Will be there cash permitting-it's unfortunately just after Honda finish their 2 month production shutdown so we may be a tad short of money as they've been my major contracts over the past few months.

Looking forward to it already Matt, May has been pretty good the last few years,so fingers crossed! sure you'll enjoy the 'je nes e qua' of the 'Fraggle rock' as well as all the other delights the Scilles have to offer.
How many places can you order a fresh Lobster from the farmhouse enroute to the boat 200yds away and pick it up later,still kicking or.. cooked and, not break the bank!? All about quality of life.hope to see the useual suspects along for this one,you know who you are!
LIVE LIFE TO THE MAX -CAUSE NO ONE GETS OUT ALIVE!

From the photos' it looks a great place Matt. Sadly I woudn't be back in time for my boy's 2nd birthday. Hope you all have a good one

Nasher · 16 January 2009, 17:48

Matt

Will pencil it in as it sounds like a great idea.
I'll need to see how things are going nearer the time, but it would be quite an adventure for the smaller Nashers as well.

Nasher.

Hi Gnasher glad to hear your up for a jolly,be good to see you and the 'Gnasherettes'!Keep your eye on the thread for more info.

doggypaddle · 16 January 2009, 19:10

I would definetley, but i fear its too near the due date of the baby, and sods law dictates...............i would be in the dog house for ever and ever if i was all at sea when it arrived, I would end up with a chart plotter where the sun dont shine

possibly with the boat attached.
never been there but it looks great, sort of tropical

maybe next time or for my 40th in april 2010

Ian M · 16 January 2009, 19:35

Matt, I would love to join you and company, especially as I have had a number of great diving trips to those islands, but unfortunately I will be in Turkey when you are out enjoying yourselves

I'll have an extra sip of brandy in your honour whilst sitting in the cockpit (yep I'm afraid I will be rag and sticking with the family for two weeks - into every life a little rain must fall

)

Nos4r2 · 17 January 2009, 00:36

Following the latest news from Honda, looks like I won't be there

JSP · 17 January 2009, 02:32

I thought of you when I heard. 4 months isn't it? Sorry mate

Cheers.

It happens. What really riles me is that the production line numpties are getting a full wage for 3/4 of the shutdown-but all the suppliers appear to be being just dumped and left to go under. There's probably 4 times as many work supplying that plant than work there.

matt h · 17 January 2009, 08:30

oh sh-t sorry to hear that dude, keep looking for some other stuff chap!!

Nasher · 17 January 2009, 09:22

Bad news Nos

Nasher

Colin F · 18 January 2009, 14:18

I'm keen for this if the weather is good.

Downhilldai · 18 January 2009, 14:30

So am I

matt h · 18 January 2009, 16:15

downhill, it would be great to meet you, Colin also,

Downhilldai · 18 January 2009, 17:08

You to Matt

Problem is, I have a gained myself a reputation for jibbing out of trips to the Scillies. Perhaps I should have made a New Year Resolution
