Hi Matt,

We're interested in comming down for a few days, but its a long way (lincolnshire) and we'd need accomodation (B&B or Hotel) close by and safe parking for the boat over night.

Any suggestions?

You could try the RNLI-it's close and has a locked and gated compound. Don't know if they are open that day though.

Has anyone else who is local to the area got any info to help.

We would need to get thing well set up in advance to come down, as i'm sure any others would that are travelling distance.

Nos4r2 · 24 November 2006, 21:21

Cool

Any ideas for BBQ's? It seems a good idea to me if we all bring a disposable one with us then bag&bin them afterwards-unless someone's got one on their boat

Biggles · 24 November 2006, 21:59

Matt,

Lets go for the throw away BBQs and whoever gets there first lights up a good 45 mins before we throw on the meat.

If we take some rolls pre buttered and some odd sauces we should supply enough.

I fhte Barbies are lit all ready as people turn up they can just throw on their food.

Throw away plates and knifes and forks and a couple of black plastic bags should see us right.

Maybe a ghetto blaster as well....................

Nos4r2 · 24 November 2006, 23:00

Sounds good.

I'll have to see how many sachets of tomato sauce, mustard and other condiments I can liberate from service areas

They make less mess.

I thought your stereo onboard was pretty good?!

Biggles · 24 November 2006, 23:23

Looking forward to this now. If its calm I might consider starting early and ribbing down from Southampton. Just have to wait and see what the weather is going to be like.

Nos4r2 · 28 November 2006, 19:03

Can you carry enough fuel for that? I've no idea if the fuel barge will be open in Poole on New Year's day. Might be worth ringing them.

Biggles · 28 November 2006, 22:34

Matt,

I don't think fuel will be that much of a problem if its a nice day. Biggest problem will be the sea state to make it a nice cruise and me being able to get up early on my only day off over christmas and New Year.

My last trip round the IOW only took 55 litres so if I bring some cans I should be okay.

Nos4r2 · 17 December 2006, 16:55

Well...after the absolute blast we had yesterday in the Solent it looks like my boat needs a bit of work. I also need some parts that I won't be able to get hold of til after new year now. Looks like I'm going to have to cry off

Sorry guys-I don't have any option.

rickuk3 · 17 December 2006, 19:36

Sorry to here that Nos4r2. hope you get it all sorted soon

Biggles · 17 December 2006, 20:32

Yeh,

Matt you looked good to me. No obvious problems visible. Mind you it was dark when we landed. Haven't checked mine in daylight yet. And I have lost something. Hopefully its hidden itslef on the boat and will show itself when i get chance to sort the boat out in daylight on Tuesday.

Nos4r2 · 18 December 2006, 18:18

I didn't realise how much damage had happened until I looked at it yesterday

The damage is mostly electrical-when my battery came adrift on the way over it wore the insulation off a couple of wires and broke the nav light wiring as well as smashing the base of the bilge pump.
Unfortunately where it's gone through isn't anywhere I can cut/join it without water ingress so I'm going to have to rewire half the boat. Luckily it didn't damage the control loom.

I need to get 2 more waterproof connectors as well-The nav light connector needed replacing anyway but was totalled by the battery and the one on my VHF has had water in it and has gone furry. I could receive but not transmit due to bad contacts all Saturday. I don't have a working radio until I fix it.

Biggles · 18 December 2006, 18:29

Matt,

Might not seem like much consolotion but I'm sure a man of your talents can sort that. I must admit at first I thought you maybe had tube or hull damage.

Check your PMs my offer still stands.

Nick.

Biggles · 18 December 2006, 19:01

just doing a trawl for potential numbers.

I'm going if the weather is satisfactory and will be launching from Poole.

Rickuk3 is going but not too sure of launching details.

Ian and Chris registered an interest earlier are you still interested ?

Regards Nick R.

rickuk3 · 18 December 2006, 19:22

I will be launching from Baiter slip in Poole.

Biggles · 18 December 2006, 19:31

I'm going to launch with Rick from Baiter Slip. If I find it

Neil Harvey · 18 December 2006, 19:40

mentioned this to the other half at the weekend, and we'd like to come.

After the last aborted attempt at getting to Poole, hope we can make it this time. Boat worked on portable tanks instead of the internal, so replaced the water seperator and hoping that has fixed things, but at least I know I can use the portablle tanks if all else fails.

What time are you thinking of launching?

Might need to find somewhere to stay new years eve depending on launch time.

Cheers

Neil
