NEB Crew - Easter

[Bill S]

Possible meet at easter - Marky M is bringing his new tub up for her maiden voyage - depends on weather whether its at NEB or Loch Lomond.

I believe the Red Fox has a week booked - what dates Mark? Do you know if anyone else will be on the site?

If we come down I think it'll be a hotel somewhere close (Portlogan?) - too far to tow two outfits just for a few days - Marky M & missus will be in same situation. This idea is also approved by the better half - we can play silly buggers in the waves while she goes shopping, and someone else does the cooking!

Waxed up ready to go to either NEB or Lomond, weather depending, will fire her up for the first time next week !!

Got to keep the ladies happy, i'm game for camping but......it does get damn chilly at easter time, no fun puttin on damp wet suits !!

What, where is NEB?

[xr770a]

New England Bay near Drummore Dumfires and Galloway, excellent boating and fishing next to a caravan site, well sheltered.

Ta.

Bill, does the Isle of May in a rib mean anything to you?

[Bill S]

JW,

Never had a rib out on the east coast - had a cruise over that way on a friend's rag & stick boat ages ago - but Bass Rock area does look interesting!

Being a weegie born & bred, its foreign to me to think of anything other than the west coast for messing about in boats - even though I now live in Falkirk, and the east coast is actually closer.

Hopefully will get a bit more use out of the rib this year, so ideas for destinations are always welcome - although with her only being a little'un, weather and sea state will play a big part in outings.

Just checking. I went out there many years ago with a guy whose name was Bill. Completely lost track of him now but he used to go to Loch Lomond side in a caravan and he was from the West Lothian or Falkirk area.

[Bill S]

Sorry JW, - different guy - one common denominator - the 'many years' bit!

[Red Fox]

5-10 April are the dates we will be there. Sorry Bill, didn't spot your message! Cant wait, taking the van up on Friday...Hols begin!!...I can almost smell the sea air...shivers down the backbone!
Hope to see you there.

It was a hot week last year xr770a if you remember so camping could be the way...I'll be tucked up in the van though with a heater to keep me warm!...OK...fancy calling Julia a heater!
