Terry.......can you add me to list for accom please. I think I may have a ride sorted. Alun.

Any one got a space for me ???????

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.

That would suit me !! .......anyone going to take me ??

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Have just seen Mon's latest !!

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.

Any thoughts this morning ??? Fri and Sat both looking windy ........ I'd be up for going later and coming back later !! .....but I know JV and skipper can't do that !! If things stay as today's forecast.....and we went Fri [early to avoid worst of wind] we would be going with the sea [ not so bumpy!]...be sitting around Sat , before having two nice days Sun and Mon.

.........and this afternoon............looking horrid !! How quick their models change for 5 or 6 days hence!

Anyone seen the forecast for Sunday. I've seen 4 [very] different calls on our [usually] more reliable sites !!

Chilli for me please. Alun

Ian asked me to post up this pic of his Brill. When he gets a moment from all his post- retirement activities, we'll have to show him some of the ways of adding pics !!

Well done Terry....dates suit us. JV's crew will take 3 beds at the Fleet House if poss. Thank you. Alun.

Suits me.........but I'm only the crew.!!

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 ??

Anyone else noticed how early morning forecasts look worse......then get better later in the day ??

Hi All......with the current forecast, I think JV is looking to go across on Fri afternoon; hopefully with a following sea. This will give us the evening in Alderney, a decent night's kip and full days fishing Sat and Sun. Any others thinking the same........or are we looking at Sat ??

I see everyone's keeping quiet over the weather forecast !! I think things will be settling over the weekend as High Pressure builds. Should get a following breeze to push us across [??]. Sat onwards keeps changing.......but fingers crossed.

So generous............for someone unable to join us !!

That 4th photo.........is def a dogfish. Spots vary.........but bullhus have much more pronounced nasal flaps

Looks like the model with decreasing N winds is holding ! javascript:emoticon('')

Many Happy Returns for the day..... Looks like a bit of a change in the weather has come with it. Great age to retire...........if you can !!

Too good to be true ??? Had a peek at Metcheck [ notoriously hopeless at this range !!] .......after yesterday giving gales and frost [!!]........now giving Northerly winds easing through next week, to leave a gentle N to take us there; light breezes for the weekend and a gentle Southerly tp bring us back !! They must be picking up Adam's brainwaves in their forecasts !!

looking at a few possible windows during the week........ .....but after all this rain, the water will be very murky.
