Talk to Ribald that is his "home ground "

I will be out tomorrow but sticking around Littlehampton only

you should venture out my way sometimes , a trip up the Arun , lunch at the Black Rabbit with nice view of Arundel Castle on route

Perhaps in the spring when the days are longer

You go in between the red and green sticks and buckets and the it's Ok. I'll come over with you if you want. I had to go in there at night on my coastal skippers course but thatwas a long time ago.!

Thanks Stuart... Anything with red & green marks sounds good to me. Where's the pub? Any good places to moor?

Dunno about the pub, but there is a yacth club that serves pub type food and drink, plus it has a fairly large pontoon.

Andre - it's supposed to be very calm tomorrow - will that tempt you out to Bembridge?

We were considering getting out over your way, but we're lazy on Saturday mornings! (well I am!) How far from Portsmouth to Arundel?

(i Like the charts Paul)

Would have loved to come with you for a blast across. And seen my boat being built you will see Bembridge Outboards on the Left as you come in.
The first map is the yacht club and there is plenty of mooring.

Not a great deal to eat along the front there but theres a couple of cafes.

If its open at lunch time this time of year The Net is very nice a short walk up the road.
The crab and Lobster is a very nice pub but you would not want to walk there.

For "Blue Ice" on a good day I would say about an hour to Littlehampton . But you must keep well away from Selsy Bill. Best to head for Nab Tower then Outter Owers and then Littlehampton, from Nab Tower about 20 Nm

PM me your mobile tel/no and depending on the time and weather who knows . I have to recover by 3 PM
