Early Summer Medway meet (at Southend Airshow)

[Nauti Fox]

Who's going then?
Lets show these East Coast Forum wide boy rabble how its done eh! and see if we can get two boats within 10x50 binocular range.
We'll be setting off from our executive moorings at about 08.00 Chatham time following anyone that looks like they are heading sort of Southendish way and will keep a good lookout for Fred going in the wrong direction, towards Maidstone probably.
Hoping to go on Sunday but if the weather Gods decide Monday will be nicer we'll go then.

We are planning on going on the Sunday if the weather is OK. Monday if it's not. Probably do a bit of fishing at the same time. I might spend saturday night in Stangate as I won't be able to get out of my berth till about and hour before HW.

 

[Nauti Fox]

Hopefully see you out there, I think we are aiming to be to the west of the pier.

just after lunch.
And those tides look spot on for cheapskates like me ebb out and flood back.

 

[ningram]

Sounds good to me - if re-launch and 1 or 2 other things work out ok. Sunday preferable. Will give you a ring during the week.

Cheers

Fred, couldn't help noticing the improvements they've made to your pontoon.

PS Anyone with air-band radios, the frequencies are:
Approach frequency 130.775 MHz. Tower frequency 127.725 MHz Departure ATIS frequency 121.8 MHz.

 

[Stoaty]

I spent 2 hours searching the internet for those frequencies and they turn up here.

Met Office forecasters are predicting a change to cold, wet and windy weather during the bank holiday weekend. Saturday looks like being a fine day before heavy rain, strong winds and much colder weather sets in for Sunday and Monday – affecting plans for travel and outdoor activities.
