(don't read back...usual BM nonsense

)

Anyone else suddenly at a loose end?

Ye'll only be sitting at home eating loads & watching the telly

so dig the boat out & away we go...
If you haven't got a boat at the moment post or pm anyways cos there's plenty room on this little spin...

Where? Oh.

Lumpyish...Cowes for a bite then on to Pompey /Port Solent to trample
Matt's boat ... grub at one of the caffs/restaurants.....

Millpondish...Yarmouth and then the rest...

Taken for I.O.W. area

All,

It Looks like Myself & Froglover Will be out to play on Sunday

minus the Tadpoles

; only joking FL.

Where & when are people meeting up?

I will talk to PHYC in Port Solent and see if I can get us discount on Food & Drinks, as a Rag & Stick employee I deffinately can. The food is very good, reasonably priced and will suit everyones taste; the view over Port Solent is not bad either..

See you all Sunday

Matt · 28 May 2004, 10:03

Ello Ello Ello.
Damn. Since there's quite a few coming along, and it's a BH weekend, we've already booked Cafe Uno cos everywhere is booking up pretty quick.

Johnny Fuller wants a 'watersports' partner too by the looks of it. He must be missing Tony more than he lets on.

Couldn't decide which cruise to join so decided not to join either!!! Have a great time everyone. See you at RIBex.

Matt · 28 May 2004, 10:31

Go on, be a devil!!!
It'd be great to finally catch up with you guys on the water.

I think we'd be the ones trying to catch up you!!

'Fraid we can't make this one, although it's shaping up to be an excellent cruise and good to see 'hard' and 'soft' boats getting together.

Will you be around for RIBex, Matt?

Matt · 28 May 2004, 10:41

I dunno, I bet 200hp pushes blue ice at a good pace.
It does look like it should be good, the Jackeens really are stars.

Haven't really paid any attention to Ribex, what is it?

Pete7 · 28 May 2004, 10:47

HW is about 9pm, so are we going by boats? as the lock will be open and its neaps or can we use the outer pontoon without upsetting anyone ? what time is tea ? or is Matt doing on board catering

Pete

Matt · 28 May 2004, 10:57

Hi Pete,
I'd be up for that if only the galley was big enough, quite enjoy the odd bit of cooking. Check the thread on boatmad, that should answer most of your questions, but in a nutshell, drinks & nibbles on Distant Rumble from 6:30, table at Cafe Uno is booked for 8pm.
Cheers
Matt

Andre · 28 May 2004, 11:39

If it was not for the cast on my leg I would be spending the weekend in Yarmouth and 3 days ribbing and for sure met up with you guys

Have a nice time and see you at RIBEX

Andre

Matt · 28 May 2004, 12:06

You're more than welcome to come along for the evening shenanigans.

Rogue Wave · 28 May 2004, 17:02

You'd better watch out tonight cos I am out on the tug !You wont be able to miss it as I'll be trying to get it on the plane

The Jackeens · 28 May 2004, 18:44

Didn't see you Stuart...
Will we see you on Sunday?

Matt...Suzuki Pete & Troy & mate will be along too...

Matt · 28 May 2004, 20:15

We need to do a final tally up of the numbers for the day (so we don't lose anyone) and the evening so I can adjust numbers to book as needed.
What do you fancy for the day, I'd be OK with similar plan to last time? (ie 11@osbourne bay muster). Maybe even a bit later so I can have a lie in.

Three cheers for the Jackeens!!!

Nope not yet - three more next week, finishing just in time for RIBEX.

I did go out for a few hours this evening, quick trip down to the Needles and back

. There was a nice selection of RIBs at Cowes at ~8pm - anybody’s on here?

Enjoy the long weekend..

The Jackeens · 29 May 2004, 08:30

All over soon Daniel. Good luck.

We'd be up for 11.00 at Osborne Matt. Sounds good

Could spin to Yarmouth then & back to Pompey afternoonish?

People could deposit boats at preferred location then drive round to Port Solent...(Antoinette& Martin will take theirs back to So'ton for example)

We'll take Zeb (and VIP CREW) up to the Sunsail pontoon & play it by ear (usual jackeen strategy

)

Aging Youth · 29 May 2004, 15:32

Hi Everyone,

I have spoken with Port Solent & have arranged a short Stay for FREE on the Pontoon.

Jackeen what time are you intending to leave Pompey Harbour? We will meet you just outside Harbour Ent by Haslar wall.

Matt do you want me to bring your cans that you have orderd with me?

Cheers
