Old Harry & Lulworth(?) Cruise

Louise · 18 July 2004, 22:19

Some of you have expressed an interest in a midweek cruise so thought we'd start the ball rolling with a suggested date of Wednesday 11th August. How does that sound Andre, Mike C, Phil, Bruce and anyone else who might fancy it?

Phil Chitty · 18 July 2004, 22:25

Hi Louise

I would love to join you all but I will be away on my summer hols until the 16th August.

Hope all that go on this one have a fine time and the weather holds off.

Take plenty of pics.

Phil

Mike C · 19 July 2004, 18:25

That suits me, (weather permitting of course) My wife, Sheila and I are off from the 2nd to the 11th August with the time put aside especially for boating in good weather, so anything the previous week would be OK too!

Mike

Andre · 19 July 2004, 20:54

We have pencilled it in and weather permitting could leave Littlehampton early in the morning to meet up with you say Cowes/Yarmouth

Mike we can discuss this during the weekend of 7/8 August

Louise · 19 July 2004, 20:59

Good news, Mike & Andre. Sorry you can't make this one, Phil. It just means we'll have to organise another one for later on!

If anyone else is interested please post here or get in touch. Nearer the time we can arrange meeting points, comms, etc.

Looking forward to it and seeing you again.

Louise, as you know,we would love to but will be in Devon,however if there is another......
To hijack the post for a second
Does any one know if John Kennett is around and if not when he will be?

Ribing to Lulworth has been one of my goals,so if its not to busy at work might be able to bunk off,(bet you think i am the phantom riber) have got a RIB honest! Ray

Pete7 · 20 July 2004, 09:08

Could be up for this as well, fancy a sports afternoon (day).

Fingers crossed on the weather.

Pete

Louise · 20 July 2004, 09:57

Good news Paul, Sue & Tim, Pete7 and the 'Phantom RIBster'!!

So that's 2 cruises to organise. As I said before, I'll post more details nearer the time for the Wed 11th Aug cruise.

Those who want to do the second cruise - anyone want to post a provisional date? Midweek again or weekend?

aligator · 20 July 2004, 23:03

Hi Louise
we will be out and about subject to weather on the 11th and would like to join you and others on this trip if thats ok, if so can we arrange a meet at old harry.

Alistair

Louise · 20 July 2004, 23:07

Great Alistair - the more the merrier!

Meeting at Old Harry would be fine - not sure of timings yet - will work out nearer the time and post. Where will you be coming from?

Neal · 21 July 2004, 18:57

Hi Louise we would love to join this one as the boat is now ready

but will be away like others, if you do another one would love to join you all.
Have fun and post some pictures we love that part of the coast.

Neal

Louise · 21 July 2004, 19:05

Hi Neal,

Glad to hear your boat is sorted and looking forward to seeing you on the water.

It looks like there are going to be two cruises to that part of the world - one on Wed 11th Aug and another at a slightly later date for those who miss the first. No-one has suggested a date for the second one yet - care to put one forward?

Hope to see you soon.

aligator · 21 July 2004, 20:28

Alistair

The Warners · 25 July 2004, 11:32

iain and I would love to join up with you guys, we're berthed Lymington. We are fairly new to RIBbing so welcome chance to at least set off with you all!

Rosie

mstacey · 25 July 2004, 18:40

Hi Louise,

Would like to join you on your jolly to Lulworth.

I'd launch from Lymington, simply 'cause I know how to get there with the car and trailer

Louise · 25 July 2004, 23:49

Brilliant - this is shaping up to be a good cruise with around 9 boats (if no-one has to drop out!) so far.

Welcome to the forum Rosie & Iain. Looking forward to seeing you.

It'll be great to see you again, Martin, too. And we haven't forgotten that we owe you a drink for those Boat Show tickets.

Some of you have already PMed me regarding contact details. If anyone is going to be away from their computers in the week before the cruise (say from 4th Aug) please PM me a 'phone number so I can get in touch.

Provisional Departure Details

Meet in vicinity of Yacht Club Starting Platform, Lymington, (at the entrance to Lymington River - a hut on stilts- adjacent to no. 1 starboard channel marker) and be ready to leave at 10.30. Comms on Ch 77.

Andre & Mike C - tides are favourable for you that day.

But if you (or anyone else) would prefer a different meeting time please post or PM me.

Looking forward to seeing you all!

Hi Louise

The tide is fine for us . HW LAmpton on the day is at 8:43. Plan to leave
