I agree, but if you get into something that deep you loose the sense of rational thinking. Personally there are too many parts to his story which don't add up.

1. Slack water @ Fermain would be about 9:00am and then the tide in the Little Russell would have been flowing North from 10 in the morning till 4 in the afternoon.

2. The wind was in the SW all day about a force 5-6

How in those circumstances are you going to get swept past Jerbourg?

Plus next time you go diving try slipping your weights off and pretend to be unconcious, see what happens. Its OK if you lie flat on your back (assuming its flat calm), but try going into the foetal position. You roll onto your side! Did he really drift unconcious around the Russell? I'm not convinced.
 
Have thought about the unconcious breathing aspect myself, only way he'd have been alright was if he had a stab jacket or ablj that kept him the right way up.
 
I have a question for all the Channel Islanders on this thread. I'm not asking just to wind anyone up but because i'm too dumb to know the answer myself. I occasionally pick up on jibes between Jerseymen and Guernseymen and wonder if there is any basis for this or whether it's just healthy inter-islandry ribbing? Is it like the ribbing between Scots and English for example or is there a darker reason? I am very curious about this as I have visited Jersey many times and would like to visit Guernsey too. Like I said, please don't think i'm winding anyone up I am eager to learn!
 
Bloney crapauds!
Friendly ribbing!!!! You've got to be joking! There's an F16 flying around the harbour at the moment, I wish it would go and unleash some of its Maverick's on them!

PS. Yes, its all just banter, but there's nothing sweeter than beating a crapaud at, or with, something. ;) I know quite a few jerseymen and whilst I wouldn't want to be one myself they're alright I suppose :t .

I actually feel more sorry for him now than I did when I thought he was missing. Poor sod he's really in the warm brown stuff now.

rofl He'll be swimming harder to keep his head above it now than he ever said he was whilst at sea!
 
Here's me gun fully rigged up. I'm waiting for a shorter spear so its got the one from me 90 in at the moment, and the rubbers are off a 90 too so powers going to be down, but thats what I want for very short range night work.

Its getting wet for the first time tonight!
