If you want to go on the spreadsheet & receive a copy I need private e mail addresses (mobile nos would be good as well) for Krew2,tt65,mirror Image, Chrisie,and Solent Boat.

Sorry I made have had them previous years but they are not to hand at present. Please supply details asap and I will distribute spreadsheet circa Tuesday. If you have changed mobiles or e mail addresses and not let me know can I have your new ones please.

I will announce on here once I circulate the spreadsheet so if you have not received it somehow I had the wrong e mail address if you let me know I will correct it.

Can anyone remind me did we need to pre-select main choices for YC dinner last year? Please veggies declare yourselvers so that Fergus can get nos right for YC.

Hi SF,

Thanks you probably did its difficult to keeptrack of everyones latest post. Apologies

 

[KREW2]

We are 4 at the moment.

 

[SolentBoat]

Keep me down as a possible rather than a definite (ie don't book me in for supper).

A singlehanded crossing needs (a) perfect weather and (b) approval of said weather, boat preparations and skipper's general state of mind[1] by wife.

However, I remain optimistic!

Yes thanks - if I don't skive off work early on monday to go to SIBS (grandaaughters birthday in Kent last weekend) I will distribute 1st draught of spreadsheet.

Still no one has rectified my SAGA moment do I list menu preferrences before the event!!

 

[tt65]

Still hoping

I want to do this singlehanded and am feeling anxious. Any other singlehands going from Portsmouth? PM me for chat/mutual support.

 

[fireball]

Quite natural ... !!
There are lots of us going from Portsmouth/Chichester early Friday AM and we'll be listening out on CH69 ...

 

[SolentBoat]

Bugger.

Work has stymied my plan. Can't get out of the office and onto boat until lunchtime Friday.

Only you can decide based on weather, reliability of boat engine/equipment and your ability.

We went on a 3 month honeymoon cruise in 2004 to spain and SWMBO had to return early (either her daughter was ill in hospital or something wrong with my sex technique -need to check that out with 1st wife as well - yep daughter in hospital probably an excuse!!)

Anyway I ended up sailing back singlehanded on the 38' Dufour that we had then and sad person that I am I really loved the solitude and peace of sailing singlehanded. I set up a guard zone on the Radar and cat napped in the cockpit.
