Deauville / Trouville Cruise - Page 3

Hi Julian
We are being inundated with visitors at the mo

The problem I am having with the Deauville cruise is that we have S.African friends who live in Hungary (of all places!) and they are coming to Jersey over that period. I can afford a jaunt up to Alderney but think it would be very rude to disappear for the whole week-end. Sorry , they only confirmed on Tuesday.
Let me know about your trip to Alderney. I will let Steve know - he owns Chris Strickers old Seahound - lives in Alderney. I'm sure he would like to meet up too.

Mark Wildey and The Garsides will stop over enroute to Spain. Mike Dand Chris S will be over, I'll give you a call and introduce you to everyone. Come up to Alderney with me to meet the Deauville cruise as well.

I knew the MBY one was soon but i didnt realise that soon!

Trust you to be in the know

It will be good to get involved

and see them all. So please do give me a call.

Also it would be lovely to go up to Alderney and meet the BIBOA crowd.

There isn't anything happening this weekend though is there? As I am back off to Guernsey on Saturday.

Thank You Charles

Hi Charles

No problem, I suppose it would'nt look too good if they turned up and you disapered. I will keep you upto date about Alderney etc and we can have a beer or 3.

Morning Folks

I have been in contact with the IBIS hotel over the weekend which is where we are all staying in Deauville this year, Unfortunately i cannot make reservations for you all, The reason for this is its now their policy to take a credit card number for each booking etc. Can I ask you each to call the IBIS Hotel 0033231145000 and make your own bookings.

Sorry about this but last year i had no problems making the bookings, french people for you.

Julian,

I rang the hotel IBIS and they haven't any rooms for Saturday. Any suggestions?

Cheers
Daniel

Julian · 16 June 2003, 14:49

Hi Daniel

I have found this website which list hotels etc in the town which may solve the problem for you.

I hope this helps. Any problems let me know.

Hi Julian,

Dylan and I are booked into the Hotel Continental: just round the corner from the IBIS as far as I can tell.

Their website is http://atel-hotels.com/gb/ if anybody else needs it.

Cheers
Daniel

Hi Daniel

Great news hopefully any one else who has any problems booking hotels can try this one as well. The whole town seems to be filling up fast at the moment. Its a very popular place to go.

I got into the IBIS for Friday night but Saturday is proving a pain.
I tried the above suggested link but I cant get in there either!!!
Now tried 6/7 hotels for 2 single rooms. Would pay the extra for 2 double rooms but cant find availability for that either.
Help anyone?

Julian · 18 June 2003, 10:41

Hi Brian

Sorry about this nightmare. The IBIS is now full. Just checked with them. I have found this link to more hotels. Hope it helps.

Afternoon Everyone

Just to keep you up todate with things. It now looks like were going to have a great crowd of people joining us on this event. My last count was 10 Ribs but there are still another 3 waiting to come back to me, If every one makes it we should have about 35 people. I will be posting waypoints on the site next week for us to use, Obviously this only applies to those leaving from the Isle of Wight area as we have 3 boats traveling via the channel islands.

All we need now is the weather.

Afternoon Everyone

As this event is drawing nearer now i thought i would post an update for you all. It looks like everyone has managed to find accomodation now. I have faxed the harbour master with all our boat info so we all have moorings etc.

Can everyone make sure that they bring with them their proof of insurance and proof of purchase for the boats as they are sometimes needed and that all those taking part are members of BIBOA.

During the cruise we will be using VHF CH 77 for comms etc. I will post the names of all boats travelling with us here on the site so you can get in contact with each other if you need to. I will post a meeting waypoint as well on Friday this week where hopefully we will all meet at the same time. Then its a case of 1st person to the bar etc.

Any questions please call either my self or Roger Lyas on 01732 866553 or my mobile 07747033506.

Look forward to see you all next friday.

Any chance of a list of the "Runners and Riders" with their boat names and mobile nos.?

Julian · 14 July 2003, 11:49

Hi Brian

I will be putting the list together either later today or tomorrow morning once i have finished collecting all the info etc. The weather forcast seems to be looking good so far.

I think Paul Lemmer and Simon are joining you in an Ocean rib too?

Richard B · 15 July 2003, 13:24

Has Simon named his RIB "Gung Ho"?

Julian · 15 July 2003, 13:25

Hi Charles

Ok thats no problem, I've not heard from Paul but it not a problem. The more boats the better.

Cheers

Julian
