Solent on Saturday 14th Dec 2014

Trevor G · 10 December 2013, 00:09

I'm out on Saturday starting from Southampton - probably on my own so if anyone else is out and about maybe we can meet for lunch..... Did I hear Whisper say he was up for a run to the Folly?

Yeah I was up for a late lunch in Cowes but I have a family member in hospital so everything is up in the air at the moment

I did ring the folly and they had tables available and you can order off the non festive menu without having to order food in advance

I'll let you know later this week

I am up for a trip out in Tigga on Saturday out of Southampton Water with lunch somewhere on the IOW.

Hi Trevor

What time are you thinking of starting from the SDS?

matt h · 10 December 2013, 16:27

This for me is hanging on to the fact that i have to find a Crankshaft sensor! if anyone has one for a 2004 Yam 60 two stroke.Please let me know..
Middle coil feed is non existent..wire goes into the ECU and i understand indirectly it is fed by this sensor!

Cheers

Realistically. I'll get there at about 10.30 and hope to be be leaving about 11.00 - maybe a bit after - so should get across to Cowes at about midday.

See you on Saturday

Keep and eye on the weather lads - bit of a blow coming in - might be windy earlier than predicted.

Yes so I noticed 34 kph. The last time I was out on NEVER BETTER the Solent was flat as pancake . This is going to be a good run

PeterM · 12 December 2013, 20:39

I'm watching the weather.....

If it's overly windy I may abandon journey....

Or if it's a bit breezy you could blat it up and down Southampton water which should be sheltered from a South westerly and we could then head up the Hamble to the Jolly Sailor for lunch.

It's got to be better than staying at home!

PeterM · 13 December 2013, 13:43

I'll be at calshot for 10.15 ish with white streak. Got a guy viewing it....

You on baby blue Trev?

No- I'll be in Blue Ray - I've not been out on her since the Cherbourg trip, so I want to see how many bits worked loose or fell off on the crossing!

Due to the long drive down and back home and the high probability that I would wimp out and say too windy and rough for me in an SR4 I'm not coming down to Southampton tomorrow. It's a shame as it would have been good to meet up with Trevor and Andre. I hope you guys have a great day on the water.

You can always hitch a ride in Blue Ray if you want a day out anyway.
It's handy to have someone available to paddle if the steering gives up (like when Pete came out with me last!).
