How many of us are there for next Saturday's cruise in the end then??? I'm getting confused who's coming and who's not.How many are going down to the Southend air show on the Sunday????? Are we all meeting at Levington??? and at what time????

keithm · 22 May 2004, 10:23

I'll be there. Please forgive this very naiive question, but is this a child friendly trip?

Wayne Rogers · 22 May 2004, 19:44

Wayne Rogers · 24 May 2004, 22:40

I'll be there too. May not be able to bring a friendly child but will bring a friendly pal. Just in case my mobile is 07766 780739.

What does one wear on these occassions?
(only kidding - i've already realised on this forum that if you show the slightest sign of a weakness the vultures are cirling to have a little fun- all in good spirit of course!)

Wayne Rogers · 25 May 2004, 18:41

Can't make Saturday, fitting new Plotter/GPS/Fishfinder so that I don't get lost going to Southend on Sunday????.I take it we'll meet up at Levington at around 10ish? Look forward to meeting you all, should have a good day out and hopefully good weather to go with it.

and its still at 1130 am from levington on saturday

Phil Davies · 25 May 2004, 21:42

Dan, I don't think Wayne's coming. He's fitting a chartplotter on Saturday, but I think he's leaving Levington on Sunday for the Southend air show. This is all getting too complicated for me - I'm a man, I can't cope with two cruises at the same time

Wayne Rogers · 25 May 2004, 22:31

Don't worry Phil i'll be there Saturday i'll work through the Friday night to get it done if I have to, I'm not going to miss out on a good day's cruising.Plotter should be in tomorrow so i'll start ripping out my current gear tomorrow night, fit the new plotter on thursday night,Refit jockey seat Friday night and then i'll be ready for Saturday. SORTED

Sorry Daniel - (I think I've PM'd you but it's late and anything could have happened!?!)

Have a great time!

Phil Davies · 29 May 2004, 19:39

And here are some piccies of our very enjoyable Suffolk rivers cruise. Local boy WAYNE (caps lock) ROGERS led proceedings in his very smart Valiant Patrol 5.2m and was accompanied by his mate Peter in his 5.5m RIB (can't remember the make but it's of South African origin!), DanielTD5 with Bill and Bethany in their Valiant and me in the Searider.

Leaving Levington marina on the Orwell before heading out past Felixstowe docks and into the North Sea before altering course towards the River Deben.
