I am sure there will be enough of us to meet up again in in the Fountain Hotel.

Lets see who is going at then set a time to meet up. Say 4-5pm for those of you who get real thirsty

Cheers.

Good choice Kevin cos as it happens I have a room at the Fountain

[Cookee]

Good news - BananaShark are fully paid up and will be there with both the leisure and race versions of the boat - I have a funny feeling we might be busy!

Look forward to seeing a few of the familiar faces there!

Jon, just let us know which room you are staying in and we will be the soul of discretion, as we burst in at 3 am with fire extinguishers blazing

Pete

3am wake ups I can deal with, its the bar bill that worries me!!

Regards

[Daniel]

30 min is plenty time. Towards the bottom of the river, once you are round the corner, you can crack-on a bit just keep an eye out of HM dory and if caught plead ignorance of speed limit Des

In the Fountain Inn Friday Night around 20:30 North Islanders welcome please bring passports

[John Kennett]

I'm probably going to go on Saturday.

If anyone is planning to go across from Portsmouth for the day, can I hitch a lift please?

John

[brucehawsker]

We aim to go across on Saturday - probably a fairly early morning launch. Could swing by Portsmouth if you needed a lift JK. PM or phone me nearer the time - think you have my mobile number.

I am working on attending Saturday morning, am trying source accomodation in I.O.W. Saturday night not looking promising at the moment though.

We intend to leave our coast at 04:00 next Thursday and try to make it in one day.
Depending on the weather the trip will take somewhere between 12 and 16 hours.
Refueling is not neccesery. We take 250 liters each boat and hope to use 175 liters on the way.
Starting from Holland to Calais and crossing the channel to Dover and all the way to the solent.

Would be nice to meet some of you on the Ribbex.

Dan.

[Daniel]

Danny stay in touch... do you have an ETA Dover?

I would be interested in cruising down from Dover if i can change my plans for that weekend - when are you heading back?

[Daniel]

Bogi, try "Busigny Guest House" 01983 292919 I've stayed there and it's a short walk from Cowes.
