Solent trip round the IOW July 16th

[Cpt Parker]

Hi all I'm new to this thread but we are planning to join you on the trip tomorrow if that's ok. Plan A is to Slip Northney in time to rv convoy off Bembridge. can anyone tell me if a vhf chanel for the trip has been agreed, as this will make locating the fleet more straight forward. Gary

So much for monitoring Ch72 & 16 HJ Tried to call you on both soon after you crossed from Camber to Ballast this morning but no reply

[Searider]

Many thanks to Bedajim / Ziggy for their help in our hour (three hours actually) of need.


Cheers

Great day out. I attach a few pictures of some of the RIBs rounding the Needles.

Sorry

my son decided to turn the volume down and i did not notice until later on, he was thinking he was being helpful!

Bedajim was the hero of the day, was the smallest boat of the crowd but kept up with everyone no trouble, we had a few rough patchs in places and a short stretch of orrible stuff just round st.catherines point with some large holes and quite rough for our little kids, he shot thru all that rough stuff no probs.

but

Bedajim wrapped up the day by towing home a boat with engine gremlins.........

Man and Woman and Boat of the Day goes to Bedajim ....James and Caroline

well done you two and hope you got home safe
