I hope the weather calms down for all those travelling across.
I have to bow out of this one, as another event has taken priority. Will be on land, but involve lots of muddy water ...

I'm planning to leave from Christchurch if the weather is ok or possibly further along the coast if the weather doesn't improve.

Does anyone want to meet up along the way?

It looks like it's going to be a tad breezy...
I'm going to be out on Saturday (BIBOA Xmas lunch in Cowes) as well as Sunday, and as the weather's meant to be pretty much the same both days I'll post if the conditions are too bad!
Whilst it's going to be windy, at least it's neap tides and low tide for most of the boating time across the Solent so hopefully it will be just spray rather than massive tidal chop as well!
I'll be starting from SDS (up the Itchen), so if anyone in smaller boats wants to launch at Crosshouse Hard (under the Itchen Bridge) I'm happy to buddy up to keep you company. If anyone wants a lift the suicide seat is still available..

That's not much of a voyage, I hope you are going clockwise around the island

One last post before sending list....

Does anyone know if Neil Harvey, Matt H and Paul H x 4 are still going ??

[Avocet]

We're aiming to go across from Poole. Is anybody else doing the same or want a seat on our boat? Three booked on board so far.

We plan on launching in Poole by 10.30 so should be off Christchurch around 11.15. I'll be keeping somewhat further off shore than last time I was off Hengistbury in the rough!
