Round Ireland 2013 team mate !!!

Bushrider · 09 July 2013, 02:09

Hi ,
After many month of preparation and investing lot of time and even more money unfortunately the worse case scenario came true - my team mate got an offshore job and is not back in the UK before middle of August ..
If somebody is interested & available during the time of the RI please PM me for details !
Cheers

Common' rib.netters, someone must fancy a ride around Ireland!!!
Where is your sense of adventure?

Gilles · 11 July 2013, 11:56

did you contact the guy from the forum who was looking for a boat ?, common ribbers this is a fantastic challenge

Bushrider · 11 July 2013, 13:49

Hi ,
Yes - I contacted the guy who asked on the RI website + the guy from the facebook site but did not get feedback so far ..
Phoned HMS today to hear his opinion and what will happen when I show up alone in Milford Haven .
Hugo was very optimistic that this issue will be still solved before the departure .
Few minutes later I got from him the phone number of one guy who is interested .
Talked to him briefly today and will share all my information / travel preparations with him tonight .
Hope he`ll agree !

Hi
Just to say email michaela@powerboatandrib.com as they have a crew member from a team who can't do the event who wants to find a place on another craft. She will give you the details.

Hi Tom - thanks - will do so .
Guess this just happened recently cause I am in touch with Hugo and also talked recently to Paul L. and so far no news and just a few days left to go

bushrider, sorry i didnt get back earlier. glad you have another team mate lined up. i have thought it over and its probably just to close to the start for me to be organising myself with kit, accomodation etcetc. you are better off with someone who has been planning for it.
hope all goes well with the trip and good luck to everyone.
