Take 2: Yarmouth and The Needles - An Evening Blast!

[benc]

Anybody fancy a mini cruise to yarmouth and needles this friday? The weather looks considerably better than it was last friday.

We are planning to go out on Friday to watch the start of Leg 8 of the Volvo Ocean Race. The boats are going out of the Solent via the Needles.

What time are the boats starting leg 8 and likely to be going past the Needles?

This weekend is old gaffers weekend in yarmouth. Well worth you chaps coming down as it will be really lively with live bands, street entertainment and lots and lots of beer.

The down side is that the habour will be packed and so will the pubs so you will need to book!! Probably not much chance of eating, you will have to book asap.

I'll be out friday and saturday moistening my gullet

If you're coming from the hamble, somewhere around the harbour masters pontoon?

I Hope to be out also.

Following the Volvo boats down the Solent.

Hopefully some food and drink can be had somewhere.

Aiming to be along too, in my new Rib (well new to me), maiden voyage

Should hopefully be leaving Port Solent about 5ish

I finish work at 5:30, down to boat for about 5:45ish, and then at calshot for about 6ish - at best. but reality, probably a bit later
