Weather is looking fine for tomorrow for a coastal tour.

Are there any South West RIBnutters up for a blast.

I will be aiming to leave Falmouth (Mylor) by 10am - 11am get to Fowey for lunch play around a bit in st austel bay - then home to Mylor before dark to recover.

Tides are looking good for all you tidal lot

I'll think of you as I'm sendin' a few down the alley (gulley).

Did you get up to Fowey Roy?

Wish I could have come with you, to much vehicle recovering to do.
Took some pic's from Carloggas Downs out over the Bay didn't see anyone out there.

Carloggas, Is that on the other side of Goongumpus, Bob? Near the Pooganooga treacle mine?

We certainly did make it to Fowey - what a fantastic day out - weather was fabulous - sea was fairly flat.

Had a really nice trip there and back and found this lovely little cafe in Fowey that serves amongst other things the most fantastic home made soups and cakes - just what you needed to warm up before the voyage back home highly recommended for any one visiting Fowey - its a little out of town towards the second set of mooring pontoons and is called "Pinky Murphy's Cafe". The only reason we found it was that when we got to Fowey the first set of pontoons were gone !!!

Gutted that the south west ribsters were back down to one boat - never mind - maybe next time.

Check out the snow on the pontoon and on the top of the laid up mooring bouys...

Looks like you had a great day Roy. If the weathers ok will be up for a trip out tomorrow.

roycruse · 26 November 2005, 17:19

Cant do any more boating till i can get the boat to IBS for servicing - the 20 hour service light came on today - right at the begining of the day - so shes allready had a days worth of over use. - I will try and book it in for Friday which means I should be back on the water sat/sun next weekend.

Yea best you get the service done.
KERNOW where are you?

gingercoastie · 26 November 2005, 17:30

If you can arrange the same weather for next Saturday I think I should be up for it (after checking with Heidi)

Mollers · 26 November 2005, 17:32

I'm getting more and more tempted to give the Vipermax a nudge and wake her up for a few frostbite runs. Scilly run is tempting. Got the service bill on Friday from July, £456.

Sounds like Pinkies could be the place for the next SWR get together.

No bowling in Fowey (Thank "F"

) So a mug of soup, slice of cake and game of cards? Eh, we could teach those Solent boys a thing or two when it comes to a proper night out!!

I'm sure there will be room on Voyager - I don't have that many "Crazy" mates. So far I have 2 who are up for it.
