Storm Darragh has been blowing a bit of a hoolie, just a tad of a gale. THe Isle of Wight ferries have all been cancelled, which really kiboshed one aspect of the day. Much to our dismay and annoyance.
Friends from along the south coast and the Isle of Wight were due to join me today at the Royal Maritime Club in Portsmouth for breakfast. The cancellation of the ferries meant that only the “mainlanders” were able to make it.
I have to confess that I wasn’t sure if the Gosport ferry would be running. I did check Twitter (X) to see if the ferry people were saying anything. They weren’t and as it happens there were no issues with the ferry.
Breakfast was lovely, although it had had a bit of a price increase from £9.95 to £12.50. Still it was a buffet breakfast, and very nice too.
It was seriously lovely to see my friends from the radio amateurs community, the only sadness was that the Isle of Wight contingent was missing. The upside of that is that we will have to do it again. It looks like the end of January could be on the cards.
Not too bothered though. Next Saturday is the Isle of Wight Radio Society Christmas meal, on the island. So a trip across for me. Which reminds me, I need to book my ticket.
