Re: he's gone
 

Nooooooo i am still up, they are saying 5am for the boat now!! and his phone battery is nearly dead lol thanks for trying though big pete ;)
i shant sleep yet again :confused:

Re: he's gone
 

aye, tis the weather. almost gale force winds blowing up out at sea so they say, the ferry coming in hasnt got there yet, he reckons its fighting against the winds coming this way, gotta feel sorry for the people on that boat.

Re: he's gone
 

No you wont sleep i know it ..
your best bet is put a video in and try and switch off ?
They will get some sleep themselves i should think ? So make a cup of tea sit down and watch a good video !!

Oh a tip , dont watch any of the following !!

Poseiden Adventure
Titanic
Riding a Moped around the Peak District One Handed


All 3 will scare the heck out of you tonight , specially the last one :rofl:

Re: he's gone
 

I've got nothing, he took it all, no dvd player, no radio, no cd player, just a tv :rofl:
thanks for the film tips though, i'll make sure not to watch them if they are showing on tv, although i have heard the moped one is pretty good lol

Re: he's gone
 

Well thats a good omen !!
As the poseiden sank at night .. and so did titanic so therefore if they leave at 5.00am they will be ok

I hate the ferries always makes me feel yuk !! And in the rough oh be horrible i agree.. maybe its better they let the wind die down :thumbup:

Re: he's gone
 

:rofl: Oh yea its brilliant film but not for the faint hearted taking sweeping bends at 30mph 1 handed !!! mad nutters on there :rofl: ,,

Well looks like its the telly then for you ..

You know nearly everytime me and mrs Bigpete fly !! About a day or so before we fly there always seems to be a plane disaster movie on :lol: She hates flying anyways and it starts her off , sods law they call it i guess :lol:

I dont mind flying at all but Ferrys horrible noisy shakey things !

Anyways get your cuppa and switch off :)

Re: he's gone
 

Don't envy them at all, this is what I dread when its time for us to catch the ferry, not a good traveller at the best of times, need travel pills to get on a swing lol. But just think Cajam in another week it will be a distant memory, try not to worry and sleep well

Re: he's gone
 

Im getting that same ferry in 5 weeks! So i hope the weather is better for me! :D Hope he got off OK and is now sleeping, yes he'll get there later but at least he'll get there, Dont want to be trying to sail in gale force seas. Delays are a pain. Just a shame he wasnt actually on the ferry itself during the delay as theres usually plenty to do and he coulda got a shower gone to bed etc. cant be fun stuck in the port :(

Best of luck to you both. My OH will know exactly how youre feeling as im doing the same in 5 weeks, leaving to start life in spain whilst she shuts down everything here. Then she'll be flying over.. think it`ll take more than a week tho.

Re: he's gone

Not too long and it'll be you ...how exciting!

Take care

Re: he's gone
 

Hi all
The ferry finally left about 6 am, my father inlaw went straight to sleep, hubby rang me about 6.45 to say his dad was snoring so loudly that he culdnt sleep and he was walking round the boat trying to find somewhere that sold earplugs :rofl:
He said they told them its gonna get rough about half way through.

Re: he's gone
 

:rofl:

We shared with our friends when we went over to France....NEVER again :curse: ....on the return journey we booked our own cabin......;)

Even Mr Eddie, who can sleep thru anything couldn't sleep ....!!!

Feel for your hubby....bless him.

At least they are FINALLY on route.....at last :eek: .

Fingers crossed for you onlineamiga....that there's no delays....

Re: he's gone
 

Glad they got off ok :) The wind picked up again and was gale force and sounded horrible. We felt sorry for your husband and his dad having to catch a ferry in that. Our 'For Sale' board was blowing backwards and forwards and it's a wonder it didn't blow over, it really was a horrible night. It's still windy down here today but beautiful sunshine so I really do hope it's not too bad out at sea.

They will be ok and soon you will all be together in a lovely warm sunny climate with this horrid cold weather behind you. :)

Re: he's gone
 

Oh, bless your poor hubby!

He'll have to tell his (nicely refreshed Dad!) to do the first part of the drive, so he can get some shut eye ;)

What time, and where, are they due to land??

Keep us posted - we're all rooting for you :)

Re: he's gone
 

I have no idea, originally they were meant to be leaving at 9pm monday and arriving at 9am wednesday, so i'm assuming that coz they left at 6am they'll arrive at 6pm?
