I assume these are fairly solid assumptions...?

Gotchiguy - Into the Red (2pob)
Erin - La Frette (2pob)
Tony t - ??? (??pob)

We will definitely be going up for the weekend, though the actual days of travel may vary. If we don't go before friday, then it would be good to cruise in company with you.

Is anyone from the Floptilla returning to UK via Poole / Weymouth?

Erin and Martini we on-island last night so we had a bit of a natter about ideas for the weekend, what do you think?...

Friday afternoon, ask if the Sailing Club will open the bar like last year. It is the perfect spot for everyone to meet up as it is so easy to spot.

Friday night, al fresco at the Braye Chippy. Bring a bottle.

Saturday, train ride out to the lighthouse then a fairly short walk into town for lunch (stopping off at a couple of German bunkers?).

If you fancy getting back in your boats there is always the option of a run round the island to see the wildlife and special tides in action.

Saturday night, BBQ. Poss at one of the bigger pubs in Braye, will talk to them today.

[gtflash]

Since last post. I will either need to leave later Friday or on Saturday morning. Is there anyone else intending to leave then?? I finish work 1pm in London. So can be ready in Solent 3-4pm or anytime sat am.

There is talk among the CI RIB.netters of a trip to Sark and camping over night.

If we did this mid-week either immediately before or after the Floptilla, would anyone be tempted to extend their stay to include this?

If the weather forecast is good (or at least not bad) we could well be tempted....we'd prefer it though if one or more boats would be also staying so we could co-ordinate the return crossing to make it in company rather than solo. - and we could only do it the week after the cruise as the schools don't finish here until the Friday of the cruise.

Yes, quite possibly, but it would have to be after rather than before.

That makes two votes for after, I will start a thread...

An early predecessor to C4 explosive, very popular here in the Channel Islands a few decades ago. Also known as "bunker butter".

subject to weather, as my wife and daughter are coming with me, and they are not good with bad weather, but that won"t stop me.
