Solent - 25th / 26th Sept

[SteveHall]

Hi People,

I have finally found a bareboat rib charter company that have a RIB available when i am available

I am looking at being out and about on the Solent on the 25th and 26th of September and would like to meet up if anyone else plans to be (playing) out

Hi Steve,

We might be out that weekend. Will confirm nearer the time.

[SteveHall]

My only hope is that it will be Sunny and Dry!

That's a good weekend for us

Give us a shout nearer the time

I am after some good places to go and explore on the Solent, i am picking a rib up on Saturday the 24th and taking it back on Sunday 26th - Need a good place to stay over night, if anyone can recommend - Camping in the RIB

Do you know where i can buy a chart of the Solent over the Internet?

I've done the same so you can hold your head high!

BTW, are you familiar with the area? If not, the "Destinations" section on our web site may be of assistance.

gone for chart pack 24 & 25.

Should have them in the next few days.

Chart pack 24 should really give you enough information - with the other ones you'll know the area better than anyone!

I think the upper reaches of the River Hamble are great. Past the M27 Bridge.
Plenty of Marinas in the lower Hamble. Upper only reachable at high tide though. Beaulieu river is nice, again high tide for the upper reaches. Cruise liners to look at in southampton docks if they are in and you like that sort or thing. Poole Harbour/Brownsea island is nice too.

The best place to go would be Kelvin Hughes which are at www.bookharbour.com

I hope this helps
