sure if is real close then maybe (the ferry port is 30 odd miles further down the M20 that the tunnel)

re price - is the ferry that much cheaper

I just don't get it - unless you really really have never been on a boat before

He owns a boat but I doubt he does Brighton to France and back in that.

What's you nearest sailing venue

I have sailed Brighton once, many years ago (young and foolish) the shore break is a kit masher

I stood at the waters edge holding my kit for 10 mins before I launched - just the read the waves

Shoreham at low tide might be sail able

Don't be silly, Duncan. I don't see any unpleasant derailing at all. You guys are chatting about your leisure and other stuff, and why not, on a holiday thread, man! No worries.

Have fun eating your chocolate eggs on this glorious day and welcome more sunshine in our lives!

Wow, what an image! Well, it lasted for about an hour. Then the winds and rain disappeared and the sun came out again to celebrate the Resurrection Sunday. Still very pleasant here. Hope you're all having a good evening.

Your sea must be very dramatic with 70mph lashing. Would love to see such shots, if you can manage? You have an iPhone6 now. You can use it to take a picture or two, you know.

Thanks dbp

2 hour delay at Dover

But the Fezza made the time up pretty well (the French roads are simply fantastic, 550 miles never overtaken once!!!)

In the Alps by 9.30 quick pizza then hit the slopes early doors
