Neil Harvey · 15 October 2008, 16:32

me - subject to work not interfering again!

And Nos - he's aching to get out.

Nasher · 15 October 2008, 16:34

I'll chuck that drysuit onboard for you to try. I'll be launching at Warsash now (tides are right) so don't hunt for me at the Camber!

Pete7 · 15 October 2008, 20:37

Weather looking better for Saturday, are we going if so where and when ?

Pete

Hightower · 15 October 2008, 20:48

I hope to! Am feeling under the weather right now, so will have to see what happens there.

Boat Jumble on Sunday at Victoria Country Park if anyones interested.

thanks Nos

Nos4r2 · 15 October 2008, 23:25

Is there anywhere decent to eat in Yarmouth now or do people fancy a change?

Hightower · 16 October 2008, 01:11

Could always do Christchurch? Poole isn't a bad idea either if the weather is good.

PeterM · 16 October 2008, 08:50

Christchurch tides should be good for any time of arrival during the day. The pub on mudeford quay has always been good for me. And you should be able to pull up along side the quay wall for nothing.

Tim M · 16 October 2008, 12:13

What time is this leaving? Weather's looking pretty good, and it's my birthday this weekend so I'm going to spend the whole weekend having fun

Steve_B · 16 October 2008, 12:44

Am up for this one.

I will even have Nos's Rough Weather music on .......

Could we agree on some times and places as for the earlier cruise.

I'd be interested in joining in as my first Ribnet 'social' (subject to permission from Mrs A who will need to stay at home and act as chauffeuse to the little Avocets).

With spring high water due for Folly at 14.06 BST on the 18th, it should be possible to get all the way up the Medina to Newport for lunch. which I have never done before.

I have never been there (only been about half a mile above Folly) but there seem to be a large number of pubs for the size of the place of which several are recommended.

What do people think?

Tim M · 16 October 2008, 16:37

I'd be up for that; never been past Island Harbour

Nasher · 16 October 2008, 16:41

I've never been past the folly by boat.

A visit to the classic boat museam would be good if tides are right.
I've been once before when I was on the Island by car and think its well worth a visit.

Avocet · 16 October 2008, 17:16

I'll check with Mrs A when I get home but, subject to that, how about a RV at 12.41 at western entrance to Cowes?

I'll be coming from Poole so can RV with anyone from there, Christchurch or Lymington beforehand.
