Cherbourg wrecking trip

Change of plan for Madness crew.  

We will not now be crossing the channel as Sunday is not looking great however, we will be fishing Saturday 

The Feisty crew are currently in Roscoff, also weather watching. Looks like Monday might be fit for us to cross, but we need to attend a family event in Torbay. Brixham is 107 miles from here, about 16 hours in fair conditions.

I can't comment on Cherbourg, but we encountered NW and W swells to 3m at times yesterday on our trip from L'Abervrach, and have gales forecast for today on the Shipping Forecast. This end of the channel looks unfishable for a few days.

Hope something settles down soon, this unsettled weather has plagued us for the last few weeks.

Alfresco 

Plan now changed

Ian is back to earning Brownie points by attending a wedding

Dan and I are giving it a go at 0800 Sat to see if we can at least get a line wet and a bit of fishing in while the ladies are away

if plans change you will have to join me and reg at the pub instead.

Wind levels are ok for Saturday but having had a good long look at predicted wave height and periods mid channel it has become very marginal to be much fun so we have decided to postpone.

 I believe that may well be plan B Sam <img src="/emoticons/default_biggrin.png" alt=":D" data-emoticon="" srcset="/emoticons/biggrin@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />  <img src="/emoticons/default_biggrin.png" alt=":D" data-emoticon="" srcset="/emoticons/biggrin@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />

We will not be mid channel, but with a busy August almost upon us and a complete pass we wanted to try to get out, before Dan and Chrissie go overseas.

Tigerfish doing a shorter local trip now and we will be adjusting what we do based on the conditions, it may be a very short trip, but I hope it's not.

Tightlines out there folks.

Cherbourg in 2 weeks time anyone?

Sorry Steve would have loved to but we are on the boat in Weymouth for a weekend away then

Sorry too

We need to come up with a plan that makes the younger ones that won't work . .. . . Go out to work and pay for US older ones that HAVE worked and paid into the system ! ! ! !

There ! !

That'll stir things up a bit.  <img src="/emoticons/default_smile.png" alt=":)" data-emoticon="" srcset="/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Now that I'm old . . . . . I can agree with it !

Never would have done when I was a youngster !  <img src="/emoticons/default_wink.png" alt=";)" data-emoticon="" srcset="/emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />  <img src="/emoticons/default_tongue.png" alt=":P" data-emoticon="" srcset="/emoticons/tongue@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />
