For those of you South of Hadrians pile of stones - the Scottish Banks it seems take the 7th August off, unlike the English Banks who take the last Monday in August off...

Hi Xk59D,

Would be great to get one day as a run out ! Hope the weather GODs are good to you for ur time off. I am limited to flat seas as my back is fooked :-(
We are at Kip most w/ends.

All the best Callum.

Xk59D · 16 July 2017, 21:12

Sounds like a great weekend, though unfortunately won't be able to join. Windy summer indeed, thought we were just plagued with bad conditions on the east coast, keep looking west with wind envy....

Have a great jaunt and hope the weather is on your side.

9D280 · 18 July 2017, 18:29

Sat here in glorious sunshine login the idea but realising that we will have just headed South for a week!

If you do any pre cruise trips the week before I'd be up for a jaunt....

Callum Stewart · 18 July 2017, 19:44

Double post !!!

Callum Stewart · 18 July 2017, 19:46

Hi 9D280,

Weather is great today 27oC ( great day for working in a hot boiler room ) but still windy here in central Scotland !!!

There is loads of time for you to join us ( 2 1/2 weeks ) but as said runs will be very weather depemdant short runs if weather not playin ball.

We will all know better Wed 3rd August then can all make shout on the runs & boats.

All the best Callum

9D280 · 19 July 2017, 18:18

Ah. I thought you were only going out on the holiday Monday.

I'm off and in the area week before 31st - 4th ....

Callum Stewart · 20 July 2017, 18:51

Hi 9D280 - We are at Kip most weekends August the 4th is a Friday we will be down to Kip about 16.00 if you fancy a run for dinner & a pint ???

Hi Doug - it would be great to get a catch up for a beer or two !!! Whats this AIS ? We are still using a paper charts cumpass & pencil ! Only thing we have mastered on the new boat is the fridge & the Fusion music system !!!

All the best Callum.
