Always wanted to sail around the British Isles?

If so, take note that the Cruising Association is planning the 2005 rally to be a 100 day RGB trip, with midsummer's day in Scapa Flow.

Do you have to be a member and can you do legs of it?

We departed The Solent in April and have made it to Salcombe this season.

I wonder where they will pass us at this rate?

I think you need a boat, legging it isn't a good idea! /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

Re: Always wanted to sail around the British Isles

Yes to membership, yes to only doing certain legs.

Also proposed a clockwise and an anticlockwise group, meeting oop north, and two shortcut groups one for Millennium canal, one for Caledonian canal.

PS through Irish sea, rather than around Ireland.

Listen
If thats all you can come up with we'd better be writing to your employers about filling your time up a bit. No wonder it costs a lot to run a cooker nowadays. When I first started driving it cost 4/10d a gallon, bitter was 1/10d apint and mild was 1/7d mars bars were massive - which puts Marianne Faithful up there with the best of them and pansies were flowers. The caribou was where you went for a pint and a scrap and I'm not sure where any of this is heading....

I'm not sure my employer would do anything, he's a mate of Forbsie! Can you believe it I meet a giuy on the forum, who says do you know so and so, he works in the oilfield and guess what, yes! its my bluidy boss in Aberdeen! So now he knows what I do out here, so no pay rise for me! Bluidy forum, grump grump!

Solution my Son

Each time you post, give us a bit of weather info - anything will do but make it appear useful information for chairbound mariners.
This could then be identified as Really Useful Information and as such is just another Value Added Service given free gratis to Users of the Marine Environment.
For such services, the rigs get a good press - the boss gets his OBE and the very least the sod could do is give you a pay rise.
You just need to look at all the angles.

HaHaHa - OBE

Oh how proud his mum would be though.

Don't worry, Colin, I'll get him drunk next time I'm up and negotiate a huge rise and one week on/one month off rota. /forums/images/icons/cool.gif

I never like it when people make offers like this....I don't know why but I have an unpleasant vision of solids entering the air conditioning here.

Go with Challenge yachts Easter 2003, it only takes about 14 days. If you can get a place.

Re: HaHaHa - OBE

Yes the old manure in the overhead trick! I'll have a quiet word with Forbsie about this! The less he knows about what I do out here the better!

 

[claymore]

Is it not a block of flats or something now?

Re: HaHaHa - OBE

Come on, guys, what do you take me for? He may be a mate of mine but I'm not going to risk my best source of boat repair info, now am I?
