Orwell - X-Mas time

[Koeketiene]

Anyone afloat in the Orwell area X-Mas - New Year period?

Good ship Guapa will be out and about - hiding from relatives.
Plenty of stuff on board to keep the cold out - thank you General Stores /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
Always welcome.

 

[spottydog]

Yes, plans for a Boxing day sail from Orwell Y.C. If it's as quiet as last Sunday on the river we should easily spot each other!!

ps Trapper 500 Alice - my boat ashore for vast amounts of money to be spent on her over winter.

 

[FullCircle]

Well if anyone has a spare crew spot.......

 

[Koeketiene]

Would be delighted, old bean.

 

[FullCircle]

Ah, you are a Prince amongst men. Please send travel itinerary and boarding/departure times.

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

and if you need anyone for a day to keep that Full Circle chap under control.. just ask..... (told you I'd miss not having a boat by Christmas.... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif)

 

[Sixpence]

I'm surprised you haven't had withdrawal symptoms before now

Itinerary as follows:

22-24 Dec: 3-day family cruise
25 Dec: X-Mas @ home - Mrs Guapa, kids & me - though there are as yet unsubstantiated rumours that N°1 child has invited "the boyfriend"
26 Dec - 07 Jan: Mrs Guapa's working (what a woman!) local day sails or the odd overnighter - as the mood takes us.

So - quite flexible - let me know what works for you.
Boatless one more than welcome too. Might even convince him to add Kalik to his list of "possibles".

That reminds me, I've been wondering: Is there such a thing as a yottie version of "The Big Issue"?

 

[sailorman]

RED DIESEL is the new BIG ISSUE, apparently /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

 

[D3B]

might a Mobo who currently has no crew and therefore cannot go very far be included in seeing how things are done on the "other side" /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

well thats my excuse /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

oh alright i cant afford the red stuff /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

BTW I DID see the post on Skuttlebut about towing me over to Ostend /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif
which i should graciously accept /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The more the merrier, I suppose - get your ducks in a row with Full Circle & the boatless one (gloat, gloat) and let me know when you could make it.


PS: had a look at the picture of your boat - did you know you have no mast? Surely that must make sailing jolly hard? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

 

[sailorman]

thats y he wants a toe /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif will /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

The boatless one (less gloating please /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif), Full Circle, and Mr 3-bottles are in communication via pm, and will try to suggest a date that is convenient!

 

[FullCircle]

Is that a date then?

 

[sailorman]

[Koeketiene]

If you mean Thu 28 DEC you're on.

I will compile a list of jobs that need doing, so the 3 of you can "work your passage" /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Thanks Will

Sadly, that almost sounds appealing... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Looking forward to it....

 

[sailorman]
