Kevin (A.Y) and Joyce and possibly Andre/Wiesia? are also coming out on Saturday...leaving ECA with Ribald around 9.30 - 10.00; hopefully acquiring us with Zebedee passing Pompey and then on to see QM2 ...then lunch and home again !!!!(weather permitting etc.)
So with possibly Hairybear, Ribtickler & gang and maybe some returnees might be quite a crew...
Anyone else interested? Pete 7 what are you up to ? Waver...you back yet? R&L put away the Stella & come back...!!!! Any of you NWR around? How about the Bosses?

Is QM2 going to be at her berth, the Lunchtime Meridian News reported two people in Hospital which involved transfering the two unluckly people at Sea. Which indicates QM2 still might be at Sea tomorrow.

Weather Permitting we shall be out tomorrow.

The Jackeens · 02 January 2004, 16:39

What time are ye leaving Hairybear?

Paul

hairybear · 02 January 2004, 17:07

Hi Paul

We had planned to leave Northney 10:00, will be monitoring Channel 77. Should meet up on route to QM2 if she is there.

Still plan to test the beer in a few of the watering holes in Cowes afterwards.

Kevin.

The Jackeens · 02 January 2004, 17:13

Great...and Brian Whiteshoes may be out too...

We'll be coming out of Haslar so may link up with you coming out of Pompey...

Kevin, are you coming down through Langstone Hbr or Chichester. Self and Aging Youth will be launching at ECA around 0930

Ribald · 02 January 2004, 17:32

I have just ahd a word with the S'ton Harbourmaster who has said the QM2 is due to sail tonight @ 1800h and will not be back in until the evening of the 4th (Sunday). She's then out again and back again during the coming week and as far as they are aware she will be on her berth from the 6th to the 12th.

The best laid plans of mice and men.........

Perhaps Missus could have a word and use her new found influence to get them to delay the trip tonight for us.

RIVA · 02 January 2004, 17:35

go to associated british ports web site see sothampton passanger ship movments for dates and times thats accurate

We could still rendez vous at Cowes and spin to Yarmouth?

Jackeen & Missus

(By the way Mr. 2 my influence counts for nowt even in the 'any old tosh' section temporarily allocated to me on Boatmad!!!!!!!)

Oh you're on the phone now...update later folks!!!!!

Aging Youth · 02 January 2004, 17:47

Hi All,

That is typical, Although the trip tommorow is still on, try a different venue once we have met up with everyone.

Hairybear, you should have enough water to come down under Hayling Road Bridge and up to ECA via Langstone Water, will save you quite a bit of time.

Once clear of the old railway bridge you can get on the plane keep it to a minimum and follow the channel bouys.

Paul & Kathleen will meet you on the way out of Pompey Harbour, will call at 10:00 on Channel 77.

see you all tomorrow.

The Jackeens · 02 January 2004, 17:52

Cheers Kevin (AY) you have our mobile no. and so has Peter and Hairybear& gang...might be a blast to do Cowes / Yarmouth & meet up with Whiteshoes...are you back Waver?

K&P

(By the way remember we're slow especially in big wavelets!!!)

Ok you're on the 'phone now...

The Jackeens · 02 January 2004, 18:03

I notice that none of those northern wusses are coming down here this time also.

Paul

Ian · 02 January 2004, 18:28

That's 'cause we knew the bloody thing wouldn't be there. Don't you wusses have TV down there???

Hey Paul, the Missus editing your posts? lmao

The Jackeens · 02 January 2004, 18:29

Missus
Yes, editing...scared of you lot

hairybear · 02 January 2004, 18:30

What time is everyone meeting at Cowes?

Leaving at 10:00 we should be OK for leaving via Langstone, keeping it on the plane

See you all tomorrow somewhere in the Solent.

Kevin (HB)

The Jackeens · 02 January 2004, 18:38

Hi bear,

We should be outside portsmouth around 10ish am with the reast of them. Why not meet outside Pompey

So when we do set off from there to Cowes for you should be 4 minutes the way you motor

Aging 4 hours with andre crewing !!!!!

Whiteshoes and Rogue Wave will be setting off from Soto at the same time.

ANYONE ELSE INTERESTED
