We are leaving Chichester harbour, past the bar beacon about 0530 on Friday for Cherbourg, anyone else on a similar schedule?
Anyone sailing to Cherbourg early Friday morning?

Slight change of plan SWMBO and I will skip St Vaast and leave direct for Cherb. Dep. 05.00 Friday from Southsea, so if your leaving from Chi bar at 05.30 we should be within a few miles heading out past Bembridge Ledge. We'll call/listen out on 16/69 which I think was the channel agreed. U r probably a bit quicker in your Etap so I guess you'll overtake. Otherwise C U Pontoon P

Given the current weather forecast we are also a possible re-schedule to an early Friday departure.

hope you can make it DUncan, it will be good to see you. your 2006 passage plan has already been achieved, I believe, so you won't be implementing it this weekend...... will you? /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

If there is a bit of moon showing and I can find my way down the Wareham channel without running aground, I will be leaving Poole about 03:00 Friday.

hehe - never got him (GC1) to the CIs let alone back as he was too busy faffing about with boats early in the year and August was pants for small mobos). I was over there in May and June fishing and currently plan to fish the Schole and Casquette banks for turbot Sunday on my way back to Poole..........if I am in any fit state after Sat night of course!
