Alderney

Slowly. He built a shed to go over it so he could work on it during the bad weather, but it blew down. lol

 

Don't think we will be going to Alderney on it this year. Maybe ready in the autum I think.

I hope his boat building is better than his shed building then.

Can't believe it just over a week now until we go to Alderney, seems like I've been waiting ages, then all of a sudden its here! Happy Days

 

Havn't sorted any gear out yet, will save that until the weekend

If you want to know what it's like in mid channel look here:-

In my experience, anything with a wave period of less than 8 seconds means it's 'choppy rough', rather than 'swell rough'. You could always look here as well:-

unfortunately it doesn't give the seastate for the extended period, but 4-5 is normally fishable on a charter, although the banks on big springs are not the place to be when it's like that! Proper shipping forecast is on 0900 665 0022 (premium rate 50ppm?)

Trips on , just some doubt as the the wrecking we were planning en route. Looks like we may steam over and get a few hours on the banks instead.

 

Full report on Tuesday

Wrecking will be damn difficult if you're wind against tide, so yes, do the banks. Don't forget, put everything back!
