great white Posted May 21, 2012 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alun j. Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share 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.

Rob Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Nige - "Fever" starts 3 weeks before and ends a week to go, so we are now officially in "Frustration"!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted May 21, 2012 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

great white Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Bloody Weather Its starting to P me off now. Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alun j. Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share 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.

great white Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 We both can make the new date's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaicemat Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share 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.
