Purty kitchen looks good to us two well done and thanks

So yeah, I'm not sure if we've Stated our Intent yet. I understand that donegaldan is going to have Deep Six in the marina beforehand this year. I will RV with him before your arrival. This year Tony will have his mobile on and will advise me if/when the UK fleet has departed the Land of Song. This will enable us to be "on station" at the Kish to ease you all through Customs, Immigration and Fingerprinting (I appreciate that Deano speaks a foreign language ). An agreed working channel would be a welcome bonus this time around.

Looking forward to this - shame about Kerny, but sure we can wring as much entertainment out of Hanna

Ch8 seems to be the "Ribnet Channel" My AIS is fully functional so should show up if you have a receiver

Er, no - we don't. We did look on MarineTraffic for you last year, but you remained steadfastly in port. Hull or somesuch, IIRC?

Glad you and Dan will be there to greet us this time, we did arrive last year undetected twas easy to penetrate your defence system This year we might appoint Rocky our communication officer this will confuse you even more
We will use channel 8 as our working Channel and let you know our eta which should hopefully be around 2pm

It's surprisingly good for craft in motion if they're in range of a base station, F/A use for historical/docked stuff. I reckon you didn't get detected leaving Wales. Many's the baaaed boy slipped out of Wales on the QT...

[1978SeaRider]

Is there a cheap and basic b&b in the harbour please ?

Going to be hard to find cheap on a July weekend... but here are some choices.

Bed and breakfast, Dun Laoghaire | Ireland.com

The Purty is a cracking wee spot - nice and small so with a big group you will get an area set aside. It's also only a short 10 minute stumble to the hotel you are in too and very close to the marina.
