Government warning for tomorrows weather

[Fisherman]

We got caught in a force 10 12 miles out from Bridlington in a 30ft fishing boat Barry, biggest waves I have ever seen.

It was scary but I don't get seasick but all of my mates did so I too was swilling beer and eating sandwiches whilst they were having a puke fest. When we eventually got back to the harbour we had to wait outside for an hour or so until the storm passed, the skipper said that if we tried to go in there was a chance of hitting the bottom if we went down in the trough of a wave at the entrance which had happened recently with fatal consequences.

why am I not the least bit surprised, but warning Rob.

I never suffered sea sickness in my entire life. As a boy I used to do sea fishing trips on boats.
I have been out in the Atlantic of the coast of Donegal in rough weather, no probs. I was the only one out of about 20 anglers on a trip of Jersey not to suffer, even the skip felt unwell on that trip. Two years ago I ventured up on to the deck of the Isle of Arran ferry, and for the first time in my life I felt sick. Once I got back inside I recovered, but I was sea sick. What shocked me was it was not that rough. So don’t count yer chickens auld yin, yer time might come, ye never know. Auld age may well be the cause, who knows

I rememeber being on a almost flat bottom boat full of our armered cars and trucks, after leaving the top of germany to get back to England
just about everyone was calling for huey & ralf, i went to go to the toilets and the floor inside the step was about 6 inces swimming in pucke.
I held on the we landed in south england, think it was a bigger storm than the captain had thought.

I say I never get seasick Bill but once or twice I actually have and as you say in relatively mild conditions - and yes it is horrible.

Thankfully very rare for me though.

I get seasick on land watching the waves. Mallaig to Rum was a rough one after a heavy night on the drink. Wretch that much my ribs ached all weekend.

Coming back from France with a friend, we both felt sea sick so went up on deck. Big mistake, watching the waves appear, disappeare, appear... above and below the rail made it worse. My mate grabbed my carrier bag of duty free tobacco and puked in it! Twat.

100 mph winds expected here, i have brought some big stones into my kennel just in case.

Sounds really dodgy in the north of Ireland. Stay safe

The only time I came close to puking on a boat was on our honeymoon in the Greek island and that was purely down to going below decks and seeing literally everyone else puking. It was supposed to be an around the Island trip on Zakynthos. I remember when we got picked up querying the tour rep as I knew there was a storm coming despite it being July. No problem says he, we are the biggest boat on the island. Two hours later rounding the top of the island it was like Cape Horn on a bad day. I wasnt too worried until I went up to the bridge and saw the crew literally fighting. They couldnt get the flaming thing turned round safely which is what I figured they were fighting about.

I started assessing the situation. Life boats, best place to be if it went down and how far to the shore but when I went below it was the most disgusting thing I have seen. Puke everywhere! and I almost heaved It took them several hours to get us back but thankfully in one piece. We went a lot to Greece for many years after but I always chartered my own boat after that.

Was going to join Merchant Navy . My uncle , who had 30 years service , always told me never to join a Greek ship

Really don't travel well on water.....I was sick on a pedalo on Rutland water! We went on a sightseeing cruise to a marine reserve on an island off Thailand several years ago, and it suddenly went from dead flat to full blown storm . The staff came round offering seasickness meds (wouldn't happen UK, for good reason) I took two which knocked me out for the rest of the trip...couldn't even stand up! I wasn't sick though

We took the dogs out as usual but it was a shorter walk. I reckoned Percy the old Pug would falter a bit and sure enough after his pee and poo he refused to go any further. I had foreseen this and took his buggy with us, so he rode for the rest of the walk.

Corrupted minds think alike.

 

[trevskoda]

Not a soal out here, all shops/schools closed, just fixed a blown out window in garage and a solar led lamp.
Roof inspected and 100%, next doors drains and spouting laying in his garden, all in all we got of light.

Cale, College Medway new builds over the road from my campus, one off the flats, roof blew off and landed on another hoose, a good example of not buying a new build!!
