In 2008 I will finally...

[Dyflin]

Well for us it will be anchoring overnight, maybe a night passage if the weather is kind, but I'm such a sleep addict that this idea doesn't really appeal to me /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

What about others?

 

[MoodySabre]

Both of the above are on my list. Done them on other people's boats and worried not! Night sailing is great.

Ostend trip with East coast crowd is also planned which will be a first.

Top of the list is to stop my bilges from filling up with water!

Anchoring overnight is great but night passages are best done this time of year when you can sail 5 hours in the dark (if you really want to)and still get ashore before the pubs shut. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Koeketiene]

Something more ambitious than the usual family summer cruise.

If I can get the time off (big if), these are the front runners:

First choice or very acceptable second choice

 

[graham]

Triangle Race sounds good,the stop overs should be entertaining /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

If you do the Bergen race at least there wont be any night sailing.

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

To extend SWMBOs experience beyond her current 24hrs passage to perhaps 36 or 48hrs... which will achieve my other ambition, which is to get down channel to the CI or perhaps to Brittany....

 

[Novice21]

Sail my own boat! Hurray!

 

[sailorman]

wot are you on about /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
no night sailing /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

 

[Dyflin]

High latitude midsummer sailing (land of the midnight sun and all that?).

 

[Athene V30]

Like Moodysabre I want to stop the bilge in my boat filling up too.

Plan to take my boat up the Thames.

Nothing too adventurous, that is planned for 2010 when I am taking the summer off to cruise to the Scilly Isles probably singlehanded.

 

[sailorman]

gotta get there first, past them Nukie browns

 

[FullCircle]

...not plan anything adventurous, but go back and hope to repeat the 2006 season, with minor improvement tweaks, like taking the fold up bikes ashore and using them.
I will also finally return to Wivenhoe and Rowhedge after a 17 year break.

 

[purplerobbie]

Would like to go to the Azores
That would be the plan for 2008

[pyrojames]

Do some sailing in the new boat and attempt to get to Brest 08.

 

[beancounter]

I'll just aim for the list that we failed to achieve in 2006:

a) Sail further than Burnham on Crouch

b) Spend a night at anchor.

c) Get the cruising chute up.

Night sailing certainly doesn't feature on the list...

 

[Evadne]

Sail to France again. I realised that it is now over 10 years since we visited St Vaast, it would be nice to go back again for a few days.
