Drat .... Drat ................. If anyone looking for a crew place ?

[Guest]

It is most likely that I shall be looking for 1 person to crew with myself and SWMBO .....

I'm looking for someone who wants to have a few days around solent before the Get-together and of course be there for the party ..... I guess start on the Tuesday before party .... finish up on the Monday following the party.

What-ever happens ..... I'll be there !!!! with or without crew !!

Can you park boats? I will be cr@pping myself with my new one and may need someone to park it in Yarmouth for the meet /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

But I thought that's what friends err and insurance is for /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Not /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Surely you've realised by now it's never worth claiming on insurance /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Can you get launched and away before ?

Can you get afloat before the Yarmouth do ? Maybe we could have some fender bashing before Yarmouth ?

Re: Can you get launched and away before ?

I'm going to try and get down on the Friday, still waiting to see where the boat will be but would appreciate some practice before making a total @rse of myself in Yarmouth /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Re: Can you get launched and away before ?

Dont worry GC1, when I "park up" I will make you look good !

Re: Can you get launched and away before ?

But honest - as long as you approach pontoon / others at slow speed - then not much can go wrong !! Says he with smile on his face !!!!! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Re: Can you get launched and away before ?

I promise, you will both look like experts compared to me!!!

Re: Can you get launched and away before ?

Eeeeaaaaasssssssssy now
Im that bad that when I go out everyone else comes back in !

 

[GC1]

Re: Can you get launched and away before ?

I hope that because I am a small boat I am put next to a big posh one because then when they see me coming they will be all hands on deck with fenders out /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Re: Can you get launched and away before ?

I always put loads of large fenders out when you come alongside - no plans to change that now........... /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

 

[ChrisKaye]

Re: Can you get launched and away before ?

Thats a brilliant plan GC1 /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Im only going to only park up next to brand new boats from now on (as long as they're fully crewed up of course) It'll save me a fortune on fenders in the long run.

Just out of interest do they do "L" plates or flag for boats , just so people realise from a distance that there may be some "issues" to follow when you are aiming at the tiny bit of pontoon between them

Well - I shall be coming in \"one-up\"

First Crew - fell of ladder and injured shoulder.
Second Crew changed job and has to work.
Third Crew also changed job ....
SWMBO has sick horse and won't leave him.
Fourth Crew - wife has booked him and her to a hotel for friends wedding ...
Brothers booked to go to Greek Islands for hols.

So I'm not doing too well on crewing stakes ... Therefore I ask that if anyone is around Hayles Pontoons thursday / friday for the meet .... please fend me of from bashing the pontoon !!!!!

Re: Well - I shall be coming in \"one-up\"
