Pirate weekend - the final countdown

[Saguday]

Normal procedure is leave on the ebb, should do 5kts+ up Wallet, typically takes us 6 hours or so Tollesbury to Backwaters (about 28NM).

Suggest kidnap pirate queen and leave Saturday...?

Well, we're here already or close enough so pre-piratical socials will be available on Saguday probably in Hamford water on Saturday if anyone else is around.

Doug, will you be around on Saturday?

Wunja, need to get priorities sorted

Sunday weather looking ok - shud b gud

Probably come around on the tide on Sunday... Weather is **** today, and clearing overnite... so going across to the boat on Saturday AM... I doubt we will be ready to heave-ho before 2pm on Saturday...

Got 3 bottles of wine for a tenner at Asda yesterday... so we are ready.

Looks like its gonna be 2 big pirates and one small furry pirate..... small non-furry pirate is at Grans.

I feel it is my duty to inform you all that after F5-6 NE and rain overnight and this morning the wind has now dropped off completely and the sun is shining, so no excuse not to come out
