Roight,

Should be launching around 10 (ish), pop over to Cowes for some fun juice then right up the Western via Gurnard - Beaulieu - Newtown and any other which way we can go at speed.

First test of the new puppy... eh hehehe

[Steve_B]

Our plans are still to leave the drystack at 10.30, so should be OK for Hurst.

Will be passing Calshot/Cowes around 10.45ish.

May have a few seats available at late notice (late Sat) if anyone would like a late invite?

Steve

PS private pleasure trip, not commercial

As Dizzy has some covers off to be re-upholstered we'll be with Jon in Ocean Devil (at least that's plan "A"), rather than in Dizzy.
See you all tomorrow.

Eh hehehe,

Tis not a Sea Rider, that's still tucked away under the blankets and needs a little work.

All go for today, leaving home at 09:30, Calshot by 10:00 and then launch and fuel up....

Will keep an eye and ear out whilst prepping in case anyone goes flashin past

[Zippy]

fingers crossed for next time!!

Doh! sorry Pete. 100 lines... must not assume!

Hope you are all having a good day folks!

[Channel Ribs]

There is a harsh cold wind on this side, I hope everyone wraps up warmly.

[PeterM]

I'm back , delayed slightly trying to tow a yacht off a bank in the harbour ( and failing) . A lumpy run from Poole to Yarmouth - stunning and flat at the Needles & hope Steve has some good shots. As always good lunch in the wheatsheaf & like a differant day for myself & Grimalkin on the way back to Poole - touching 47knts on the GPS , as opposed to 25 ish on the way out.

A great first run of the season shakedown for the boat , and it really was shaken at points !

Pete

[PeterM]

The only 2 pics I managed to get myself , but playing camera boat was good fun so I'll be interested to see what come out of the others

RN out practising something & 250

I have some video coming out of Poole Harbour - right up to when the mount snapped ..... I'll see if I can get it edited abit later.
