alun j. Posted May 3, 2014 Report Posted May 3, 2014 I hope that forecast improves !! Looking marginal this eve !! Quote
LilBrit Posted May 3, 2014 Report Posted May 3, 2014 Well done on getting crew Paul, see you on the other side Cheers Martin, looking forward to it, hope weather holds up for us! Going to be a bit of a rush to get ready last minute but I'm on the case! Quote
Adam F Posted May 4, 2014 Report Posted May 4, 2014 I hope that forecast improves !! Looking marginal this eve !! And truly aweful this morning :-( Quote
LilBrit Posted May 4, 2014 Report Posted May 4, 2014 How close to the event do you guys decide whether it is a goer? If cancelled will you look to go on another date? Quote
Rob Posted May 4, 2014 Report Posted May 4, 2014 Give it a few days! Reserve date is Friday 23rd may. Quote
Paul D Posted May 4, 2014 Report Posted May 4, 2014 Heard the forecast was a bit grim. Took a look at Windguru and see what they mean ( my first look at a forecast ). Hopefully will change in next few days Quote
Adam F Posted May 4, 2014 Report Posted May 4, 2014 I can make the reserve date but not the fri, I have to go on sat and back mon. Quote
Paul D Posted May 4, 2014 Report Posted May 4, 2014 The reserve date is Helen's birthday.... hmm Quote
Maverick Martin Posted May 4, 2014 Report Posted May 4, 2014 The reserve date I am away elsewhere Quote
LilBrit Posted May 4, 2014 Report Posted May 4, 2014 Lets hope the weather picks up for next weekend or sounds like there won't be many of us making the trip on the reserve date!! Either works for me but will need to find a new crew for the later one AAAARGGHHHHHHHHHH! Quote
Rob Posted May 4, 2014 Report Posted May 4, 2014 ^ that maybe easier if some skippers can't go but their crew still can. Though we'd rather that not be the case! LilBrit 1 Quote
fisherman1055 Posted May 4, 2014 Report Posted May 4, 2014 OK guys It does not look like a certainty either way yet We are due to meet at Ishida tomorrow at 7pm to discuss / agree what we can manage in the way of weather and whether we can go this weekend or in a fortnight Second grandchild due on next dates so cannot go. Tony Quote
Adam F Posted May 4, 2014 Report Posted May 4, 2014 Agree - it looks bad even this far out. If teams cant make the next date 2 weeks forward - why rush - we also have a couple of new boats still not delivered. Two of the best trips Ive done have been in June, and the temp is usually hotter too. The bass, tope and cod on the wrecks are also in. Why dont we look at a date early June? I wouldnt bother meeting Mon eve with the current forecast. Quote
djredrupp Posted May 4, 2014 Report Posted May 4, 2014 Unfortunately we are unable to make this weekend (though not looking like much missed with the current forecast!!), as have some tickets for twickenham Will have a chat with the boss as to the reserve date! Dan Quote
Peter Posted May 4, 2014 Report Posted May 4, 2014 Agree with Adam having seen the forecast tonight I think this week is dead but a date in earlynJune would be good although we could make the reserve date Peter LilBrit 1 Quote
fisherman1055 Posted May 4, 2014 Report Posted May 4, 2014 I am happy with a June date no babies due and warmer weather seem attractive what are people's thoughts on this???? tony Quote
LilBrit Posted May 4, 2014 Report Posted May 4, 2014 Be good if we could avoid clashing with the WSF Portland boat meet dates of week starting 14th June. Quote
Matt Posted May 4, 2014 Report Posted May 4, 2014 I cant do first weekend in June other than that no objections to a June date although if the reserve date has a nice weather window wouldn't be averse to two trips! LilBrit and Rob 2 Quote
Rob Posted May 5, 2014 Report Posted May 5, 2014 ^ exactly, if the reserve date has good weather why waste it!!! LilBrit 1 Quote
LilBrit Posted May 5, 2014 Report Posted May 5, 2014 I cant do first weekend in June other than that no objections to a June date although if the reserve date has a nice weather window wouldn't be averse to two trips! If you guys are out of Portland I'm up for going across whenever the weather window appears, one of the reasons I bought the bigger boat was to do a few Alderney trips. Usually able to get away at short notice. Quote
great white Posted May 5, 2014 Author Report Posted May 5, 2014 Are we going to hold tonights meeting?? Quote
fisherman1055 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Posted May 5, 2014 Weather gives 16 - 20 knots for all days with 26 kn Saturday evening Is this now officially called off If so we don not need to meet and I can cancel the ice Tony Quote
Steve S Posted May 5, 2014 Report Posted May 5, 2014 Good question Charlie, given the forecast, there may not be much value in it Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote
fisherman1055 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Posted May 5, 2014 Wandering Star not coming unless radical change in weather I will not bother with meeting tonight We need to agree a new date as a lot of people cannot make reserve date Tony Quote
