Hi,

Were are you planning on going on the Forth?

Michael

[SPR]

General Plans Weather Dependant...

Elie - along coast to Anstruther - out to Isle of May - might land...then back to Anstruther - along coast back to Elie for BBQ at Club House.

We need to take into account boat sizes and weather, at any point boats can step out and take refuge in St Monace, Pittenween Anstruther or Cellardyke, and pick up the cruise back to Elie or Head directly back to Elie if preferred...We have a ground support team to get people back to Elie if things blow up and we need to leave boats down coast.

Preferred Bolt Hole is Anstruther Harbour since we have a good slip to recover from if needed.

A no time will any boat be left by there self, even if it means I stay behind.

The outer forth can be a tad rough at times, so the plans are fluid. We have boats arriving from North Berwick so crusing to North Berwick is not very nice option!

We have two advanced powerboat certified & one powerboat instructor helping to plan the trip and give advice.

If anybody coming by Sea needs refuelled this can be arranged two.

As always people thoughts are welcomed before and on the day.

Hi,

Is Bell Rock not on your agenda?

M

[SPR]

Bell Rock - is quite far out, for us small boats, without safe haven.

As discussed previously threads,

( http://rib.net/forum/showthread.php?...ight=bell+rock )

its not really a plan able event, but more like if you can find a good weather window.

Most of the boats will be <5.5 metres, with 50 Hp, and a few big sport boats.

To to Bell Rock I would recommend leaving Broughty Ferry, Tayport or St Andrews.

Hi ALL,

After some thought and consideration of boats entered, Sunday we prose the following, final call to be made on Sunday after weather and sea conditions.

Club will be holding BBQ afterwards at £5 a head, so if you cant make the cruise you can still come to BBQ afterwards.

Hi there is the Isle of may out of the question?

[SPR]

Kev,

http://www.windguru.cz/int/index.php?sc=47826

Look at the weather forecast, we think the waves and wind direction will limit the may isle. (it can take few days for swell to calm down on outer forth),

Ian from SeaSkills can verify that!

We have a passage Plan for May Isle, that if weather is right and if majority want we will implement, but as it stands Dysart is the preferred Option.
