I think one of the key factors [ other than the 'out at sea' issues] is the nedd to make a motorway - wide trench to take the cable from Barton to Mannington Heath... and all the 'backyards' and environmental issues this would cut through.
Woke to a calm morning today,,,,first for a week....and looks to stay for a while.
Hard to remember the last trip to Alderney when it was calm...it might have been the first two trips on JV [ 1 ] ! When was that Adam ? 2009 ??
Quote "For those with tenders, it may be wise to pick up a mooring on arrival and leave the tender on it for the day".
>>>> If there's any space Terry !! If they are all full, where would you put it ?
Anyone else thinking of joining us for Alderney this coming weekend ?? Forecast looks good [or even VERY good !] the tides are small and accommodation is available.
Sat to Mon on Steve's super, duper Tigerfish.
Most suited for when the camp site field gets flooded...rather than a trip around Poole Harbour on a typically breezy summer's day.
If it put out an anchor I bet it would soon fill with water if there was anything other than flat calm !
Thanks all.....relaxing day on the beach...with a cycle along the prom. Met Lofty [about to launch] at Branksome....await his report...it looked nice out there!
Now cooking a plaice supper... with family...and lots of birthday 'fruit' juice !! 'Hic' !!
Will I be fit to go out tomorrow?????????
