Bank Holiday Get Together at East Cowes Marina

[prv]

I thought that over 8 boats (which I think we have) will get a free night.

Do we know if that has to be Sunday night, or is it some sort of credit for a future date?

Either way I'm thinking of going to Bembridge for Sunday night as I haven't been there yet in Ariam and the tides look right for the entrance for once. Then back round the corner for the cricket on Monday afternoon and home to Southampton after.

I'm hoping to get over for Friday evening. I'm calling the Lifeboat pub on Thursday to update them on numbers, I'll call ECM later today and post later this evening if they need any additional info from individual boats.
Be a brave man I think to forecast the weather for the weekend but is it safe to say it's looking almost reasonable?
If it is I can see the marinas bursting at the hammerheads...

They probably know that Dabchick needs a risk assessment and pilotage plan with tugs available for berthing, plus a fender or two!

Should also be there around midday also (from Seaview).

No call from ECM re berthing plan though!

Pete, any future date!

Jolly good - buy one get one free, that's a pretty good deal

There's a possibility I won't be leaving Poole till early Saturday morning as Friday could be a bit manic to catch the Bridge lifts and gather the crew.

 

[colhel]

Hi Tranona, are all 3 of you dining with us in the Lifeboat? I need to get a good estimate of numbers by tomorrow afternoon.

Just for clarification having looked at the list -- it's a total of two of us at the evening meal!

PS: seriously hope the Met Office has got this w/e right!

 

[Giblets]

Also a total of two only from Kalita for the meal.

Still no worries; I'd have quickly downloaded the "Storm Refuges in North Brittany" thread before checking the RNLI/Coastguard discussion to make sure I'd only said nice things

Yes, you will definitely want to get through the Needles before the tide turns tomorrow; cld be looking at 5kts peak! I'm coming from Pompey so will prob head over around the top of the tide.

Safe sailing and look forward to seeing you all tomorrow.

 

[Giblets]

Dom, keep an eye out for Kalita. We are coming from a mooring off Seaview. :encouragement:

(I warn you that SWMBO will be on board for the trip and is a tad competitive in the sailing dept! You may see a Moody 31 up on the plane!!!!!! :ambivalence: )

On pontoon A4 if anyone fancies a beer!
