So far as I am concerned a boat is a boat - you want to bring your hard boat along its fine by me

For those coming to the Dartmouth area in August you might like to look at this page to plan your stay to coincide with the regatta events
Dartmouthregatta

Red Arrows and the fireworks are usually the most popular and are on Saturday 28th August this year.

Ferry Slip

A couple of other things to watch out for are when the ferry comes in or is pulling out it has been known to wash smaller trailers over the edge so be warned!!! .......also there is a very large step at the end of the slipway so watch out for this on a low tide, oh ... and another thing, if the tide is going out rapidly the ferry tends to make its way downstream quite a bit stretching the cables which then encroach on the public slipway, just make sure your boat and car are not there at the time!

P.S.'right up for a meet up!

I am definately up for some kind of meet. As said previously, we will be down early Saturday 7th August in Paignton. This will probably not be a good day for us as we will be sorting everything out, but any day over the next 2 weeks would be good for us.

What do people want - a cruise along the coast, a session on a beach somewhere or what?

Some sun would be nice at the moment
Weather just looks like it's getting worse all the time now.

I would like to get some pictures of my boat at speed, I'll just go with the flow for anything else.
Best times for me are weekends and evenings after 6 only, as I launch from Paignton slip I have to be in 2hrs either side of low tide.

Hoping to watch the Red Arrows this year then stick around for the Fireworks in the evening of the 28th Aug

A dive would be good. Scylla is around 65 miles away - may be a little far? - though I have dived her 3 times this year and there is still so much to see.

Some good diving in Start Bay - we could even pick our own seafood for a bech BBQ?

There are also several good wrecks around - but vis can be an issue

Or we could trail the RIBs to Plymouth and launch there for a Scylla Dive

The options are endless - but we could organise several things so that everyone can be accommodated.

Evening cruises after 6 would also be great for me

So many things to choose from .... where shoud we start!

We are not divers but could be keen on a beach bar-b-que/evening cruise,would have to be back by dark though as no lights.
We are down 7-14 august.

There's a great beach on the Torbay side of Dartmouth just outside the mouth called Newfoundland, we go over there quite a bit, inaccessible by land so you're guaranteed a spot.

Found this on the Garmin Mapsource - looks ideal as it will suit boats coming from either direction

Can you run the RIBs up the beach, or is it anchor off and swim ashore?

How does Sunday 9th August sound? It is the only weekend day I am not booked at the moment.
There is the Resnova where we can all moor up and eat in the middle of the Dart if Dartmouth is the preffered option or there is the Torquay visitors pontoon with the Beacon Quay Pub right there?

Just a couple of options.
