Edit: By way of explanation;

So, we're getting good weather and great vis- see "better than the Thistlegorm". All is well with the world.

Yesterday Elfyn explored a "mark" and the vis was "only" 6m; the mark was nothing. It was getting late so I passed on my dive - always tomorrow, and we had plans, big plans.

Forecast 6kn SW, sunny. Perfect! We had a few mates to come for an offshore spidge-fest shallow site where we could get them and Elfyn in early and then we could zoom off another 14mls to the virgin uncharted wreck that is top of our list and it was MY TURN!

So I'm there putting fresh seed in my box when Elfyn's mobile rings. It's Nigel, from YD... "have you room for a small one tomorrow?" "yeah, sure" says Elfyn. "Might as well leave the "mix" in the garage", joked I. I finished my fettling and went home. checked the weather, 10kn SW, sunny. Not as good but plan still a goer

Woke up this morning.... a bit windy, on the edge. Sorted the boat and gear with Elfyn and Nigel is first to arrive, it's now 12kn SW and my virgin is looking doubtful but all is not lost, there's plenty of other "doables" for me on the list.

Everyone gets their gear aboard and it's now 18kn SW... the options are shrinking fast and the original plan is now scrap. Can't even do the Dakota until late afternoon when the tide turns. New plan- we can get battered for 15mls to Holyhead bay and it will be "doable" but the sun's shining and the vis is good so it will be worth it. So we battered our way to Holyhead and it was doable- just.

Nigel was first in, I put the rest in and Nigel was first up after 40 mins or so. "hows the vis, Nigel?" "Best I've ever had on Anglesey" he beamed "2m..." "Ho! Ho! Ho!, that'll be about 4m then " said I. "no, 2m" said Nigel "but I don't mind, I'm used to it... at least it's not raining..."

The rest came up:

"Vis?"- 2m
"vis?" 2-3m
"Vis?" 2m

Elfyn gets aboard..." what the f*cks going on? Vis is shite!"

At least the gale was now with the tide and we would get a reasonable ride back and the Dakota would be ok, albeit in full-bore tide and the sun is still shining and it's better than being at work...

So we did the Dakota, vis a good 6m. I showed the "crew" the swag spot, went for a mooch, found another porthole, had a nice dive for 45mins and came up... the sky was BLACK. Before long it was pissing down, still with the 20kn SW. So we went for a beer and decided it'd been a good day really

Nigel you're a

We'll get you on a proper wreck in good vis one day , mind you, we've got 6m to beat now....hmmmmm...

Well I had a good day I turned up at the port to find Terry sat in his van
Morning says I
Thats f*cked it says Terry
The wind did howl a bit the waves were a bit on the big side and it pissed it down at the end of the day but as always I enjoyed it best vis I have ever had.
