Clyde Cruise - Wed 30 Dec

Ashton · 24 December 2009, 14:09

Is anyone interested in joining us on Wed 30th December?

We are planning on leaving Rosneath (From Silvers) around 10am, there is a good slipway to launch from, with a floating pontoon.

It is likely that we'll head to Holy Loch Marina, then down river to Cumbrae or the Kyles of Bute, returning late afternoon

Did Santa not bring you a Ghecko helmet to keep the wet stuff off??

Ashton · 28 December 2009, 10:22

Looks as though we'll now have four boats, 3 launching at Rosneath, if anyone else is keen on joining us for a 10am departure please post or PM me.

Hi Ian,

Welcome back ashore! I have counted you in, the others now include Graeme on his Clyde, Jonathan on his Revenger (TBC), Jim on the Humber (TBC) and myself. Can you make it???

Hello there, im going to say a tentative yes to the cruise.

Our boat has been getting revamped over the last 6 - 8 months. Our exhaust is away being refabricated but I'm heading down to Meercat to pick up our old one and get it back on the boat tomorrow. We also need to find some sort of cushon for the drivers seat as all the seats are away being re-upholstered so if all goes well Andy and I should be there to join you on Wednesday.

Ashton · 28 December 2009, 16:39

I'm sure we can find you a cushion (of sorts) for the day Graeme. Potentially 6 boats now......

Ashton · 28 December 2009, 19:37

Hi all,

Would you PM me with your e-mail address and mobile number unless I already have it???

We were out on the river later this afternoon for a while, it was absolutely fantastic!

Although we plan to depart at 10am (ish) on Wednesday, you can launch earlier and tie alongside the pontoon.

Well things didnt go quite to plan today,
headder tank was frozen, even though it had a decent dose of anti-freeze (obviously not enough), got that thawed out and tried to fire her up to no avail, the pre heater does not seem to be working and flattened the batteries trying to get her going (not been fired up for about 6 months)
A few other bits and bobs are still needing doing before we can head out on the water but my brother and i are going to have a right good bash at trying to get her wet for a new years jaunt

so were a bit peed off but never mind
Look forward to seeing the photos

Not to worry, I'm sure we'll be out again early in January.

Good luck with the works!

Have a good time - we may see you as we cross from Gourock to Dunoon tomorrow (or the big red ferry!) - we are off to Tighnabruich for a few days but without the boat mainly as I can't be bothered digging it out.

G.Mac · 29 December 2009, 21:52

You wouldnt happen to know Stuart Jack from Tighnabruich would you?
