Round Anglesey Ribnet Cruise August 2011 incorporating Moelfre lifeboat display

[HUMBER P4VWL]

Well after the apparent success of the Easter cruise , many seem to want to do a round Anglesey in August, but not a bank holiday.

Bank Hols are 29th.

So Sat 20th? If enough of us.

Menai Bridge/Porth Daniel start again.
High tide is 3.37pm which lets us go through the bridges at say 12-12.30pm, around half tide, then follow the incoming tide clockwise around the island for the most part.

Its about 80 miles depending on how many bays you enter. So at the last cruising speed of about 23mph (sorry, not in nautical but heh, that's me) plus stops and lumpy sea by the stacks and lighthouse guaranteed, I'd say 5 hours?!?!

Gazelle on the Sat night once more!! Sure i could organise a discount for Ribnet if people want it!

So who is up for it??

Count the kerny's in I've told the wife to start saving. For the ale that is.

[HUMBER P4VWL]

is that because you owe us all a beer for being the first to run aground?! (neil m can pay for 1/2!, your navigator/guide that day)

[kerny]

Not funny I think neil m (mr navigator) should pay for all.

I'll make a contribution, but only if you do it again , I did point out it was getting shallower, still funny now, and anyone who says you can't walk on water is an out right liar, we all saw you lol.

Count us in, wouldn't miss if for the world, bad weather however would be another thing.

That's a shame bradosh! No chance of getting the day off? If I get a chance to get out before Aug I'll pm you. Though with work unlikely. Tony seems to be about much more to be fair.
