9th Annual Nacho Run: 7 January 2018 - Page 4

lakelandterrier · 06 January 2018, 11:35

Well I've just knocked the ice off the cover, and the sump

Given the engine a run onthe muffs - sweet-, pumped a bit of air into the tubes, and found my drysuit.

Mrs T thinks i'm bonkers, but no real change there!

Sibbo90 · 06 January 2018, 15:02

Just a heads up ... chatting with Toby (rib-x 620) and Paul (bayliner) and we're all reconsidering due to the wind speed and 2m+ swell with 6 second intervals ... I'll bow to those in the "Solent know"' but that seems pretty horrible. (Was kind of hoping the forecast was overly pessimistic &#128542

lakelandterrier · 06 January 2018, 17:41

Given the forecast is not getting better, - 2m+ seas, gusting F6 - I'll be single handed and it's a 200m round trip tow, reluctantly I've decide to scratch Lunasea from the run tomorrow

.

However I'd still love take part in the run and devour some nachos, so if anyone is open to taking extra crew / ballast from Southampton / Hamble, I'd appreciate the seat. Fuel contribution naturally.

Please either pm me or contact my mobile 07743 322835 if you are kind enough to offer a spare seat.

Fingers crossed.

We are going from SDS as is Andre. I have 4 on board with seating for 8 on my 7.8 RC, you are welcome on board providing you can cope with the spray back on the third row of seats!
Aim to be at SDS for 9ish and depart around 9.30am

LURCHER · 06 January 2018, 18:05

Bob,

I will have some spare seats as well so you can take your pick

fuel contribution not required

lakelandterrier · 06 January 2018, 20:16

Iain, Andre,

Just back from a pre-birthday meal. Thanks both for your kind offers.

Andre, as I think you are less laden with "ballast" than Iain, may I please take a seat with you. If you won't take a fuel contribution, then let's discuss something towards a charity you support.

Iain, really appeaciate the offer, and look forward to meeting you tomorrow, but as I believe Andre is currently 2, not 4 up, going with him probably balances the boats a bit better. I love the RC7.8- did my PB2 in one,which has influenced my choice of rib. Will have my Gopro with me , so with luck will get some footage of you lancing though the waves!

Will be at SDS by 0900 in the morning, look forward to meeting you both.

Regards and many thanks, glad not to be missing the run.

Bob

Ian M · 06 January 2018, 20:33

Sorry I cannot be with you this year, but circumstances do not permit.
Hopefully next year.....

FoxZulu · 06 January 2018, 21:18

Mr & Mrs FoxZulu are 'good to go'. Can't wait, but we're sh1tting ourselves

Hey Ho, nothing ventured, nothing gained, and all that malarkey

See you tomorrow. Ch08

Obviously, each boat makes their own call on the day but I post a final List of Participants on the basis of information received.

In the absence of any feedback from the 'maybe' Poole participants, I'm assuming that they are a 'Go' and we will wait (for a short time at least!) off RYMC. Let me know if otherwise.

40 people seems like a lot to call to the pub but that's the current number: Poole boats (and Jetski) will, I suspect, have the hardest time getting there but will enjoy the trip home. The rest of you: intake lunch accordingly for your return!

Will look at the website around 9.30 to call in final numbers to the pub but after that (other than those who have my mobile number), we - all being well with us - will see those who make it: whatever boats are there are there!

CH8 for comms monitoring CH16.

Happy helming!

David

FoxZulu · 07 January 2018, 06:12

Reluctantly we're gonna bail today. The forecasts are now showing 24 kts gusting 36 kts in the Solent. That's way above our comfort zone. Hopefully next time will give us more favourable weather.

To those of you going, have a good day and stay safe.

Mike Watershed · 07 January 2018, 07:02

David - “Life” has happened here this morning so regret Watershed is a no go - annoying as I went to sea yesterday for final checks !
Thanks for fronting.
Mike

GuyC · 07 January 2018, 07:05

For the intrepid souls that persevere today I'll look forward to the photo's.

25 knots of wind against spring'ish tide will make it interesting.

jameszapcat · 07 January 2018, 07:09

We are going to pass this time. Perhaps we can join you all next time.
Regards James

Paul Cannell · 07 January 2018, 07:17

Currently 3'c cold & windy at SDS

Oscarguitar · 07 January 2018, 07:34

Hi, apologies but one again this looks a bit too lively and cold for comfort. Hope those that go have a good run. And thanks again for organising David.

longjohn · 07 January 2018, 07:50

I’m whimping out too I’m afraid - looks ok now but forecast wind is too much for this time of year [emoji853]

matt h · 07 January 2018, 07:54

Blimey, Its like a mass exodus, come on you lot, the weather has been available for days.

Happy new Year David / G AND a big well done for organising.
