Easter Plans?

Assuming all goes well today Karouise will be afloat for Easter.

Can't come out to play on Good Friday as we have MIL coming for lunch.

Anyone planning to be about Easter Sat to Mon?

I thought I might fly off to Antigua for the end of Classic Week and then find a convenient boat to take me to Sydney in Australia via Panama, Easter Island, Tahiti and Tonga. I don't think I will be back by Easter Monday this year.
 
Full Circle will be haunting the Crouch and Roach for 11 days. We will also be launching Miniboat, so if you see a madman in a Walker Bay 8 sailing aorund, give us a wave..
Attending a Sadler Boat Fixing Convention on Saturday in Hullbridge I think....

How about Fambridge after the Sadler Boat Fixing Convention, folks, tide allowing?
 
Enjoy yourselves and think of poor old me working my socks off serving all the overnight travellers down the A14 (on my own both nights so working the night pay window which is a real PITA - constant trips to the drinks chiller over the other side of the store and constantly having to explain why I can't let weary travellers in to use the facilities. Hell, I'm not even allowed to step outside the door for a bleedin' fag break :()

Don't normally work Fridays to Sundays but somehow seem to have been lumbered with both Friday night and Sunday night over Easter ... it's a bugger really 'cos Friday night is triple time and Sunday night is 2.5x ... more toys for Brigantia I predict :D
 
Ah, but are you thinking of me sitting for hours in a car like a greenhouse and full of others 'greenhouse gases' wearing full PPE and playing on the laptop while we wait for the 'Go'

It's hot in here and our cars don't have aircon, to save money. If I drinK any more water I'll have to get out for a call of nature and that's not a good move!
 
We'll also be bumming around the Crouch for the week.... though home overnight on Tues to catch up on washing. On C11 in BYH if anybody wants to pop in for a hello.

I'll be there too Nige.

Engine extraction beckons next week so I have to do that and then prep the engine compartment to get the new lump in (neither a 5 minute job)

Plus have to refit the pullpit in the newly watertight foredeck and tackle the bowsprit fittings now I've devised a belt and braces solution for fixing the attachment into the deck (well with a bit of help from Glayva)

On rota, so will be out working on all weekend, and next, and one after:(.
Oh well, got to pay for Wild Otter somehow.

I wouldn't mind a short hop across to Ostend and back with Guapa, but I bet I'm working then as well!
