I'll volunteer to be a MOB. Got a wet suit etc and Bernie's got some traditional lifejackets with built in bouyancy so we could avoid having to re-arm inflatable ones. (cept for yours Roger, sorry about that /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif)

Think I could be tempted to try it (if it is a nice day) just to see what the inflation is like. Can imagine if you have just been thrown into the water then get a sudden WOOSH whilst all around you it is mayhem, could cause the need to change undergarments.
Did jump off the flight deck of a Frigate in a 'once only suit' and old fashioned lifejacket & no it was not the capok type. The rush of air out through the neck of the suit on impact was something. The Navigating Officer was a tiny chap and the suit was a one size fits nobody - on impact the suit inverted him. We had a giggle /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif once we had him up the right way! Service humour has its moments.

If go for 27/28 Sept will have to count me out as will be doing Sea Scout things. But then my diary for Sept and Oct weekends is pretty full so chances are I'd miss it anyway. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Should we have it earlier then, beginning of September or something? Or the last weekend in August?

I think the 23 / 24 August is Burnham week and the 'racy' types will be doing gung ho things there!
Is the 30 / 31 Aug a possibility? Are the Summer Cruises over by then? It is springs so bit of a strong current at Marconi unless do man in the water bits at turn of tide? Sat HW 1210 / Sun 1254 so fairly reasonable for those coming from Orwell?

Roger, the marina have been trying to call you. With the winds we have been having your boat has taken out D19 & D18 and is now lying on D17 /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

A variation of the old joke might be appropriate
"The train now arriving at platforms 3, 4,5 and 6 has come in sideways"
