Man overboard recovery practice

[MoodySabre]

Dates:
We need a date with middayish HW.
Moving on from my first stab which is now a nono.
Next dates are therefore 17/18 Sept which I can't do so will need another organiser
Next ( and realistically last) are 1/2 October. Water will still be warm and the Indian summer will be in full flow. So this gets my vote.

I shall ask the RNLI to come along.

Saguday and LittleSister.

We moved to Weir Quay (what a fantastic spot!) in June 1999, and stayed there for a very happy ten years. I had a mooring just up river, at Hole's Hole.

In those days, we had a beautiful old gaff cutter.

Still got lots of friends down there, and at Bere Ferrers.

After a very challenging few years, WQSC is now undergoing very exciting developments.

Anyway ..... back to the East Coast!

I passed this on to Mrs Saguday and she was extremely sceptical

You moved there about the time we stopped dinghy sailing to have kids, we were there from early 90's up to about '98.

Mike and Jenny Dunse? Nigel Baxter?

Yes, back to the East Coast

OK just say it's the 31/32 September. Suddenly sounds better!

 

[Bru]

1/2 October works for us (potentially) - Jane's got a few days off then and we're really hoping for an Indian summer so we can go somewhere (anywhere!) by boat

Yes ... we knew the Dunses.

We knew Nigel particularly well, and the beautiful 'Black Cygnet', that he painted white.

Who else?

Mick and Liz Johnson? Gareth Huxtable? Steve Kirby? Malcolm Collingbridge? Carol and Bruce Horner? Ian Heard? Ian Kilpatrick? Dick Brown? Robin and Sue Venables?

Plus loads of christian names, whose surnames escape me.

Yes that should work for us.

It sounds like Bru has volunteered to organise the weather.

Wouldn't be a good idea that. There are people who plan to go sailing when we're not going cos when we are planning to go the weather is usually carp :/

 

[DavidofMersea]

What I would like to know is, what happens to the man overboard if you can't get him aboard? do you just leave him there?

 

[FullCircle]

We can make the 31/32nd of Septober too

Ahhhh .... I hadn't realised that you eastcoasters are so brutally realistic in these sorts of exercises.

I may have to rethink my offer.

We have him attached to a bit of string.

 

[AntarcticPilot]

We have him attached to a bit of string.

You wouldn't want to lose those expensive wet-weather garments and lifejacket!

Cannot promise an Indian Summer but I will try and send some Canarian heat over.

Depends who it is of course!

 

[NealB]

Depends who it is of course!

I'm now VERY worried, Lisa.

 

[MoodySabre]

Right, cut the chat. If I am to ask the RNLI then I need some definite attendees, subject to the weather of course.
So far:
Bru
NealB
Full Circle
Moodysabre
ChattingLil

 

[Champagne Murphy]

So what's the date in the end?

 

[Bru]

We are dependent on a) getting Pagan back in the water by then and b) being able to arrange house moves and handovers to avoid clashing with Jane's holiday. So we're tentatively on for it but can't guarantee to make it
