alun j. Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Weather window ??? Anyone else looking at Guru or Metcheck........ will see a possible lull in the wind . After the blow continues all week, the strong wind on Sat. might fall and turn to the NW. [light] !! for Sun. Could this make a proper trip possible or will the swell still be big?? Small tide should reduce worries in the Run. BUT.....it's only Mon.; I expect by Weds. or Thurs. the forecast will look quite different. No firm plans yet. Alun.

Maverick Martin Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 If your predictions are correct Dean and I will definately be out, can't wait to see how the boat is at anchor and fishing for real Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 (edited) If your predictions are correct Dean and I will definately be out, can't wait to see how the boat is at anchor and fishing for real My prediction is that Martin will be having too much fun bombing around in the new toy to be bothered to stop and anchor PJ Edited January 8, 2007 by Paul J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duncan Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 keep posting - keeps me out of the weather sites at least............. btw AWOL has as much chance of catching cod at 30 knots as I do at anchor so 'go for it'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alun j. Posted January 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 I've finished my school reports, so I'm back looking at weather websites........ ..........and the 'Sunday window' seems to be wobbling! Guru are still sticking to light[ish] winds but more in the West. Metcheck keep changing their mind but going for stronger SW. BBC somewhere in between. Looks like Lymo is the only sensible place to try and up the Solent. We could have a little fleet of club boats keen to get out and thaw a few squid Alun.

Fugazi Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 We could have a little fleet of club boats keen to get out and thaw a few squid Already done that! Unplugged my garage freezer at the weekend to use my electric drill on a small boat modification and forgot to switch it back on. As it contained my entire fish stocks for both bait and food, it was a complete disaster, especially the loss of 3 x 2kg boxes of Tiger prawns.

alun j. Posted January 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Lots of groundbait available then.......... I'll bring my Berley Bomb ! ........unless you've cooked it all up and re-frozen the meals! ..memo to shopping list : buy an adaptor/ socket extension for d.i.y. power tools. Will we see you Sunday, Gordon ??........ You are the Lepe Cod Man to follow !! Alun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alun j. Posted January 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Forecasters starting to agree a bit more on light[ish] winds for Sunday.......YIPEE! .......so I'm on for a trip in the Solent...... as there's bound to be a big residual swell running out past the Needles [ it could be 30 + mph Sat. eve.] How about meeting up about 8 am. at Lymington slip ?
