Emsworth slipper Crane out? This weekend??

[FairweatherDave]

I'm wondering if it has already happened or if it is scheduled for this weekend. Anyone know? Googling has failed me.
Apart from being a good spectacle it has quite an impact on activities on the Quay and I might be over that way (and getting very cold)

Yes it's Saturday 27th. First lift at 0745. Should all be done and dusted by 1700.

Thanks Windfall
Must be a raft of dried out bilge keelers ready and waiting! I've only seen it when there's been enough water to get to the dinghy chains.
Does it impact on the pontoon accessed from the sea/pond wall, ie do people use that as a waiting pontoon?Friday night?

Yes, any boat that can take the ground will be lined up Friday night. As far as I am aware it shouldn't impact the pontoon. The club ferry sometimes waits there but there's usually space for others.

That's great. Thanks for the information. Hope I'm there for a chilly night out!
