Anyonne fancy coming along and showing me the way in? I've never been into Bembridge before. Need to find somewhere for lunch as well.

Richard

Talk to Ribald that is his "home ground "

I will be out tomorrow but sticking around Littlehampton only

you should venture out my way sometimes , a trip up the Arun , lunch at the Black Rabbit with nice view of Arundel Castle on route

Perhaps in the spring when the days are longer

You go in between the red and green sticks and buckets and the it's Ok. I'll come over with you if you want. I had to go in there at night on my coastal skippers course but thatwas a long time ago.!

Richard B · 14 November 2003, 14:51

Thanks Stuart... Anything with red & green marks sounds good to me. Where's the pub? Any good places to moor?

Dunno about the pub, but there is a yacth club that serves pub type food and drink, plus it has a fairly large pontoon.

The Jackeens · 14 November 2003, 15:44

Is it this yacht club

The Jackeens · 14 November 2003, 15:49

or this one

Richard B · 14 November 2003, 16:45

Andre - it's supposed to be very calm tomorrow - will that tempt you out to Bembridge?

We were considering getting out over your way, but we're lazy on Saturday mornings! (well I am!) How far from Portsmouth to Arundel?

(i Like the charts Paul)

Would have loved to come with you for a blast across. And seen my boat being built you will see Bembridge Outboards on the Left as you come in.
The first map is the yacht club and there is plenty of mooring.

Not a great deal to eat along the front there but theres a couple of cafes.

If its open at lunch time this time of year The Net is very nice a short walk up the road.
The crab and Lobster is a very nice pub but you would not want to walk there.

For "Blue Ice" on a good day I would say about an hour to Littlehampton . But you must keep well away from Selsy Bill. Best to head for Nab Tower then Outter Owers and then Littlehampton, from Nab Tower about 20 Nm

PM me your mobile tel/no and depending on the time and weather who knows . I have to recover by 3 PM

Ooh! I heard that!

Lets hope the wind does drop off. Richard head up into the Harbour and lunch at the Bembridge Yatch Club, Very Friendly and Superb Burgers. Floating pontoon to berth on.

Ideal to feed all those hungry mouths

The Jackeens · 14 November 2003, 19:57

I didn't know Richard was Pregers - Maybe it's Dirt D's as there's a lot of shafting going on

Meet 12 mid-day Town Quay Cowes.

Ribald · 14 November 2003, 21:32

Hi Gang,

Much as I would like to come with you all - works calls (and the money to fund the new boat

)

I think the club Kevin means is the Brading Haven Yacht Club at the top of the harbour by the old marina (now private moorings so don't try and moor there - you will get growled at by the locals)

Avoid the Visitors Pontoon (unless you want a bl**dy long walk.)

The BH club has a nice pontoon and very welcoming - the "steakwiches" are excellent. Alternatively try The Vine pub (AY will remember this one from a supposed BIOBA cruise - it was too rough from them but some of us made it

)

HW is about 1415 on neaps so you should have no probs getting in and out even at LW.

Have a good time and post some piccys.

Richard B · 14 November 2003, 21:43

Thanks Peter

So is the Vine a bit rough, or was that the crossing?

Steve Care · 14 November 2003, 21:47

where is the vine in bembridge or st helens

Andre · 14 November 2003, 22:25

Thanks Paul, my better half had a good laugh at your remark. Unfortunately she has to work tomorrow . It is I who gets to play on a Saturday.

I'll see how things go but must recover the rib by 3 PM and that is the limiting factor. I also have a demo at 10 AM

Mine's a Guinness and make it a pint please. I'll see what I can do.

Andre

Kevin what are you up to tomorrow. Will call you on your mobile
