Hi All

Those people who are intending coming to Cherbourg with me, please remember to get your SSR and ICC. All accompanying boats will be repsonsible for their own accomodation and moorings. All legal requirements for entering French waters will also be the individual owners responsibilites.

If you have any queries regarding the SSR or you need an ICC then do ask me.

Simon.

Dear Simon Whilst I am quite capable of looking for myself on the net for the accomodation, I just thought you may have had some suggestions, so at least we might all be in the same area. All the best Martin

You might like to try popping into the Cherbourg Yacht Club for a beer. Its nice and informal and hospitable. They also do good meals.

I agree, it would be great if we were all in the same accomodation.

Simon,

Sorry to hear you cant make the event now.

For all others who are still interested in going, I have just booked a hotel called Inter Hotel Du Louvre, Its right next to the marina so easy to get in and out etc.

Here is the link if any oe is interested in this one http://www.bookings.fr/hotel/fr/inte...l=Cherbourg-en

I am planning to meet with Jon in Yarmouth for a bite to eat before we set off so let me know if you would like to run with us as well.

See you in few weeks

Hi Martin

Hope you and Steph are well, Be great if you can make the event, We have just had our engine and gearbox serviced and just having some new equipment fitted, again hope this will be done in time.

The plan is to meet in Yarmouth on Saturday morning for a spot of food and drink before we set off etc, I would suggest a 10.00am meeting to get the boats fuelled and ready to go.

Lets hope for the good weather.

Regards

Julian
