I can guarantee that the wind will exceed F4 on Sat and Sun this weekend as this is our yearly fishing trip off Aldeburgh. It has been blown off for the past three years and looking at the forecast for the weekend the pattern is set to continue.
 
I don't know. It doesn't look too bad:

And better on Sunday:

Still calling for F5 on Sat, F4 on Sun In a 19ft boat going 20 miles out F4 is marginal and it has gone up from a light and variable forecast yesterday, just watch by this time tomorrow F5 both days!
 
I will be racing in the Solent in a boat that needs a F5 to sail to her handicap. So no doubt you will get the F5 in the North Sea and I will get the light and variable. Hope for the best as ever. Good luck.

So it will be the padded check shirt, roll up fags, tins of beer in a big swell just to drown a few worms then.
 
I'll have you know that your stereotype is a few years out of date.



These days we have goretex shirts, cigars, chardonnay and rubbery things that don't drown. Still have the big swell tho'
 
It looks like fashion and chardonnay have not reached the entrance to Chichester Harbour yet.

The only goretex shirt to be seen is giong to be the team strip of some football club.
 
Well, we are sailing off Aldeburgh, v close to the home of the Snape festival, Benjemin Britten and all that stuff. More hwah hwahss per square foot than most nautical venues.


Best fish and chip in the world tho' in Aldeburgh High Street.
 
Chris is right. After several years practice we have developed a strategy for keeping the queueing time down to 45 minutes or so whilst keeping the children amused.

Aldeburgh boasts some of the fattest herring gulls in Europe - there is a connection!
 
All I can say is that you have some damn funny chippies around your neck of the woods. Most of the chippy servers I've come across have used Nora Batty as their role model. Anyway wouldn't your girl be getting fat burns across her ahem, front? I'm sure that H&S wouldn't allow that in Aldeburgh.
 
Dear Sir,

as a member of the local thought police it has been brought to my attention that you are able to produce such photos as shown here at short notice, this apart from your habit of using the said photos to encourage visitors to your premises!

Keep the good work up, and by the way, where on earth did you find them?
 
The connection between our premises and the pics is illusory.

I find pictures easily using Google. "pony girls" found this. Obviously a little knowledge of the subject area helps, but 30 years as a photographer helps to refine the technique. (That is: a passing acquaintance is all that is required, not an in-depth knowledge)
The issue of copyright is something that needs addressing, but these days the fact that someone has posted a pic on the web has put it in a vulnerable position and although the copyright holder has the rights in the picture, the possibility that they would be bothered to protect it is remote, unless of course they were displayed as samples of pictures for sale. If some one contacted you and asked you to remove a 'borrowed' picture it would be sensible to comply with the request as legal action would find against you. But as in all these things, the cost of legal action against an infringement of rights is prohibitive, especially if the use the 'borrowed' pic is put to is not of a commercial nature.
I'm sure people swipe pics from my commercial site, but these are not things that bothers me. The only thing that gets most photographers goat is if someone claims authorship of a shot.

So, in a word. Yes. I will continue to search for pertinent images.
