Electrical Gremlins

Hi Guys & Doll's

I am verry sorry but myself and Froglover will not be able to make this shake down cruise due to the Electrical Gremlin striking again

I hope you all have a great time and look forward to hearing all about it at the next Solent Gathering in the Churchillian.

Now I need to find a good marine electrician! Any volunteers, beer tokens can always be provided

Please PM me with details or phone me on my mobile 07761 864043

Best wishes
A very Sad

Will be at Calshot at 1130.

Probably in Scorpion BUT, if anyone is seriously interested purchasing my 5.4m Searider - see boats for sale - I might be persuaded to bring that along as well!

Regards

Hi all

Having not been involved in this thread since the first couple of pages I’ve attempted to catch up.

Unfortunately Saturday has not been possible for us since the beginning, but we’ll be out on Sunday if the weather holds.

I’m not wimping out on the weather, its just I’m very careful not to push the kids too far. They enjoy the boat so much at the moment, and I don’t want to put them off at all. Its difficult, as I like the weather/sea to be a bit rougher to increase the fun, but they are only 8 and 6, and could easily be frightened and put off for life. Don’t even mention going out without them at the moment as I’d get lynched when I get home.

Hopefully I’ll see some of you on Sunday, otherwise I’ll hear all about it on Monday at the Churchillian from anyone that’s coming.

Nasher.

Offer of Help & Lift

Hi everyone,

My thanks to you all for the kind offers of a lift. However, as much as I would love to come with you I need to sort the boat out. For those of you who have asked the Electrical gremlin keeps dropping out the GPS & Fuel Flow Unit. Cuts out for no reason then reboots itself when it feel's like it & resets itself. This Navman unit was new in early 2004 (can't find the reciept). I have checked all conections they all seem ok.

Daniel Enjoy your weekend I'll catch up with you later. Bruce thank's for the offer have sent you a PM.

Cookee I did try to resolve this issue however, the 2 Hotels concerend were most un co-operative and without involing solicitors would have got very messy & expensive. I put it down as one of life's experiences. Not much help to you I know hope you will understand Good luck with the comming season give my regards to Kitten.

I hope the weather is kind for you all to have a great time on the water this w/end.

Cheers
Kev

I plan to go down to the Camber for about 9.30 so I can give a hand with launching if anyone wants it, and then cadge a ride with someone.

I'll be bringing the latest bit of RIBnet kit -- a laser speed gun! So we can do some speed tests for anyone who is interested (and see just how fast those ferries actually go on the way out of the harbour!)

Any chance of "borrowing" that bit of kit for one of my duties, John - could have some sport with that.

BTW if you check out http://www.aislive.com/InfluxPortal/...outh%20Harbour you can get real time info from them boats fitted with AIS. The odd transgressor does exceed 10knts

Hi everyone - have only just got onto your forum and have rapidly sped through all the posts regarding your spin for this weekend.....

WOW - are my first thoughts, what an absolutely great bunch of people. Up until now, i have only really been keen on the PWC front, but now i have a rib-tec 5.3m, decided to come and see what the scene is like on here.

I have a couple of burning questions with regard to tomorrow / weekend - is the event still open to late entrants and would there be an accommodating requirement OR a dislike to a responsible PWC user coming along with you all and being some kind of marshal/safety aspect of the trip aswell ?
The PWC is a 4-stroke capable of 45 knots and i am reasonably happy up to a force 7.

I am offering this service just to be a part of this excellent event and am open to any suggestions !

(uh-oh, somehow think i may have left myself open for this one )

Please let me know - thankyou, John.

mobile: 07970 344610.
