You can probably leave your cars and trailer in our yard also just this once!

Stu,

I assume the daniel you refer to is Top Banana Daniel and not DJL?? I would imagine me and other Daniel (DJL) would be up for launching at your yard. Saves having to drive around to Hythe. Just had a thought though, Daniel might want to leave the RIB in Hythe marina...I better PM him!

Cheers

WEST SOLENT GROUP

Hi there, its CND from Northern Exposure.

Just trying to put together a plan for the launching of our group from Lymington on Saturday. CJL is busy at the moment so if any of the Lymington
consortium could either ring me 07780 534239 or pm me and we can discuss meeting, launching, breakfast even if anyone has any plans?

Thanks Folks

Chris

Stu i'm having trouble with trailers and cars at the moment so have made plans to come round by sea friday / sat a.m. from Ramsgate (because we CAN, okay) although i have this evening borrowed a nice brand new snipe trailer for the w/end if i want to.

I'll keep you posted and still happy to pick you up if you are coming out to play. Is Billy up and running?

Maria Erla & Ingi Björn have packed their new drysuits (after sleeping in them for the first night

) so I need to do some packing myself tomorrow as our flight is Thursday afternoon for Heathrow.

See ye soon,

Thank Gawd the VHP duties haven't started this year yet - I can't imagine what it would be like trying to control you lot in and out of Pompy.

Have a good time folks - don't get too close the the front of any big ships though.

I will be there from 9am, as I have some faff to sort out!! We are in a big blue tornado. Call sign STING.

SDGANDER · 09 March 2005, 19:21

Looks as if we re going to have to drop out....

due to health probs I don't want to go into here - will update if situation changes.

MikeCC · 09 March 2005, 20:40

All OK for another boat to join the party?

If Rogue has any space left at his place, it would be great if I could launch there but if not I'd probably use a slip further down eg Warsash. (How is it looking there Stuart?)

Am I right that it's meet Calshot around 11.30?

Action Man · 09 March 2005, 21:48

T-minus 14 hours till Ian Austin myself and the missus are on the water on the way to the Solent Spin

The Jackeens · 10 March 2005, 07:24

SDGANDER truly sorry to read that . Hope all works out well and we wish you/yours good health.

MikeCC ...great news! Look forward to meeting ye also

DJL and Slimtim will look out for you. Calshot 11.30 it is!

Ian Austin, Action Man and g/f begin the cruise today !!!
All the way from Plymouth!!! We'll be checking in regularly and see you all in Portsmouth tonight

Wish you a safe and comfortable trip.

Bogib and family...safe flight to you

Will stick up a final edited list soon. Peeps who are around till Sunday will meet for a few bevvies and an inspection of a prominent local RIB Guru's kitchen

on Sat night

Then on Sunday a little run to the Needles perhaps with a stop off in Cowes this time? Looking at being on the water on Sunday by 12.00.

(BTW an instructor friend sends us all this reminder (especially relevant for novices like ourselves really). From a safety point of view we should cruise beside one another and never follow directly behind another boat for obvious reasons. )

Look forward to seeing everyone.
