I hope to be out, what sort of time are they expected to start arriving ?

What was the barmy Army doing in the bay lastnight ?
I bet the tripper boat wasn't to pleased with his parking location

Heard the whole story over my hand-held VHF this morning.
Still. having signed The Wireless Telegraphy Act, I am now NOT going to tell you what hapenned as I will end up in the Tower or Guantanamo Bay or something if I repeat what I heard!

That was nothing to do with me!!! I just helm the RIB!

Well I won't show you the pictures I have then

I seem to have clearance now from "House Control" to go out to play tomorrow.
David
What time approx. do you think you will leave Brixham?
Name of vessel?
TQBoater
Will you be out to play as well?
Should we form a little convoy?

TQBoater · 27 August 2004, 19:11

We have to be clear from Paignton slip before 9am for the tide or we can't go till 2pm.

Would be nice to have you guys flatten out the water for us on the way round but what time will you be going.

If the wind picks up to much my copilot gets a bit edgy so we were going to go round straight after we launch but not a problem to wait

Brian I'll PM you my mobile number although I do have my VHF now just not supposed to use it

We hope to stay all night if we don't get wet in the day

Baring any reply from David, House Guest No.1 (Big Pete) plus me, will slip 10-10.30 and chug off.
If you want, you can launch, pop over to B41 or thereabouts in Torquay, and we will go round together.
Up to you. No problem.
My home is 01803 559800 or Mob. 07792 163133 (only when afloat).
