[duncan]

Well there's only around 2 1/2 thousand inhabitants so we are bound to guess eventually

 

Martin

you're forgetting all those sheep..................

[TomBettle]

Flower pots? Cemetary?

 

Sod sleeping on the ground - I'd be on the boat or in a B&B!

Who said I was on the ground????

[great white]

As I was on the blower today, checking details for Portland/Weynouth weekend I thought I would give Rupert a call on the Island

 

He is going to check that there is not another big event booked for May 6th to 9th, then come back to me to discuss discounts for fuel and taxi etc

 

Without taking WAG's its easier

 

Put an idea up and before you know it there is a list, Simples

 

Provisionaly to date

1.) Joint Venture

2.) Alfresco

3.) AWOL

4.) Sweet Chariot

5.) Quest II

6.) Wight Magic

7.) Phaeton

8. Adobe 2

9. Chettah Cat

 

Can not wait, Charlie

[TomBettle]

Totally off topic, but completely (ir)relevent.

 

Just had a message that Amelia in Cape Verde went 2 for 5 yesterday. Best 600lb.

Her first fish and first session of 2010!

 

Thought it was apt considering the title of the thread

[great white]

For those unable to attend last nights meeting

 

I have been in touch with Rupert at Mainbryce on Alderney.

 

He has confirmed that they have no large events booked for the 6th May

 

Unfortunatly Diesel Pump prices have gone up since last summer, currently 82p ltr, but he is offering us a 7p per ltr discount.

 

Water Taxi will also offer a discount

up to 21.30

[Maverick Martin]

Just to bump this one

 

I am really suffering from cabin fever now and can't wait....can we go sooner Ok maybe not

 

Any more club boats interested? anyone need more info?

 

Charlie, Dean has asked a very important question. "What are beer prices like this year, and are there any discounts available for quantity"

Hi Greg

 

Welcome to PBSBAC.

 

Nice to see you on the forum.

I am sure the club members will make you most welcome during your forays West of your home port.

 

Tom

[biggcol]

Really sorry but we will have to pull out of this Alderney trip. I stupidly took on a gig at the BIC for us both before realising the date. Got a good kicking from Bobi over it

 

Colin

[great white]

Hi All

 

Welcome Greg

It will be great to have you along.

 

Hard luck Colin its a long way off so weather may yet change the dates.

 

We too may have to tweak plans by a day. Due to Dans college Thursday may be hard for us so we may have to go on Friday.

 

If we do Sam may also be able to come, but Navy plans change even more than they used to.

 

Charlie

[ospreyman]

thank you tom, will never forget the time you drove the boat, memorable instructive and great fun

charlie, looking forward to meeting again and sharing a beer (hopefully) in alderney in 6 weeks!

[biggcol]

Charlie dont feel too sorry for me the pound signs were the reason for taking on the gig, just to good not to take it on. If the weather turns and the date changes we might still make it, that is providing we have a boat of course.

 

[TomBettle]

thank you tom, will never forget the time you drove the boat, memorable instructive and great fun

Oooo

 

The "memorable" bit sounds a bit worrying

[Member Removed]

Hi all

Just had my 1st trip of the year,

was just a quick visit overnight, fishing very slow not much on the wrecks at the moment few nice pollock close in around the island.

 

Good luck and weather with your trip

 

Steve

[ospreyman]

Oooo

 

The "memorable" bit sounds a bit worrying

ps

all the best

greg

[Adam F]

Oooo! I cant wait!!

 

As always hinges on the weather. JV has been out, all serviced and clean, a few new toys added and she's ready to go.

 

We are having a test run out on Thurs, and then the JV Alderney crew are on annual hols abroad until May, when we get back - off we go!

 

Alderney Angling has just started to report a few small flatties on the banks.

 

Do we want / need to meet up for a pint and a chat at the bakers arms again like last year, or have we all got to know the ropes well enough now to just go?

 

Also - shall we start looking at buddy boats and leaving times etc?

[Oli]

Do we need to meet up for a pint

Yes I think we should. Enjoyed it last year and certainly built up the anticipation!

[Maverick Martin]

Sounds good Adam

 

We have Tony D Sernity new this year and a few new crew members so could be worth it even if only for the beer

 

Martin

[duncan]

"JV has been out, all serviced and clean, a few new toys added and she's ready to go"

 

that made me smile........

 

Phaeton's been in all winter and I got down for the first time last week - just enough to find a stanchion torn out and bail out the odd few (loads) of fresh water.... add this to being told I'm hosting a surprise 80th b'day party for my mum on the 9th May and I guess I'm as ready as usual...........

 

If the weather delivers I'm sure I can sort out the boat (and other) issues somehow

[Adam F]

Lets agree to meet for a beer on either the 3rd (Bank Holiday Monday) or the 4th - Tues at the Bakers Arms at the top of the Upton Bypass then?

 

As lasty year we can run through weather, passage plans, buddy boats and other questions etc?
