Bank Holiday Weekend Plans

[SimonP85]

What are people planning for the weekend?

We're really hoping the weather will allow us over to Cherbourg, surely we deserve a break, even for just 3 days!

After a long cold winter and a few rigging issues, we go in the water. Perhaps checking for leaks sums it up

Scottish Series at Tarbert Loch Fyne

 

[Scaramoosh]

We aiming for Cherbourg as well what is your boat? Ours is an Oceanis 37 Paw Buoy

 

[Contest1]

Isle o Mann, TT.

 

[Rivers & creeks]

Nice NW to take you there and Douglas will be sheltered. I miss the old place.

For us it's the Stour and Butley Creek with the Eber on full blast - forecast is average of 12c

Spain on Ryanair NEED some sun....

 

[Fergus]

Fly your scuttlebutt flag then we will know who is there! We should be there sat/sun

Isle of Man, Stour or Ryanair?

 

[Fergus]

Sorry - Cherbourg!

 

[Bobc]

Out of Portsmouth and turning left. Keeping a far away from the "Solent bunfight" as I can.

As they available still?

 

[SimonP85]

Ah ok, is there a Scuttlebutt cruise planned for this weekend then? Didn't realise if so.

We're hoping to leave around 12pm on Friday, Moody 346, Aquilo.

 

[Zagato]

Staying within Chichester Harbour for a Drascombe Rally - best place to be with this lot, always seen to have a hangover and ale coming out of one of the guys sink taps doesn't help! BBQ's & rounders on the creek when it dries out and the guys fire up their instruments for a few traditional sailing folk songs - good laugh, kids love it.

 

[FullCircle]

Finish cut & polishing, check and adjust the twin rudder alignment, service the Kiwiprop, throw on the antifoul, finish painting the bilges.

Ready for launch next week.

We're leaving from Portsmouth too and I'd prefer to be away a little earlier but unfortunately one of the group has to work a couple of hours Friday morning. Should hopefully still be able to catch the south bound tide down the IoW.

Weighing up between another few days on the Solent, or the East Coast or Dartmouth; I'll have SWMBO with me so need to hunt down the best weather, and then a train home to Brum for her on Monday afternoon. I probably won't have decided until 5am on Saturday.
