained the line , she lives by the coast and she's faster than most. for those not from a racing dinghy background i apologise paul i will tell you the story of naming the mrs sea over a pint in alderney greg Quote
great white Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 Was looking at what could be done close to shore this looks like fun http://www.pecheaubar.com/videos.php?video...pe_de_Cherbourg I love the catch and release tank and the thought of a boat zooming about to measure and weigh fish so they can go back, dare I say well done the french Charlie Quote
Graham Nash Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 That looks good especially if the water is as flat as that! Quote
Peter Posted June 7, 2011 Report Posted June 7, 2011 What's the take on the weather for Alderney Freeboys is thinking of going but Sunday is looking not too good ? Peter Quote
Graham Nash Posted June 7, 2011 Report Posted June 7, 2011 I think Wednesday is the decision day Peter .... It seems to have changed 100 times in the last week. Quote
Adam F Posted June 7, 2011 Author Report Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) Frustrating isnt it? From a prefect forecast we have now seen everything across the weekend! I'm pretty confident the comp will be on, but whether we get over the channel is looking increasing doubtul. As I type (Tues 2030) Fri and Sat look lovely, but sunday is now touching F6 Lets see what Weds brings.... My back up Plan B is to go down to Portland for either 1 or 2 nights and target the wrecks / inshore marks. Plan C is to go down to the Island and spend a night in Yarmouth.

Matt Posted June 7, 2011 Report Posted June 7, 2011 Getting across aint the problem... getting back is! If you do come down to portland give freeboys a shout our plan isto do some wrecks etx if we cant hit other side Quote
ospreyman Posted June 8, 2011 Report Posted June 8, 2011 My back up Plan B is to go down to Portland for either 1 or 2 nights and target the wrecks / inshore marks. dont forget that sail for gold is on in portland this week, might be a tad crowded Quote
