Hi
Looks like I will be the only one launching from The Ship & Anchor Marina.
If I'm wrong and others intend to, the earliest we can launch is 9.00am.
If you are there before 5.30pm Friday you can leave your boat in their secure park if you are later or if you are launching at Littlehampton - best to keep your boat with you on site.
I intend launching at S&A at 9.00am(ish) depending on my alchohol intake the previous evening, say 30 minutes for the trip to Littlehampton to meet up with the rest of you. Hopefully you will be obvious to see by your sheer numbers but if not, Andre, can you give me some sort of landmark to look for? I seem to remember you mentioning a gas tower on an earlier thread?
What time do you intend leaving the harbour to meet those travelling from Solent etc?
We will probably break off coming back from Arundel as, apparently, it will be difficult to recover the boat at S&A later that 4.30pm. We will then join up with you for the evening meal at The Arun View.
Looking forward to this - just hope the weather is good
Martyn

Phil Chitty · 27 April 2005, 16:51

Martyn

Once you've launched at the S&A on the Saturday morning you will only need to come about half a mile down stream until you come to the marina.

I will send you a PM in a minute with my mobile number.

Give me a call when you come under the road bridge just before the marina and I'll guide you to where we'll be.

Phil

Noddy · 27 April 2005, 19:29

Thanks Phil
I will give you a call - what sort of time will we be going to meet the others at Selsey?

The Gas tower is a land mark for those coming from the sea and I think we should leave LAmpton about 10/10:30 AM to (meeting place for the welcoming party harbour entrance) meet up with the armada say 11 just off Selsy Bill. We are still to agree radio channel.

Is this time acceptable to those coming from the Solent?
Will you all be travelling in a group? Have to set a meeting place?
How can we ensure that no one is left behind?

Shouldn't we appoint a leader?

jackeen · 27 April 2005, 22:13

Sounds good Andre

Unless its changed since we've been away.

Post 134 and 144 is still standing regrding the solent muster which will tie in with meeting the Littlehampton posse at 11 at the Bill.

No one hs PMed me or indicated i think since then to say they cant make it at the locations.

quote from posts

"How about sub barrier main passage 10.17 and 45 seconds

Chister 10.34 and 35 seconds - west pole or another suggestion ????

I'll stick a map up if the consensus is ok"

Paul

Martin · 27 April 2005, 22:31

Okay with us. We will be at the sub barrier at approximately 10.17 and 45 secs

M & A

jackeen · 27 April 2005, 22:51

Andre · 28 April 2005, 09:15

Paul

many thanks and yes posts 134 & 144 still stand and now post 228

the welcome party will meet you all about 11 AM

I have booked the weather so please pack your shades and sun tan cream and no harm in taking your dry suits and woolly hat as well

and please remember we are having a picnic lunch so don't forget to pack your sandwiches and something to drink

any ideas on an agreed VHF channel

brucehawsker · 28 April 2005, 15:21

How long do I need to allow to get from Town Quay at Lymington to the submarine barrier? And how easy is it to find the gap in the barrier rasther than hitting it - given our recent history!

Thanks

Bruce

Sorry for the lack of posts - too much work interrupting surfing

We will be at West Pole at 10.34 and 35 seconds, give or take 5 mins with full tanks, a packed lunch, sun cream & waterproofs and will monitor Chan 77 now we have got the radio working again

Now that is the spirit and this is what one may say being prepared

hopefully you will not need the waterproofs

but no harm just in case

Phil Chitty · 30 April 2005, 13:41

Thats it on the advanced meal orders I'm afraid coz today is my last trip to Littlehampton before next weekend.

Those that haven't ordered in advance, not to worry because this was only done to aid Paul at the Arun View as we are such a big party.

Cheers all

Phil

Without being a pain, can anyone summarise where the solent meets are on each day, It looks as if I can cancel the 2 games I have booked and attend one of the days If I am allowed

Where is the meet for sat or sun and at what times?

Cheers

Andy

not so sure what you are on about. Has this something to do with the cruise to LAmpton cos this is a 2 day event you are most welcome to join for both or any one of the days. Please checkout the posts
