matiboy,

I will be staying in Basset, Southampton tonight. I have only ever launched from Hythe in Southampton water. Could meet you at Warsash by boat or car. Its probably quicker for me to launch at Hythe and RIB down.

Didn't really have any specific plans for tomorrow, only decided to go about an hour ago, tomorrows plans of moving cookers got cancelled .

I'm off to Southampton now. Hopefully see you all tomorrow.

Hi guys if you are all out in the Solent tomorrow, maybe I might see you, I'll be sailing in a boat called Sigmadon, you can't miss us as we'll probably be going backwards.

Daniel, I am definitely one to mind my own business, but is there are specific reason why you launch from Hythe, Bassett is really quite close to the launching points on the Itchen, it's certainly a lot closer than Hythe by land.
