solent cruises

Hugh Jardon · 25 June 2006, 11:25

there does not seem to be much arranged in the solent area unless it is all arranged away off of ribnet. is there much interest in regular get together in the solent area for cruises?

Im always up for it, just tell me when and where

Hugh Jardon · 25 June 2006, 21:39

my thinking was that there are probably a lot of folks on the south coast that know each other anyway and just arrange their own trips but it would be good to get a few cruises and meets going, with details posted on here, if some can be children friendly as many of us have kids and young kids that want to join in.

I have had some great times with the the sw ribbers and they are always arranging meets and bbqs on the beach etc so perhaps it would be good to do that in the solent area as well.

off to pwilly this weekend, shame you have had to pull out of that, but will be good to meet up at some other time in the near future.

There was quite a few evening blasts last year, going up to the folly or yarmouth.

Ive been over quite a few times, but would be good to get more company going

Maybe it'd be worth putting a cruise posting in for a few weeknds time or something? Maybe an around the island cruise, or down to poole or similar..

There hasnt been anything much on here since the winter. Would be good to have another "big" cruise like the one at the end of last summer....

Hugh Jardon · 26 June 2006, 14:46

i would agree with that tim plus it would be good to have something going on weekly or every couple of weeks, i am sure with the number of folks in the solent this would be very do-able, at least folks could join in with something

i will be doing a planning session this weekend for our particular availablity as we are planning on a few jaunts over the next couple of months around the country and post some threads to see if others are up for meets and cruises

An end of summer solent cruise would be excellent. How about the end of Aug?

Dino · 26 June 2006, 17:59

I'm all up for some cruises,I live in Calshot,if anyone needs advice or help on where to launch,stay etc please ask

Hugh Jardon · 26 June 2006, 18:06

here are some dates possible

1-2 July is pwilly meet....rib raid

16th July sunday

30th July sunday

centering out of calshot works for us on those dates, but meet where it makes most sense

we could arrange something for the bankholiday weekend of the 26-27-28 august for a solent large cruise

have some other dates that i am just working out logistics for visiting other areas

Works for me except 16 July-I'm safety boat for our club's festival of sail

Ian M · 26 June 2006, 21:22

Yep,
I was thinking that there's not a lot of Ribnet organised activity in the Solent. Diary permitting, count me in.

Tim M · 27 June 2006, 08:37

August would be better for me.....

Pete L · 27 June 2006, 08:40

I'm out most weekends from Warsash - would love to meet up with some fellow Solent ribnetters on the water

16th july looks good fingers crossed we run out of calshot as well ,
round the island would be fun if anyone else is interested steady ride not a race ,ideal for the kids as well .

lets hope we can make this one work

Tim M · 27 June 2006, 17:51

16th of July is do-able for me. Round the Island sounds like fun

Hugh, I think you might need to explain to this guy just what kinda cruising your proposing.

slimtim · 27 June 2006, 21:39

I might be able to do this in my own boat for once...hurrah
