[The Bryster]

Anybody thinking of Ribbing to the Isles Of Scilly next year.
I would be up for joining a cruise over a weekend perhaps.
Food for thought there......................
Merry Xmas!

I could be pursuaded. Depends on the where and whens!

If your doing it in your Sea Rider I will join you. Let me know the dates ASAP so I can get the time off.

Regards Biggles.

At last a fellow cornishman.

I am up for a trip. But make sure it doesn't clash with the Gig Championships like last year so that we can get some accomodation.

Probably best to make it on a 3 day weekend, so that you have 1 full day to explore the isles.

I would be up for that.
Over a 3 day weekend.
May / June perhaps?

Brian has organised this for BIBOA in the past although I don't think he will be this year due to his bad back - but has offered some assistance to anyone wanting to organise it through BIBOA.

I must get in touch with Alan Priddy who is the new BIBOA cruising co-ordinator.

As Duncan so kindly points out, it would be irresponsible of me at this time to commit to this cruise next year, although I would jolly well like to be there.

Instead, please read the Trip Report, List of Waypoints and About This Cruise here:

Click on Scilly Isles 2004

This should hopefully answer a lot of questions for those who have not cruised there before.
In addition, if I can answer any questions or provide assistance to anyone planning this trip, please let me know and I will do my best.

Almost Cornish (21yrs here, 5 years Essex!!! shhhhh)

Have to see if I can get away from work (Hotel Tresanton) for 3 days first.....
Would it be best to tow RIBs down to PZ and go from there?
Generally how long does it take to cross to Scilly?
Would my SR4 cope and keep up?

You are more cornish than me (Only 13 years)

I should imagine that size is no limit as you will be in company with other boats and the crossing from Lands end to St Marys isn't that far really.

Hopefully my boat will be permanently on the water but if range is a problem it would probably be better to launch from Penzance, plus long stay parking is easier there.

We might be interested in making the trip from Salcombe if it doesn't clash with the racing schedule of course!
