Morning All

Im getting the bug again for messing around in boats in the cold etc. Im down on Friday taking some freinds out for the day and will also be around on saturday.

Is anyone else going to be about in the solent on these days and fancies meeting for lunch and a pint.

Oh and possible Alderney depending on weather.

Julain, the weather's looking OK for Friday and good for Saturday and Sunday. I might not have a crew for some of the weekend, though. I'll check arrangements. Looks like a good opportunity to get out (again!).

Morning Richard

I knew you would be out AGAIN, The weather does look good at the moment and hopefully it will stay that way. If its a nice day do you fancy going to Alderney for lunch etc. If its windy we could go to poole or something along those lines.

What do you require crew for?

Richard B · 21 October 2003, 09:42

Well, I'd feel like a sad git on my own!

Charles · 21 October 2003, 09:57

Mmmm - maybe it's a good time for reflection.
I was a sad git on Sunday cruising around Jersey on my own.

Im sure Richard can find some crew over the weekend and if its nice Charles we can meet you in Alderney that will solve all the problems of people being lonely.

I'm workin' on 'em!

Daniel · 21 October 2003, 22:17

If i'm invited Richard i'll come down Sat for a spin??? But i must depart from the solent by 5pm, sailing club prize giving @ 8pm and i'm in-line for a trophy! (and loads of beer)

Richard B · 21 October 2003, 22:35

Daniel, you're on!

Louise definitely can't make it, but I've spoken to Jackeen tonight who sounds keen, and Jackeen (missus) will very likely come as well. That leaves a spare seat. Only problem is this 5pm return. Two reasons - Alderney looks inviting, and we also have a bit of a habit of coming back from the IOW in the dark. Couldn't you do a video to be shown in case of your absence ("sorry I couldn't be here in person to accept this award...")???

The Jackeens · 21 October 2003, 22:42

Yo Richard,

I think we are already booked on Rogers/Julians tiny rib for the crossing if the trip happens. We can always jump around between them.

Daniel · 21 October 2003, 22:42

Hey it's not the trophy... This is the beer consumption event of the year, every hour counts. I need at least 6 hours drinking to completly write-off Sunday, finishing at, say, 2am means i need to be back by 8pm, so could push departure from solent to say 6pm??? Where is your waggon anyway?

The Jackeens · 21 October 2003, 22:53

Rich,

I'm free friday

Richard B · 21 October 2003, 22:53

Daniel · 21 October 2003, 22:54

Done

Nah.

Half man, half boat. That's cool.

Uh?

I don't quite follow that one... Have you been on the drambuie as well?

jwalker · 22 October 2003, 10:50

Nope. Must be my different humour.
