At the end decided to stay in home waters.

What was the weather like in the Solent cos we had a rather strong and cold wind

We might make it down there for the day.

hannah · 09 April 2005, 18:12

yup im out on sunday with my dad and my two sisters , should be a laugh as weather looks good. Keep a look out for a blue ribcraft 5.3m merc90HP , we like racing people to so give us a wave and we will race !!!!!!!!!

benc · 09 April 2005, 18:18

I went out today, was very rough! Went to cowes in the end, was a nightmare to moor up! The harbour master there kindly helped.

Wind was horendous on way back so ended up doing about 6-10 knots all the way home took ages, a bit differnt from my normal 30-35 knots

Doubt i'll be out tomorrow - but if I do, is there a radio channel you guys use to communicate?

Zippy · 09 April 2005, 19:20

sounds pretty nasty today!

I was down at West Wittering today playing with kites and it was blowing a hooley! struggled to keep my feet on the ground most of the time but made for some interesting jumps!

Do remember thinking "im glad im not out there today"

I hear tomorrow looks better tho. wind easing off and a little warmer. unfortunatly i dont have the energy at the moment to tow the boat down so Zippy will remain in the driveway.

benc · 09 April 2005, 23:21

If anyone is going out tomorrow (10th) please let me know.

Hightower · 10 April 2005, 08:27

Might see some of you later, Hannah a race sounds good to me

hi benc we are alll out tomorrow (10th) should be good

hannah · 10 April 2005, 08:31

what time and where we should be there to race?

simmons0 · 10 April 2005, 08:37

Sorry we won't make it down today. Too much to do

CJL · 10 April 2005, 13:29

We were out yesterday and the Solent had a horrid chop on. Very short and sharp.

Went from Lymington to the Needles, to Yarmouth, to Portsmouth, to Cowes, to Lymington then back to Yarmouth and finally back to Lymington. About a sixty mile trip by my reckoning!

We saw a floating city which Americans I think call USS Harry Truman and I think I need to go to the Physiotherpist today cause my back is killing!

Probably the doctor too cause CND spent all day screaming like a girl in my ear as we went over waves!!!

Hope people have a good day today and get som photos!

hannah · 10 April 2005, 16:20

Sorry we missed you we were out from Southampton on saturday in our blue ribcraft 5.3 with mariner 90hp !!!!! Would have been a close race!!!!!!

Hightower · 10 April 2005, 19:58

Last min. changes meant that I couldn't have my trip out today

. Just as well as I wouldn't want to see a Ribcraft shown up by an aged BWM

.

Was a nice afternoon for it.

bogib · 10 April 2005, 20:54

Went out today with Whiteshoe, Michael and Stuart great time on the Solent but not many RIBs around though.
Thank you Brian for taking me along really appreciated.

Will post some pictures when I get back home.
