Rob Posted April 19, 2012 Report Posted April 19, 2012 SeA temp 50.5 near Alderney. I think the magic temp for the turbos is 52/55. 54 @ south west approaches! Quote
Rob Posted April 19, 2012 Report Posted April 19, 2012 Charlie, have you contacted MainBrayce re. fuel discount for club boats? Thinking ahead and getting excited, Rob Quote
great white Posted April 20, 2012 Report Posted April 20, 2012 Thanks for the reminder Guys [ I have been distracted by the Dinner Dance] I have called them today and they will offer us the same discounts on Fuel and Taxi Penny is going to give me the costs later, I will post them when I know. If anything it should be about the same as last year for fuel 85p to 90p per ltr Good news for those of us that charge about a bit and use some juice, and it compares well with the 60/40 price we are currently using in the UK Lets hope the weather improves Charlie Quote
great white Posted April 20, 2012 Report Posted April 20, 2012 recieved this afternoon from Mainbrayce Hi Charlie Sorry we didn't get to the phone earlier but as you say it can pretty hectic at this time of year! We are looking forward to seeing you all again and can offer you similar deals as to previous years. Our current diesel price is 98p per litre but I can offer the club 10p a litre off that so at current prices that would be 88p. As for the taxi I can again offer this service at a rate of Quote
fisherman1055 Posted April 21, 2012 Report Posted April 21, 2012 Charlie Many thanks for sorting this out for the guys who are going Tony Quote
Rob Posted April 22, 2012 Report Posted April 22, 2012 Thanks for sorting Charlie, these little things add up and keep Braye as an attractive destination. Rob Quote

Member Removed Posted April 26, 2012 Report Posted April 26, 2012 Hi Terry, further to our conversation, I have now booked B&B for Alderney. Could you add "LUKA" to the list. Could you also book two spaces for Saturday and Sunday get together please. I have aquired a crew member to help me out. Many thanks Lee Roberts Quote

great white Posted April 26, 2012 Report Posted April 26, 2012 Terry I will try to get Menus sorted out on Saturday at the dinner with my crew [ except Dan who is in Spain] I believe that Manta Ray is still coming , but perhaps we can ask Alan on sat as well Getting closer now I may start to plan a bit soon ref tides etc Charlie Quote
Graham Nash Posted April 26, 2012 Report Posted April 26, 2012 Getting closer now I may start to plan a bit soon ref tides etc Who's gonna be first to checkout the long range forecasts? Quote
Adam F Posted April 26, 2012 Report Posted April 26, 2012 I can do the plan easy for you as I'm not going! After several weeks of gales and rain the banks will remain untouched and brimming full of flatties... come the 8th May a big high pressure will move over the channel and remain there un-budged for 3 weeks... ....you'll leave Poole early and you have HW around mid-morning in the channel so decide to run the ebb down to the westerly wrecks where you stop for a few buckets of mackerel - full strings everytime.... you decide not to linger and run at 20 knots down to Speedy rock where you stop for a few hectic hours toping beofre in for fuel and mooring at 5pm, then beers and food. Sat - shoale bank, mountains of plump flatties every drift, nannels, beer, food, sleep. Sun - shoale bank, mountains of plump flatties every drift, sppedy rock, beer, food, sleep. Monday, up, brekkie, spend a fortune with Mark at AA, then leaving under a hot morning sun head north to plunder fat cod and pollock mid channel before arriving back in the marina around 7pm, shattered but very happy! ............................. You just know the above will happen - the only year I cant bloody come! I'll be turning my phone and PC off for this weekend! Quote
duncan Posted April 26, 2012 Report Posted April 26, 2012 Adam, You forgot the obvious; - 1. 300lb porgy brought alongside off Speedy 2. Mainbrace has an oversupply problem with diesel and asks us all to fill up at 50p/l to help him out the club records for turbot and brill are obviously a given, within your scenario, but both Ling and Coalfish also fall.........

You just know the above will happen - the only year I cant bloody come! I'll be turning my phone and PC off for this weekend! Adam have you hacked into my PC to see the plan?? Day one sounds very close, except the HW at Bray means fuel stop then speedy. Slack LW in the channel about 0927 could mean an early start [ I had better warn Dan now LOL] HW Braye 1147 means that if you need fuel it would have to be in about 1330-1400 The Slack at the rock is about 1430. Could be an early start and push SW to fish the slack at a wreck or wrecks 40 miles from home, and get some bait then to Braye and/or the tope marks for mid afternoon BRING IT ON Charlie Edited April 27, 2012 by great white Quote
Maverick Martin Posted April 27, 2012 Report Posted April 27, 2012 Has anyone else had a peek at the long range forecast? Quote
ospreyman Posted April 28, 2012 Report Posted April 28, 2012 Has anyone else had a peek at the long range forecast? nope- why would i want to do that! Quote
duncan Posted April 28, 2012 Report Posted April 28, 2012 Has anyone else had a peek at the long range forecast? I have enough issues with the sort rage ones at the moment. Honestly, I am expecting this to be a no brainer as things stand - but hoping to be amazed Quote
alun j. Posted April 30, 2012 Report Posted April 30, 2012 Too good to be true ??? Had a peek at Metcheck [ notoriously hopeless at this range !!] .......after yesterday giving gales and frost [!!]........now giving Northerly winds easing through next week, to leave a gentle N to take us there; light breezes for the weekend and a gentle Southerly tp bring us back !! They must be picking up Adam's brainwaves in their forecasts !! Quote
ChrisE Posted April 30, 2012 Report Posted April 30, 2012 Yes, all of the models flipped yesterday from doom and disaster to gentle zephyrs. I don't believe a word of it and fully expect them to flip back, say a week on Wednesday.... Quote
duncan Posted April 30, 2012 Report Posted April 30, 2012 the next week is very unsettled - (which is better than the last couple of weeks) - but I would prefer to see a settled one of some sort than one which relies on pinpoint timing over the trip period. the latter is inherently stressfull for skippers as it can easily lead to pressured decision making. but I guess I'm only really stating the obvious. we should get a realistic idea of what it's likely to look like in another 3/4 days (although that could still be 'changeable!)

Rob Posted May 1, 2012 Report Posted May 1, 2012 SeA temp 50.5 near Alderney. I think the magic temp for the turbos is 52/55. 54 @ south west approaches! 51.4 F near Alderney now! Quote
alun j. Posted May 1, 2012 Report Posted May 1, 2012 Looks like the model with decreasing N winds is holding ! javascript:emoticon('') Quote
