No other plans set, but happy to follow a real local.

Think the music is a ticketed event....

Channel 08 we've used in the past - Andy has problems counting past 10

Look forward to seeing you there.

The weather forecast for Saturday has improved

mhill · 01 June 2022, 23:58

I’ll be launching at some point tomorrow from lunchtime onwards at Mountbatten and heading to QAB along with my ballast.
I’m in a 4x4 so happy to help if anyone wants a hand dropping their boats in?
Is it worth having a WhatsApp group to coordinate dinner calls? I don’t always check on here but I do WhatsApp…

Likewise and likewise

Is the forum group MMSI still in use?

Day one of the Queens Platinum 10th annual Pasty Run weekender complete

7 boats left the Fort, 6 made the breakwater entrance. If anyone finds a Cobra rib, we're missing one!

Found two at the Eddystone and another late comer caught us up at Fowey. A great cruise in company, with a superb pasty.

The team ended up in a Greek Tavern being stuffed in meze and red wine to finish the day.

Salcombe today, if the weather behaves!!!

Obsidian · 04 June 2022, 09:15

Absolutely superb day yesterday, thank you Andy and for everyone who turned out. The weather was kind and Fowey was lovely in the sun, perfect flat seas on the way back

Not going to make it today, the 36kn (gusts up to F9) at Prawle Point makes the entry into Salcombe too hazardous for me. But the run along the coast should be fairly sheltered for those willing to give it a go

Looking forward to tomorrow, the forecast for the morning looks nice but we won't know until today's weather has blown through

lakelandterrier · 04 June 2022, 10:04

Great run yesterday, clocked up 119NM from Brixham & back.

Good to meet up with both pasty run stalwarts and new people.
Weather certainly kind.

Looking at weather this morning, glad we decided to run back last night and not stop over.

Large cliff fire raging on the way back between Bolt Tail and Bolt Head.

Enjoy whatever run yuo do today.

Saturday update. Delayed start.

It's getting better and looking like a departure will be happening once the cloud breaks

treerat · 04 June 2022, 11:15

Plan update. Afloat at entrance to qab 11.55. After the 12 o'clock salute to HM, we'll head off and see what the sea is like.

If it's OK, Salcombe is calling, if it's not we'll head to Weare Quay, which is up the Tamar and good for the tide we have.

I had what should have been good Gopro footage but a certain individual managed to turn the camera from video to continuous still photos

Is there a way of turning these into video clips?

Good news however:- as I had set the camera running as we left the dock, I DO have the footage of us stuffing the bow off St Mary's Bay and said individual getting their morning shower

Trust you got some ribbing in today.
