Well i used to prefer waves like them rather than a big swell, trouble with trying to get into Dover after a rough crossing was the "hole in the wall could look a bit small" and i don't know why but it always seemed that we had it rough on Friday Nights. ;)

Thanks for posting,

Roger.

There was a chop on the water similar to that during my last cod fishing trip in Oct, but when the sausages rolled out of the pan I decided enough was enough and headed back to port!!.

When you catch them, do you kill them with a codswallop, Robbie? :dunno:

They had gusts up to 180mph on St. Kilda leading to it being evacuated for the first time since 1955 when it was re-inhabitated. Three of the radar blisters were blown away. This followed on from the gusts of 144 mph recorded in Decembers storms.
