great white Posted May 21, 2012 Author Report Posted May 21, 2012 Hi Alun I am sure we are all checking the weather, I had considered going over Thursday evening, but that would be a bit of a nightmare logistically. What about very very early Fri am? Charlie Quote
alun j. Posted May 21, 2012 Report Posted May 21, 2012 Charlie......I'm only the crew, but will be doing some nudging soon !! With Sunday and Mon to look forward to, we'll just have to think of a plan for Sat. Yes.......an early start on Fri would be a good call if we can get there before the wind builds Alun. Quote
alun j. Posted May 21, 2012 Report Posted May 21, 2012 Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Have just seen Mon's latest !! Quote
niggle Posted May 21, 2012 Report Posted May 21, 2012 Chill..........It's Alderney fever all over again...... Let's leave it until later in the week when the forecasts stop changing..........hopefully Nige Quote
Rob Posted May 21, 2012 Report Posted May 21, 2012 Nige - "Fever" starts 3 weeks before and ends a week to go, so we are now officially in "Frustration"!!!!!!!!! Quote
great white Posted May 21, 2012 Author Report Posted May 21, 2012 Nige - "Fever" starts 3 weeks before and ends a week to go, so we are now officially in "Frustration"!!!!!!!!! Yes Rob , But Nige is chilling on a mediteranian Island, so has yet to reach the correct level of pre Alderney planning. Charlie Quote
ospreyman Posted May 21, 2012 Report Posted May 21, 2012 just watched bbc weather "when we get to friday the winds will start to strengthen" lets hope that changes then! Quote

Adam F Posted May 22, 2012 Report Posted May 22, 2012 Looking like you boys need to be going Sun back Weds? Quote
alun j. Posted May 22, 2012 Report Posted May 22, 2012 That would suit me !! .......anyone going to take me ?? Quote
great white Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Posted May 22, 2012 Bloody Weather Its starting to P me off now. Charlie Quote
great white Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Posted May 22, 2012 Bloody Weather Adam that weather window has moved so many times, its like trying to pin a tail on a Donkey. [A live one running down hill] If you want a laugh, go to metcheck and click on the 14 day forecast for BH14, It looks like we will all need a bucket of Factor 30 sun cream, and have to fit some air conditioning to keep us cool in the still airs. Fat chance of that. Charlie Quote
alun j. Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 Right.........it's now Wednesday and the forecast is holding steady for a windy weekend..then calm !! Are there enough amongst us who can 'flex' to go later......... Sunday or Mon and have a few calm days seeking those flatties .....tides are also a bit smaller! Alun. Quote
plaicemat Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 Like you Alun, I can go anytime. Unfortunately, can't drive myself so will just have to watch developments. Terry. Quote
great white Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Posted May 23, 2012 Hi Guys I have just come off the phone from Dave We have talked through all the plans this week as you would expect. The best that we can see at the moment is to let it blow through and then go on Sunday. Mon, Tue. I am waiting for an update from Nigel when he gets back to the UK Dave and I probably need to work on Wed, but are willing to have a late return. Terry you will get a call from Dave this morning. Craig and Ashley are looking to see if they can arrange these dates, as is Dan What are the other crews able to do?? Charlie Quote
plaicemat Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 Just got back from two beautiful days in Bournemouth with friends, why couldn't it stay like that? Have spoken to Dave E and Greg and the latter can do Sunday to Tuesday, so I'm alright Jack; don't know about the other crew member yet. I will check accommodation although the natives might be getting a bit pi@@ed off! Can I fairly quickly know how many are likely to be able to make it please to lessen the bad news again. Terry.

Tomo Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 Hi lads Manta Ray will have to decline as we have a charter booked early part of next week...and guess where to ...just hope the weather holds. Tomo Quote
alun j. Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 Terry.......can you add me to list for accom please. I think I may have a ride sorted. Alun. Quote
great white Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Posted May 23, 2012 Nigel thinks that he may be very busy at work when he goes back tomorrow. In fact so busy that he may not be able to come. He has accomadation booked ashore. If anyone would like to take his place if he has to drop out , both on the boat and in the accomadation, please give me a call 07887 794716 Charlie Quote
Maverick Martin Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 With the weather now closing in on sunday Awol and crew have decided not to go this time Sorry guys Martin Quote
Matt Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 Are we looking at not going at all or delaying again? Or a shorter trip Same as the last one that weatherwindow is moving away from us Quote
