Coming via Shotley on the Thursday afternoon.

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Too late..... the garage nicked it yesterday, and I still ain't got it back!

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Excellent.... well we'll be leaving Shotley similar times then I suspect....

 

[Marmalade]

I have a pass as the family don't seem up for it! Thus

Simon + 1 or 2 mates

 

[FullCircle]

Currently unable to confirm, as the hole in my boat needs realigning by reticent craftspersons.

 

[Athene V30]

Not sure!! /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Each Late May Bank Hol the RNSA have a combined meet with the Little Ship Club in Calais. I fancy going somewhere different but my conscience is telling me as Hon Sec of Sailing Association I should be with them in Calais.

However as the lock gates in Calais are broken the meet might be moved to Oostende! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Oostende is much nicer than Calais anyway!!!!!

 

[Summer Solstice]

[Jomo]

Jomo & wife.

Youngest crew member seems to have opted out now.

We are planning to leave early on Friday, following CliveG's advice. With fair winds Limbo should be in on Friday evening, hopefully in time to try one of those Duvel thingumies /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

 

[D3B]

If the weather is ok you could jump ship and either have more or less time ashore.... /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
weather dependant of course /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Neil, at this time, most happy to confirm that you have two guests that are very much looking forward to the trip, former doubts seem to have been unwarranted, all clear now thanks.

 

[CliveG]

I can confirm that it is our intention to come over in Sirenia.
The crew list is currently under negotiation.

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

So with Sailorman and Guapa assumed as definate, thats 8 boats confirmed, with 2 possibles...

Could be a good turn out this year!

[Auntie Helen]

We have had some discussions about it but I think it's probably unlikely. I'm not keen on long passages (8 hours is about my limit really) and HWMBO can't do it on his own, plus he may have to work. It's still in our diaries, however, for something to work towards possibly.

 

[bastonjock]

how many NMs to OOstende from the east coast? Im toying with the idea of lassooing morgana as he leaves deeping and doin the trip on the cheepo /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

 

[MoodySabre]

Harwich to Oostende about 79nm subject to course.

Tidal sets and lazy helming - who knows /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

If Morgana is towing you then I might be able to keep up with him /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[Artemis_C2121]

Its in our plans also, having said that we have had lots of plans over the last few weeks which have come to diddly squat.
Still lets be positive
Mr & Mrs Art + 1 friend

Unsure as to depart crouch on thursday or as Moodysabre head to shotley first any suggestions on that greatly recieved
