Solent - November 27th

[DJL]

Dylan and I will be out on the 27th.

If the weathers nice we may go round the island - but what ever we do there will be a visit to a pub for lunch.

Anyone else fancy an end of November cruise?

[The Jackeens]

We would certainly like to join you guys!

And if Bumblebee is sold, you're welcome aboard!

Hadn't thought about that! Would be quite sad if she was.. gotta get her out once more before she's sold.

Your very welcome Steve & Caroline - I may have to have a spin in your boat though


Tim, hows the boat going?

[slimtim]

Started work now daniel so only have time to work on the boat at weekends. I spent (with friends) 4-5 hours glassing in the garage on sunday and fumes did bad things to me

You'll begin to enjoy them after a while.

[Tim M]

I'd be up for this if it's a nice day (and some theaving something hasnt knicked my boat by then).

Could be the first trip for the new uni powerboating club im setting up

Boat having its '1 year' major service - putting back on any bits which have come adrift! Nothing major.

But.... would cadge a lift if anyone leaving from around Lymington area....

[The Jackeens]

Hi Bruce,

We think we have two more on board but you're welcome if there's space. We could drop in for you!

K & P

[Tim M]

Are there any more plans for this? Ie. times etc. Hopefully the weather will stay like this, although I've heard that it might get a bit nasty towards the end for the week.

[DJL]

According to the forecast Sunday is, I dare say, looking pretty good at the moment – light northerly winds, pretty cold (it is the end of Nov), maybe a little drizzle early morning.

Shall we go for the usual 11:00 ish gathering at Calshot?

The tides aren’t great for any exotic lunch destinations so it’s probably going to be either Cowes or Yarmouth. In which case do people want to eat before or after going round the island? My gut feeling would be to do the playing in the morning, go round the Island and then head for somewhere like the Folly for a late-ish lunch. I'm happy either way.


Tides (Calshot):

HW 07:37 4.02m

LW 13:20 2.02m

HW 19:58 3.87m

Sunrise - 07:38
Sunset - 15:58


Interested so far...

Andy & Thorper
pressman

brucehawsker (boatless - hitching a ride on Merlin?)
Slimtim (Tim you interested in coming for a ride?)

(Sorry if I missed you off the list, there was lots of intrest at the Church last week, but my memorys terrible - let me know if I did)


Usual RIBnet courtesies apply : casual cruise : skippers responsible for their own crafts and crew and a general ethos of looking after each other!

Dan, thanks very much for the offer. Not sure what I'm up to but would certainly be up for meeting in the pub for lunch (either cowes or yarmouth) if I can make it. I iwll keep a close eye on the thread.

Cheers

Tim

We will probably have young Pressman with us so we may draw a line at round island due the temperature but, will definately be in Yarmouth for a bite to eat.

Many thanks Daniel!

We will probably have Zippy and Nauti Buoy on board but Bruce is very welcome too.

Looking forward to it.

[Tim M]

I'm also not too keen on going all the way round the island. A buzz around the Solent with lunch in Yarmouth sounds very good though!!

[Hightower]

Any one got room for me? I don't take up much room....Honest guv! Wife's just tipped me the nod.

[pressman]

Andy if you can get to Hythe or Calshot you'd be welcome but we're probably not going round the Island

Thanks for the offer, I was hoping to get around the Island as I haven't done it this year......Will keep you informed......Really looking forward to the 4th though .
