Well 'ard Solent cruisers needed on Sat (10th Dec)

[CJL]

OK if your well 'ard and fancy a good excuse to get out of Christmas shopping you could come out for a play on Saturday on the Solent.

We are gonna launch from Calshot Spit around 11 then probably across and up the Medina for pub lunch then down towards Yarmouth and the Needles for a quick blast and play.

I've got my boat and a 6m searider (first time on the sea since my mate bought it!) and it would be nice to have some company!

So if your well `ard , hate christmas shopping and fancy a play drop a post (not on your toes! ) and we'll see you there!

Sounds good Chris!

Weather - a wee bit in advanced but if your well `ard it shouldn't be a problem anyway!

General Situation:

Low pressure, centred close to NE England initially, will gradually slip away southeastwards and fill. Brief ridge of high pressure for a time on Wednesday before frontal system arrives in the west later.

Outlook for Saturday 10/12/05 to Wednesday 14/12/05:

Anticyclonic conditions look like dominating which means that many places should be generally dry, despite rather a lot of cloud at times. The far north of England is most likely to see any rain. MEDIUM confidence.

Is a little (4m) welcome?

(If not does anyone have two free seats? )

[CJL]

4m boats welcomed!

See you there at 11.

I'd love to come along but I've had to promise Mrs C that I'll be around this weekend.

Hope you all have a fine time.

Phil, You are also forgetting that we have the pontoontalk Xmas bash so I hope that whatever you have promised Mrs C does not include the evening

anyway I would have loved to go but there is not only our Xmas bash in the Arun View but also the tides are against us for such trip. HW at LAmpton is at 06:24 . there will be no recovery in the afternoon

[Hugh Jardon]

would love to have joined you but we are out at at 7 am on friday morning for a few hours as it will be nice on friday hopefully and will have some chores to do on the sat, have a good day .....

[Mollers]

"Well 'ard" and "Solent" , bit of a contradiction in terms there. At least Hugh/Chris has a good excuse. Who'd turn down a days dusting and ironing for a blast out in a Rib?!!
