beach BBQ. July-Aug

[ianainge]

Continuing the theme of all getting together for parties i.e Newtown Creek Revival i was discussing organising a beach BBQ around July August time with some berth holders at my marina and got a positive reply.Venue Sandown Bay Isle of Wight the eastern side is usually quite deserted as its a long walk from the main beach itself.Very good anchorage and very sheltered unless its an easterly.

Format arrive Saturday 4.00pm let the sunbathers go home or get there earlier, see us arriving on mass should help clear the beach.Anchor , launch tenders, nice sandy beach to land on.Take a couple of light weight tressle tables,if everyone takes a large disposable BBQ, some meat , booze and a salad/pasta/whatever dish, then lay the whole lot out nominate a couple of cooks, job done.

Take some music,football ,volley ball net etc if the weather allows we could stay there for the night.

any other suggestions welcome. who`s up for it?

Sounds great to me. Went to Shanklin a couple of times last year, used one of the many mooring bouys provided. Had lunch, sunbathe on deck, etc, and back same day. Fantastic location (if sun is shining), and would definately be interested in coming along.

Re: err don\'t you mean

Arrive 4:00pm saturday
sunbathers nowhere to be seen in the eye of a building F5 easterly that has brought the rain with it
proceed to get lightly drizzled whilst pumpint up dinghy
whilst swmbo gets stuff out of fridge
get into dinghy as wind builds knocking up spray and chop and that wets everyone as you go ashore

try to get a halfhearted football game as wives struggle to light Barbeques now situated under the trestle table to give it a chance to light

football disappears over horizon at first kick as noone had brought a proper one

barbeque now alight, as is trestle table.

pasta salad has is starting to fill with water as someoen throws bucket over wrong trestle table.

The gazebo someone brought heads same way as football.

everyone tucks into pasta salad and decides to just open the beer and get on with it.

that is what our family picnics to the creek ( not newtown) where like
