yes there will be enough

Andre · 25 September 2018, 08:23

so we have a "full house" as ribber put it

1. Solent Seadog
2. ribber
3. Simonh66
4. Mrs Simonh66
5. Paulywalnut

skipper - Andre

I could still take two persons on the aft bench seat. We will be changing seats as I do expect to share the driving with all

I have only got 6 lifejackets so best if some of you could bring your own

Simonh66 · 25 September 2018, 09:22

We will have all our own gear, so you shoyld have enough jackets

Andre · 25 September 2018, 09:44

The weather looks good for Saturday so to make the most of it this time of the year I am proposing a cruise round the IOW clockwise with lunch in Yarmouth

Andre · 25 September 2018, 18:44

Lee , as you do not have AIS look up Grey Mist on Marine Traffic on your smart phone . This will tell you where we are[emoji106]

Lee argyle · 25 September 2018, 20:39

Sounds like a plan, what time roughly will you be coming out of Southampton water? We’ll aim to be off Cowes to meet up

Andre · 25 September 2018, 21:02

Say we leave SDS at 9:30 / 9:45 then must take diesel from the fuel barge so we could be off Cowes by 10:45 - 11:00 the very latest.

Solent Seadog · 26 September 2018, 11:38

Great Andre. Looking forward to meeting up with everyone on Saturday. Will be slightly cooler than today/tomorrow so thought as it's a 'jolly' I'd start us off with a couple of bacon rolls at SDS before we begin (arrive 10-15 earlier than Andre's intended launch time and bring your own tea/coffee). Shout out if anyone's a veggie.

Great stuff

. the rib will be on the water after 8 AM. Please remember there is no on board sea toilet and there will be a lady on board

Paulywalnut · 26 September 2018, 19:51

That sounds great SS, can't beat a bacon roll🍔🍔. Excitement mounting in the Paulywalnut household, went to force four today to buy some new boaty duds!!
Looking forward to a great day Saturday, never been round the IOW, what an adventure 👍👍

Chaps
We have ridden motorbikes together for years with a fair bit of camping so Abi is used to “roughing it a bit”, no special behaviour required 😀

Hi Andre, do you still have a spare seat going? Wife's given me a day pass for my birthday on Saturday if you do. My ballistic is laid up at the moment, been out with Bob (lakeland terrier) a few times but not made it around IOW this summer. Mark

Trevor G · 27 September 2018, 22:50

Hi Andre
I'm 99% sure I'll try and join you on Saturday - but will probably be leaving a little later (Closer to 10am ) but can track you on AIS and would hopefully have caught up by Yarmouth for lunch.

Mark - If Andre's Parker is full, I'll have a spare seat (or three) on Black Adder (also kept at SDS).

Trevor, I still have to get fuel at the barge so you should be able to catch up with us . Will you be going round the IOW as well?

Trevor G · 28 September 2018, 07:29

Yes - hope to go round the Isle of Wight. (But I need to get fuel as well.)

I will go for fuel first and wait for you so we can go round IOW together.

Lee Argyle will be joining us off Cowes and FoxZulu off Calshot

Thanks so much Andre, and I'll bring the piggy bank along for the beer. Should have missed the birthday bit off

Thank you too Trevor for the plan B.

Be great to get out. Can't wait.
