On Friday I went aboard the boat to sleep hoping that when I got up the wind will have eased and I could go out and get a days work in before the next gale on sunday, So at 4am on saturday mornig We got up and it was still blowing hard, we had the forecast which was giving se6-7 occ 8 so the crew and I turned in again . we set our alarms for 8am to get up and do some jobs on the gear as the weatherwas looking poor, but when we got up at 8am the wind had gone and we had missed a day. so although disapointed we got on with our jobs then went back home.

We are hoping to get away tomorrow morning it is looking like a fine few days so I hope they get the forecast right this time, the sole season has started up the Bristol channel this week and the beamers have had some good catches so lets hope we can get some to and the prices stay up.
