and finally did I mention BUGGER....

all this after having to clock up a total of 160 miles to get a nitrox fill because the air station at Portland was closed by time we got back from our dive on Sunday.

All I can say is ....

[Paul Whitehouse Voice On]

Oh Bugger!

[Paul Whitehouse Voice Off]

If the weather gods decide to change their minds and we get the green light tomorrow night then, as a promise to the whole of YD, I WILL GIVE UP SMOKING....

It is now £10 and some of the toilets are out of action.
You have been warned

Juz & I are on the trip to the same sub on the 25th (the one the Dude had to abort)
fingers crossed it will be better then!

We can attend a meeting about a trip for 2007 that we would have missed, so no diving on Sat, but I need hours, so what does Sun look like?

l'm easy, l would prefer to go early, what do you suggest? apart from hibernating in the warmth at home.

My place at 7, then on to Darren's, but I need to be back by 18:30 latest, OK? I'll call you, your mobile no. (on your profile) aint working though.

Selsey Bill to Lyme Regis

Issued by the Met Office at 0500 UTC on Friday 17 March 2006.

24 hour forecast:
Wind: east or northeast 5 to 7.
Weather: scattered wintry showers.
Visibility: moderate or good.
Sea State: rough. Issued by the Met Office at 0500 UTC on Friday 17 March 2006.

Outlook for the following 24 hours:
Wind: east or northeast 6 or 7, occasionally gale 8 around exposed headlands
Weather: mainly fair.
Visibility: mainly good.
Sea State: rough.

Well, I think we can guess what the call will be - I would actually appreciate it if I can get them to call it by lunchtime (which wouldn't seem unreasonable, given the forecast and the stability of for the last couple of days) as it means I don't have to trek out and get a fill this afternoon.

Even if they take us out it will be shite!

I'm sitting at my desk looking over the Solent and its not looking to good. It's not that windy at the moment but the sky looks like its trying to snow it's cold very cold and with the weather we've had over the last week or so the Vis will be pants. I would make other arrangements rather than spend £?? on a crap dive.

Exactly. If we do go out it will be in lumpy seas and viz like broth. I will give that a miss

Yep our splash off Trojan in the same area has just been canned as well.
So it's a slightly later start and a drive to the wilds of Somerset and Vobster
for us.

Still get wet mind, even if it is freshwater.

have we got a verdict on the trip tomorrow????
