Holiday Guernsey 2007

[Spaniard]

This is turning into 'Raiders of the lost Bass', maybe i'll never come home like one of those Vietnam vets that still live in the jungle.......Gentlemen, start your engines!

[Sarnian]

Err ... don't you mean, " apocoscallops now " - this is gonna be a bit of a fishfest - where did the dancing naked ladies come from? ( Mind you, you haven't met my wife yet ... !!! )

[foxfish]

It would seem the Indian is a popular choice so I need to book today if possible, as the place is only small.
Any guerns coming along need to let me know ASAP please.

[podge]

Sound good book us up Mart (Jim and myself).
Have they got Tiger Beer? If so the first one is on me.

[foxfish]

Cobra beer mate - any how booked for 16 (all the seats left) 730pm sat night.

[Sarnian]

Well done Foxy! So who's coming to the Indian?

[foxfish]

Not sure Col but I told the restaurant I would confirm numbers next Sat at the latest.

[James T]

A bit of a delay here - sorry for that - count me in for all and any arrangements Foxfish - very kind of you. Thanks

[Andy.R]

Well I survived my stag night (just) in Dinan, so back in the land of the living.

With getting married on 4th august I am a bit pushed for time, but you can count me in for diving, lifts and a curry (if there is space) on saturday afternoon and evening.

Anyone needing lifts from airport etc anytime just send me a pm

Is there a rough itinerary for the "invasion"??

... or should I say the "Guernsey Freediving, Spearfishing and Seafood Festival 2007"

I guess it might go something like this - diving drinking diving drinking diving drinking!
The first two guys arrive on Thursday (Marco from Italy is already here) I will pick up someone from the airport & OMD will get the other (not sure which way around yet) Spaniard might want a dive in the afternoon as he arrives at lunch time? Thursday evening I was going to keep low key & most likely just cook for our guest if Spaniard, James & Marco can catch anything that is? Friday more arrive at lunch time so I will meet them & possibly take them diving in the afternoon, that means Spaniard, James & Marco will need taking out over the low water by someone?
By Friday night everyone should be here but I am reluctant to commit to anything until we know the weather situation? Possible activities, night dive, garden party , pub or who knows? I quite fancy if the weather is on our side The Terrace Cafe because it is such a interesting location & the food is superb! How about Herm for the evening?
Sat will be the first day we can all go in over the low & sat night is in the Indian, Sunday, it would be possible for two dives? The evening at mine for lobster feast.
Monday we say goodbye (cheerie for know - A la Perchoine)

[beardy241]

Excellent, thanks Martin.

May I suggest a night dive, Friday?

[Old Man Dave]

Depending on weather and peoples inclination I will offer boat trip at some point either for sight seeing and/or a bit of rod fishing but not diving. Not much time to sqeeze everything in so this will be an optional activity.

Well only one week to go chaps
If this weather holds we will be having a party. The vis has cleared right up maybe 20-25' today, about time!
Tried some deeper water today but my breath holds are not up to scratch - lack of practice obversly! Still managed another couple of bass, not big ones about 3lb a piece but as I scale, gut & behead my fish on the beach I don't often weigh them. (or photograph them)
Marco our Italian visitor has been here four days & caught 8 or 10 bass!! To be honest he is in a fitness league of his own & obversly very good!

[podge]

I’m in a fitness league of my own that is being very unfit.
I’m with you foxy I could spend all day wallowing around in 3 to 6 meters with next to bugger all tide to fight against.
Bring on the Jap Weed and the Indian stalking.
NOT LONG NOW
Hope that superman Marco leaves some for us mere mortals.
