ECF events in 2015

[MoodySabre]

Sat 11th Walton on Naze (BST)
1034 0.8m
1654 3.7m

Early departure on Sunday or 'fight' the neap tide - maybe a lie in and creep out at Low Water!

You could get out of Bradwell by 0900 on Sunday and be off Holland-on-Sea by the change in the tide so just a small punch round the Naze and up with the tide. Of course it will be blowing a NE by Sunday following Saturdays SWly.

Quiet in the cheap seats

Sir! Yes sir. Permission to mutter quietly Sir!

 

[LittleSister]

Who's organising the weather?

Alternatively there will be no wind all day until you come into the marina when it will get up and blow from an awkward direction for ones allocated berth

 

[Sixpence]

Hang on, this isn't how it works! Normally, when I suggest a date everybody else piles in and says that date is no good!

Sorry, that date is no good

 

[Bru]

Sorry, that date is no good

That's better. Ta

 

[Sixpence]

Ewe's welcome

Who's organising the weather?

Hopefully not the same person as last year when only 2 boats made it!

My memory isn't what it was Peter, remind me again who the only two boats to make it were?

Errrrrr, can I remember that far back!

I think it was Erbas all the way from North Fambridge and Alchemist from somewhere else

Dunno about "all the way", an epic voyage it wasn't. Alchemist's trip, on the other hand, was fairly epic IMO!

Bradwell is good as last year's do was excellent and Gitane is there all ready.

I think Apogee also made it to Bradwell last year as well.

We could almost walk on a very low spring tide....

However the epic trip across from Tollesbury SHOULD be within our capabilities as long as the sun is shining and we have gentle winds

Apogee made it to Bradwell but that was the year before last

Can we follow you across, we haven't done that journey before. I haven't seen the creek for years, as it was zero vis fog when I came in in January

Gosh, yes it was two years ago. Help, where did the year go!!!

 

[Bru]

I think perhaps you need to take more water with it

Of course! Its pretty simple really just avoid the brown(er) bits.....

Will be down this Saturday to do some jobs, we can start planning

I have never succeeded in making it to any ECF events but the pictures suggest that they are fun.

Any remaining interest in a Boulogne trip?

They are fun. Come along. The last supper had 40 people of which 16 were first-timers. Cliquey we ain't.

CPD (Alan) came up with the Boulogne suggestion but no date has been suggested yet. I'm up for it. Alan's boat is in the Solent but we still talk to him!
