East Coast Sailing - blatant scrounger of sailing trips!

[suse]

I ve just come back from 2800 miles round Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and E coast US - you might just have caught me posting occasionally recently (!), and if you want a long read, try www.susysrunningawaytosea.blogspot.com. But I m not looking for that again at the moment ... just some toodling around on the East Coast, maybe further. I m currently marooned just outside Cambridge.

My sailing credentials are: all RYA sailing theories + dayskipper practical; several decades sailing - still learning, as ever ...; former owner and skipper of a Nab 35 based at Ipswich - how I miss that boat; done boat deliveries to Baltic + lots of x-channels to France, CI, Spain; S China Sea (gotta slide that one in) sail and dive. Diving: BSAC Instructor.

I sail, dive, cook, swab decks, scrub hulls, navigate, scramble up wharfs, tie knots, steer, and if you dont watch out - sing. NO electrical, engine or spinnaker abilities - you have been warned. And I ve been known to stop talking for hours on end ...

PM for contact details.

Fussy eaters and teetotallers need to find other avenues I am afraid....

Good to see you Saturday evening - thanks for bringing the Newfoundland piccies. (and the wine - hic!)

[/ QUOTE ]hah.... think of that cruel dig when you are freezing your wotsits off scraping antifoul...... mind you, if we don't sell the house quickly, I might be down there helping just to be near a boat... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Anyway, back on subject.....

Susy.... count on it as a certainty that you'll be offered a place on the replacement for Magna Carter..... you never know, there might even be a delivery trip!

PS.... will second T25's endorsement.... a weekend with the jolly crew of FullCircle is an opportunity to not be missed!

If you get stuck Neil , buy a cheapo static home and I'm sure we can find room for you

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Thanks for that generous offer Dave.... i'll bear it in mind.... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

<<If you get stuck Neil , buy a cheapo static home>>

Blimey Dave the Beneteau 411 isn't THAT bad....

 

[Sixpence]

No , but we have got a spare spot he could go , it's not too close to the pig pen

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

the pigs really wouldn't like that very much.....

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

I might even be able to get a mobile home with lifting wheels.....

There you go Neil , get the woodworking tools out

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Oooh..... i'd have to start buying old gaffer magazine.....

my sort of car though.... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

imagine the radio 2 traffic reports..... long tailbacks on the M6 today after the reported F4 failed to materialise...

Meanwhile on the A1, the southerly winds have caused a large influx of visitors to Newcastle, and inconsiderate tacking has caused a major pile up just outside Hatfield...

We are often doing light racing and demo sails on the Crouch. Welcome to join us.
