Notice to Mariners : Please avoid the reeds at Calshot as The Garfish likes to hang out among the bulrushes taking potshots at all and sundry - recently bringing down a full tugboat.

That's excellent Neil! Some of us will be hanging around The Lightship from about 10.45.

Oh and RIB Nautibuoy has diddley eye music!!!

Planning to pick the boat up from the yard about 7am so should be at Camber about 10am, will need to give the bearings 1/2 hour to cool down so will launch about 10:30

All fueled and ready to rock'n'roll just got to attach me feckin big Irish flags to the back.

[slimtim]

Slight change of plan for us lot. I think we will try and meet the lymington posse (when are you chaps meeting???) then cruise up to calshot where we'll leave them to head to cowes to visit the flourist for mothers day. Might grab a beer quickly before flying back to yarmouth (anyone have any idea how to protect a bunch of flowers from a 35knot rib ride?! ).

Won't make it to the folly I'm afraid as we're riding bikes in the afternoon. We may well cross paths in Cowes though.

Now lymington chaps....when are we meeting?!!!

Apologies for errors and /or omissions. At least it's printable out now if you want to have a record of who's who.

Littlehamptoneers set off around 9.00.

Wind forecasted at a brisk F5. Not a day for the bikini Andre

Paul & Nauti are already on the water rescuing a yacht but hopefully they'll be back for snorkers and fried eggs.

Wearing green stuff and mad outfits is encouraged as is the playing of diddley-eye music and riverdancing (on pontoons only). Quaffing 'Irish Cappucinos' would be an ideal pastime for crew. Apparently there is also a Big Rugby Match or Two! Talk of 'staggered kick-offs' seems highly appropriate for the day that's in it

[Mark Halliday]

Sorry we had to cut and run. Natasha was not feeling comfortable in the chop. I could see no point in scaring her. She has been out in far worse, but with just me and her on board we decided to turn back.

I hope you all had a good trip, and we are looking forward to the next effort.

It is a bit of a shame as I had been cultivating a beautiful Greeun deck since December in honour of St Paddy himself.

[tim griffin]

Saw most of you go by impressive site .
Met Jimbo and nos 42
Said hi to Paul and Kathleen looking cool on Merlin

[Peter J]

Back home now. It was a bit lumpy in the solent, got a bit of a soaking.

Nice to meet all of you that I did meet and put faces to the names.

Many thanks to Paul and Kathleen for making me so welcome.

Here's a few photos

1.Paul pondering something in his Guiness hat.
