Guys,
The plan sounds good although no one seems to be able to decide on a day...sat or sun? daddy or chips?
Anyway, I may well be out to take some action RIB shots for you all, either in my boat out of Yarmouth (I will meet up with you all somehow) or out with Ray who has very kindly offered to take me (legend).
I will keep a close eye on this thread to see what the decision is.
Cheers
Tim

Good idea although I don't have my cert to use the VHF, but I will monitor channel 72

Hi everyone,
We will be out both Saturday and Sunday. The weather looks like light rain for Saturday and cloudy but dry on Sunday. F4 both days.
We will fit in with what everyone wants to do. We would be up for going round the island on Saturday but may not be able to go that far on Sunday.
It seems most people want to go anti-clockwise so one suggestion would be for Andre, Janet & Bill and Ray to meet up somewhere between Portsmouth and Bembridge and then continue on to Calshot/Cowes area and meet up with Steve, Peter J, Timboli, Roy and us? Depending on time (what time can you get out of Littlehampton, Andre?), we could lunch in either Cowes or Yarmouth then continue round the island, picking up Tim on the way?
Alternatively, we could all meet at St Helen's fort or the Nab Tower and then continue as above?
Alternatively...any more suggestions??
Looking forward to seeing old friends again and meeting new ones! 
P.S. It looks as if we might have a couple of spare seats on Blue Ice if anyone fancies it...

Hi Andre,
Excuse me if I'm missing something blindingly obvious, but why is better for you to go clockwise?

well that is simple , as I have 35 Nm to Yarmouth and if for any reason I am delayed then I would have a lot of catching up to do and would not be worth going. But if I were to go clockwise and everybody is going anticlockwise then we simply just meet up on route head on

So, if I'd understood correctly, you reckon the best plan would be for most of us to go anti-clockwise and you to go clockwise? Or do you mean that we all plan to go clockwise? (Sorry I'm being a bit thick today!!) My suggestion of going anti-clockwise was based on tidal streams, Ray's preference and I thought it'd make a change! I guess if we use the comms you have suggested we can, to an extent, play it by ear? Would be good to see you, in any case!!

No no you stick to your plan and once a meeting time has been confirmed say Yarmouth for the anticlockwise group I will then this evening post my final decision whether will join you or meet up with you on route
Janet & Bill what are your plans?

Hi Everyone,
I am new to this site, only joined yesterday, but wish I could have joined you all on your trip round the Island. I love the Solent and Isle of Wight and try and get down for a couple of holidays with the boat every year, usually keep the boat while down that way in Lymington Yacht Haven.
Have a great trip and hope to see some pictures of your trip on the site.
Best Regards
Graham

Welcome Graham,
We'll make sure we take a few pictures! I've just looked at yours (through the link to your homepage) and you seem to like visiting the same places we do. Look forward to meeting up some time and cruising together!
P.S. Thanks for your good wishes.
P.P.S. - Steve - you started this whole cruise so we'll go with whatever channel you say. Looks like it's 72 then!

We are planning to be out on Saturday only. Launching from Chichester, not sure on time, but probably mid-morning best as it takes us a while to get down the channel from Chichester. What about meeting around the forts say 11am (Rib net time! ). Or is this too late - we can get up earlier if needs be!!!
Will monitor Ch. 72 (call sign "Juno") & prefer to go with the tide, i.e. anti clockwise.
Louise - We will also PM our mobile number to you.
Janet & Bill

Hi Roy, sorry we're all being a bit vague!! We have made tentative arrangements to meet with Janet & Bill by the forts off Bembridge/Portsmouth at about 11am on Saturday. That should give us enough time to get to Cowes or even Yarmouth for lunch and then continue round the back of the island. How does this suit you (and everyone else)?
Tentative plan:
*All meet at forts (St Helen's?) at 11am Saturday.
*Lunch in Cowes or Yarmouth depending on whether we're late, sea/weather conditions and how hungry we are!
*Continue round island. If we havent already called in Yarmouth, call in on the way to meet up with Tim.
Comms on Ch 72.

The inshore waters forecast is this:
Selsey Bill to Lyme Regis.
24 hour forecast:
Wind: northwest backing west 4 or 5.
Weather: rain later.
Visibility: good.
Sea State: slight or moderate.
I'm not happy with skippering my boat on such a (for me) long trip in F4 and F5. So I think I will give it a miss.
Pity because I was looking forward to it if the weather was nice.
I might take her out from Warsash for an hour or so to get a bit of choppy sea experience so I might see you go by.
Hope you have a happy and safe time.
Peter.
