Scillies Birthday bash trip 28/05/09 to 31st

Hi all
A few of us so far, are off the Scillies for a Birthday bash, launching at Penzance (secure parking) and heading to Bryher on the west side of the Scillies for some wavejumping,snorkelling, drinking, fishing etc,oh yes and have just been rightfully told, a bit of sightseeing, quite possibly in that order!

for the first night will be camping on the beach (special occasion,tell you later) then staying at Bryher campsite for a few nights from the 28th May to 31st obviously weather dependent,pub very close,very good seafood so i hear.campsite has all the amenities,showers etc anybody like to join us,i want to make it a family affair so a good mix all round

so far

me/missus
Nos and liz (hopefully)
Chris/friends
Maximus and far far superior other half and friends
incontinentia
vaginica
biggus dickus ha ha only joking

3 ribs so far

Will be there cash permitting-it's unfortunately just after Honda finish their 2 month production shutdown so we may be a tad short of money as they've been my major contracts over the past few months.

all welcome,
Looking forward to it already Matt, May has been pretty good the last few years,so fingers crossed! sure you'll enjoy the 'je nes e qua' of the 'Fraggle rock' as well as all the other delights the Scilles have to offer.
How many places can you order a fresh Lobster from the farmhouse enroute to the boat 200yds away and pick it up later,still kicking or.. cooked and, not break the bank!? All about quality of life.hope to see the useual suspects along for this one,you know who you are!
LIVE LIFE TO THE MAX -CAUSE NO ONE GETS OUT ALIVE!

Matt

Will pencil it in as it sounds like a great idea.
I'll need to see how things are going nearer the time, but it would be quite an adventure for the smaller Nashers as well.

Nasher.

I would definetley, but i fear its too near the due date of the baby, and sods law dictates...............i would be in the dog house for ever and ever if i was all at sea when it arrived, I would end up with a chart plotter where the sun dont shinepossibly with the boat attached.
never been there but it looks great, sort of tropical
maybe next time or for my 40th in april 2010

Matt, I would love to join you and company, especially as I have had a number of great diving trips to those islands, but unfortunately I will be in Turkey when you are out enjoying yourselves
I'll have an extra sip of brandy in your honour whilst sitting in the cockpit (yep I'm afraid I will be rag and sticking with the family for two weeks - into every life a little rain must fall )

Cheers.

It happens. What really riles me is that the production line numpties are getting a full wage for 3/4 of the shutdown-but all the suppliers appear to be being just dumped and left to go under. There's probably 4 times as many work supplying that plant than work there.

You to Matt

Problem is, I have a gained myself a reputation for jibbing out of trips to the Scillies. Perhaps I should have made a New Year Resolution
