end of Season Weymouth Cruise

[Julian]

The annual end of season cruise to Weymouth is just having the finishing touches put to it. It now looks like it will be held on the 12th October. We need to start getting some idea of how many people are interested in coming to the event. Last year we had about 45 people and hope to have a few more this year. Can you let me know if you are interested. Call 01732 866553 so we can arrange accomodation for you. It is a great classic event for BIBOA.

Julian,

I'm definitely interested in this. I'm in the middle of a very hectic two weeks, so emails and RIB.net postings about events are a welcome tonic! Have you heard from Peter since Jersey? I'm sure that he'll be up for this as well. I'll be in touch soon.

Richard.

The cruise leaves from Yarmouth (IOW) on Saturday. We normally meet there at 10.00am for lunch and a few beers then leave for Weymouth at about 2pm. I do beleive Mr Priddy started this event about 10 years ago, maybe longer (Alan are you coming this year) . It is a good chance for every one to meet up before the end of season and have a good knees up.

Does anybody know roughly how many nmi the cruise is. Just trying to work out how much fuel will be needed. I left all my charts on a friends boat and can't get them until next weekend

I make Yarmouth to Weymouth about 40nm. p'raps add a bit on to keep offshore from Lulworth (don't want to get shot at! ) and a bit more of you want to look at Old Harry Rocks closer!

[Julian]

Pepper
