TGIF WW1 Cruiser HMS Hermes Gig II - Fri 2 Mar

[tom]

Unfortunately I've just discovered I'm going to have to drop out of this one. My daughter's got an upset tummy and can't go to nursery, so I'll have to stay home with her.

Every single sea dive I've booked so far this year has been cancelled for one reason or another I was really looking forward to this one too.

Anyway - I've moved 'Chunderfish' into the space assuming she still wants it - if not I'll obviously stump up the cash - let me know if you need it Paul.

Keith I'll be coming down the M20 so could pick you up

However, have you all seen the inshore forecast

Wind West 4 or 5 becoming cyclonic 5 to 7, perhaps gale 8 for a time.
Weather Showers then rain.
Visibility Moderate or good.
Sea state Moderate or rough.

Is this good or bad for Dover?? !!

Its bad for Dover, Dave phoned me just now, however its just the inshore forecast showing this, the other weather site's are not showing anything as bad (well at least not the one's i have looked at Theyr.net, theyr.tv, windguru) so what we have discussed is waiting for the 1800 Hrs update to the Inshore Forcast then making a decission.

[keith_henson]

any update yet?

[Paul Oliver]

Ok we have a dive on

Inshore forcast is showing quite a change, it now shows this:-
