Adam,
No problem here, if it is too rough, I would rather it get called off then travel all that way to get thrown around.
However, boat is all ready to roll if it is on 
Hi Adam
I am calling it off too as Bill, my crew has to come down from Bedford and it seems a bit iffy to me.
I personally would not normaly launch in a F5 and a worsining forecast, so for safety I am calling off, sorry.
I was sooo looking forward to it as well!

TRIP IS POSTPONED UNTIL LATER DATE - TBA
Apologies for the lateness, but we were hoping for an improved forecast at 5pm - it hasnt come and whilst there is a small chnace we could get some fishing in it is a long way to go to turn around again - far better we thought to wait until another day.
I have a few dates that I will check and post for the reschedule.
Adam
gutted just loaded boat cleaned it and filled will fuel and looking forward to this trip but as you say paul better to postpone now than drive there and turn back .

Def the right decision.
Popped down to Mudeford Quay today and the sea looked well rough out there ( wonder if Martin ventured out ... , gload I didnt though ).
Saw Paul J as he had been fishing in the harbour and my labrador showed how intelligent he is as he decided to use Paul's portable toilet ( which he uses as a bait well )
Yeh, good decision, Adam. I would not have liked being out there today.

Seems an ill wind has saved me as I have just cleaned my car and it has died of shock!
The RAC are on the way to sort it out. I think the battery has died as it has lasted nearly 4 years and 164,000+ miles so can't compalin too much!
Glad it didn't happen towing the boat however.

Hi Paul,
I also ventured to Mudeford for stroll about 2.30.......... not even LW but no water out in the bay , just little breaking waves all over the shallow water !! No channel and two of the three yellow bouys were high and dry, the furthest one rolling in the waves.
Interesting to see the patches of gravel , where all the sand has been washed away, and shallow lines of banks , where sand has accumulated. The big tides later this week will reveal more at LW ......... I'll pop down after work for a look.
The wind chill today would have been very uncomfortable ; bearable when there are prospects of fish....... but at the moment hardly worth the effort.
Hope we get the re-schedule for Burnham soon to end the fish-fast!
Alun.
PS. Have fun with bends and splices using your new rope .
I was out just testing out my live well pump, it's bracket is set to force water up to the well while on the move with the pump switched off. It works!
I had a few fresh mackeral to waste so i sat on the corner of the run for a hour and had a nap.
The RNLI took two ribs out to play and then this guy kept driving his vechicle up and down the harbour about six times. i can't think why unless it was some kind of drill

Paul,
They were drilling I would guess - we were flattie fishing their a few weeks back and then kept doing the same thing for little apparant reason.
Adam
What is that metal gate doing in the middle of the water?
Kam,
It's the trailer for the lifeboat rib.
......Burnham style...... they use a tractor.
Alun.
My son works for the RNLI and is working on the boat recovery side projects.
They have a number of new methods they are trying out and need feed back on differant conditions etc.
They also have a nice new jet boat that is under trial and the beach recover it by driving it in at 24kts+
No keel band either!

Did Burnham cancel their comp? If not, anyone how did they get on?
Adam told me they had a couple of inch's of snow in the morning and gales in the afternoon 
we made the right move
