alun j. Posted May 10, 2012 Report Posted May 10, 2012 Agreed.......the weekend window has closed right up and make the Alderney trip unfeasible !! Not to be outdone, JV and crew will be heading West on Sat morning, to take advantage of the N breeze that should be dropping away. A day around the Shambles and into Portland overnight. Sat's form will dictate Sunday's plan.....but it looks like window is closing more amd will preclude offshore wrecking.........but it is an option. Anyone else want to buddy up ?? Quote
great white Posted May 10, 2012 Report Posted May 10, 2012 We are looking at a wrecking trip Sunday, hopefully with Dave and his crew for company Maybe straight out from Poole to get the breeze in our favour for the return leg. Good luck down west, we look forward to hearing how it goes. Charlie Quote
niggle Posted May 10, 2012 Report Posted May 10, 2012 With me in tow of Charlie and Dave Full crew Rich,Mike,and my mate Chris Quote
