You had better! 
There was talk of two nights this time around, actually get to see something other than a bar perhaps?

There was talk, but Tim was tied up with some stuff when last we spoke so I think we need to check on his availability to organise...

Another run sounds great!
How about a very early start on Saturday morning? Might get some flat water for some good speeds!
It is often calm at daybreak and not much about in the Solent!
Just an idea.

We must be on a different timescale to you. It's normally only calm at about 9pm in these waters.

We'd love to do this again as well - last year we liked it so much on the Ribnet cruise in June we did it again at the start of August on the Biboa Cruise.
Anyone got dates in mind as yet?
Martin - are there any weekends we should avoid due to other events being on that will make accomodation difficult?

Only really the first 10 days of August as that is Alderney Week (yeah, I know ten day week). Mind you that is a cracking event, but it is the only time when the island exceeds capacity.

Hello
Just seen this how does Friday the 23rd to Sunday the 25th sound
This gives me one day in the bar one day sober to enjoy the delights of Alderney and return on Sunday.
Motor Cruisers Ribs Pwc's all welcome you are asked to plan your own passage , have a suitable craft and safety equipment your decision to go or not your responsibility for own safety no charge is made for this just a cruise in company for the experienced or inexperienced to enjoy and as always weather dependent.
A minimum of RYA Intermediate for Ribs, Dayskipper for Motor Cruisers and PWC certificate of Proficiency for the PWC's is suggested.
Be nice to have a group meal again last years was amazing value location excellent and everyone was very happy with the accomodation available and Martin (Malthouse) did an outstanding job of shoreside facilities and great to meet Martini and Erin.
Cheers
Tim

Yeah, I could be up for this one. A two day stop over is ideal, would probably depart Salcombe for a mid-channel rondezvous.
