This started today & its 30knt winds out and pretty rough . So I sat on the cliff & watched for abit till the attached turned up & flewpast. Not great pics but all I had with me was a little olympus ( and the sand blasting my face didn't help !) , but was using call sign 'Warlock' - nice to see it .

I reckon I'll be there / in the area Saturday and Sunday. We were planning on exploring Poole & Swanage anyhow from Christ Church, caught sight of this event today. Bit of a bonus I reckon.
Is CH.77 the go?
What boat names are attending?
Mine is called "Hullaballou", Blue 7.5M Vector Mirage.

Hi Seb - 'If' the wind drops ( its gusting to F9 now ! ) I may well be out Sat & Sun also from Christchurch . If my boat is on the mooring ( just opposite slipway) I've judged it too windy to be pleasant !

Sat possibly parking away from the masses ( if it gets that busy) , Sunday just East of Boscombe pier. If you are going out/in from Christchurch be aware of the low ride times at 6.10 & 6.50 . I usually use an hour & half before low water as my last chance to get back in at Mudeford without needing new shorts !

Boat name 'Nestor' - Ch16 for calling will be a joke if its busy , but good for 'how not to do it' & to hear some blokes planning BBQs & fishing ! So try 77.

Pete

Thanks all for the info...conditions really don't look favourable to risk bringing the rib up and be stuck with a car,trailer and boat all day.So looks like i'll have to be with the masses on the seafront..Rich

Hi Pete,

Thanks for the local intel on Mudeford tides. I'm planning on staying in a friends house in the Rushford Warren area.
Can you suggest a suitable Launch Ramp?
I was also planning on leaving her in the water Sat night, any suggestions?

Sorry never been to Christ Church before, usually start from the other end of the Solent. Got bored down there, so exploring new area this weekend.

Cheers
Seb

If you are staying there then either the slip at mudeford quay (Long: -1.741981
Lat: 50.724706 , but the council charge for it ! ) , or up river the one at mayors mead car park ( -1.77964568138123 Lat: 50.7299361339381 my local & v close my mooring).

Its easy to stick an anchor down and let the boat dry out over the tides onto sand/ mud. But you may need to get hold of a tender to get to the beach , you coudl stop pretty close to where you are staying , but it gets shallow - down to about 2-3 feet at high water !

Alternatively you can always stop next to my boat on Sat night - bit further away from where you are staying tho. PM me if you want to do that & I'll re jig the bouys to make it easy - but again you'll need a tender.

Suppose another option is tie up outside the captains club - have a drink or tow & leave it there overnight - they are pretty relaxed about things like that.

Pete

Managed to get along on the Sunday, weather and sea state were both good. Airshow very good, but a shame about the low cloud rolling in right at the end, which terminated the display by the Arrows. However, by then they had been upstaged by the Vulcan and Typhoon.

Attendence was up by some 50% this year, 1.4 million visitors over the 4 days, so glad I went by RIB!

A few pics, sorry if you dont like aircraft, but some RIBS later

Very enjoyable pictures - thanks for posting.

What were the Police up to? Making sure people didn't get too close?

We were going to go on the 23rd (my birthday) but had a BBQ at home instead - so I was pleased to see the pictures.

Looked quite busy on the water - no problems getting to and from the event?

I went on Sunday & sat on the beach / to & from a freinds 56 ft Princess by Jet Rib - which we managed to fill with water each time we came into the beach ! We then had to lift & drain it before the return trip.

Sunday was a first day - nice pics Steve . Was partly sad not to have gone by boat , but I was worriing about the low tide back into Mudeford at 6 pm ! ( and I could have a few beers on the beach ! )

I am however planning to go & watch the powerboats on Sat from Cowes - so cant be all bad !

Agree after the Vulcan & Typhoon the Arrows were 'quiet'- very nice to see Lancaster & B17 - also top part of the flying.

Re;- Police. Imagine the scene "hundreds of boats, all forming a neat rectangle of clear water, which just so happened to be also marked by clusters of bouys", so along you come and think to one's self, wow what a great bit of water to go play in! The Police were dragging this twat out of the display area ...

I also have several nominee's for the Darwin Award, see pic. Three SIB's who kept drifting into the above area. Eventually came over and asked if they could tie on to our RIB as their anchour was not working. I reluctantly said yes, and asked what they were using. They then produced a sea anchour!! Both the wind and tide were running on shore .....

Sea anchor that's a classic. Great photo's someone obviously has an expensive camera or knack for using a compact. Personally I thought the day was excellent, fantastic display and loved the Ice cream boat called "frozen assets".

Isles of Silly next.

Thanks Sebbo

Only taken on a compact, all be it with a 10x optical zoom. Would not risk taking any expensive stuff to sea unless in a dive case, when it to lumpy to catch fast moving targets.

Hope to have a large commercial boat out there next year
