It would be handy if I could have a mobile contact for you as well.
My number is 07811553925!
Our base will now be Cardiff Bay Yacht Club - see previous post.
Yes, you will be able to leave your boats in the water once launched - no need to recover each night to relaunch the next day.
On the Friday night - there will be another party.
On Sat : there will be an official blessing of the boat and crew at 12:00 - support from some ribsters would be good for this too, if you are okay with it.
Re water bus back and forth / or own boat for the Sat night. Looking at accomodating boats on side by pub - will let you know.
Anyway, hope this answers some querries.
Keep in touch.
Got Alan P and Steve down tomorrow for the w/end. Things are heating up!!
