I don't fancy the waves at all this week, sorry girls.

Is it PC to call a pudding "black"? Surely puddings have acquired human rights by now? And is white pudding a supremacist form of subliminal bullying? Bring back Blair and let his expensive Mrs sort it all out in the ECJ.

Blimey! I'm feeling hungry just reading this BB having headed back from the slopper for a bite of Sunday lunch*.

Much as it pains me to say it - The French do make some amazing boudin noir! Really good with scrambled oeufs!

*Strangely French too...Confit d'Oie!

Does not sound too good to me this week, there has not been a decent weather window since the "rope" or whatever it was failed!

Breakfast of dumplings, dim sum and congee seems to be equally not to my liking here in Hanoi

They only need 24 hrs and both Wednesday and Friday next week are looking good.

Don't get your hopes up for no wind in March in the North Sea. Living here all my life and March Winds and April showers never change. Hope it's not the case but history says otherwise...

ross, that's taking multiculturalism too far.

The AM would aim to face into the swells, as those are generally going to be the biggest influence on movement. The difficulties come where the wind, and the local waves, come from a different direction from the swells, as they frequently do. Swells travel long distances and don't reflect local wind conditions. If there is a strong wind, and hence waves, at right angles to the swell direction then it's impossible to face both and the AM will roll as well as pitch, making the pull in tricky.

From that point of view Wed or Fri currently looks possibly better than Thurs, as thought the swells are forecast to be small on Thurs, there are significant waves, up to 4m+ at right angles.

never heard of it before now:

'Stornoway black pudding has been called "the best sausage made in the UK" and "one of the finest blood puddings the world has to offer".

[bountyhunter] 03/3/2019 12:59

With all those deliveries he's probably on the AM!
Cinnamon porridge for me, a little late for breakfast I know! Oh I almost forgot and Orkney crab terrine on toast earlier, that's my bit for boosting the local economy lol.

[bountyhunter] 03/3/2019 11:16

Yes definitely and I guess the AM would face into the wind, although probably a combination of factors to some extent. I've noticed that low swell is quite often accompanied by windy conditions although not on Friday (as the forecast stands at the moment).

Yes looking like two chances this week, at least as regards swell, as Bounty points out.

I think swell is more important than wind strength.

Home-made black-pudding & fried eggs for me today... and just finished making another batch of BP.

[bountyhunter] 03/3/2019 10:46

Wed/Thu still looking good re swell but pretty windy especially Thursday (I'm not sure how much of a part that plays), Fri good for swell and wind strength...

GS ETA back at Aberdeen 18:30 today

[eggbaconandbubble] 03/3/2019 09:48

Tell 'em they're vegan bangers. May have a bit more problem convincing them about the bacon!

Porridge & kippers for me today.

[bountyhunter] 03/3/2019 09:41

Lol! Send them to Wetherspoon's, they do a decent vegee breakfast!

[buzzzzzzzz] 03/3/2019 09:30
