Roll call for saturday?

[Phoenix of Hamble]

A grand weekend was had by all....

top nosh.... excellent company.... many laughs.....

....and then topped off by a stinking hot day Sunday, with 12kts of sea breeze.....

Even Mr 3-bottles seemed to enjoy the raggie lifestyle!

Top Company.

Screaming dead run on Saturday in F6/7. Full Circle holds the record log speed on Solene at 10.3kts now. 4 hours 40 minutes from Burnham to Shotley. Phew.
Great beat all the way back to Burnham, F3-F5, not too many tacks, but it took 7 1/2hours....

Thanks to all, great to meet Moodysailors for the first time. Except it wasnt the first time, as in years ago, Roger was one of the partnres in the accountancy company I used.

Bristol Arms Shotley exceeded our expectations.

Bravo to the CentaurPipeDreams, they are the full hoot.

Dougie Trois Bouteilles kept me and Neil up late, as usual. Shame the T25s couldnt quite make it, but there will be other times.

15, not a bad turnout for an informal weekend......

See you all soon

Indeed a very good weekend and we didn't even get wet!

Great to put faces to a few more names - I did say faces /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif I'm sure Jim is getting younger /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif Thanks to you all.

A good sail to start with but a SW is not much good for getting back to Bradwell and then the wind disappeared for a bit so some motoring and back in 5 hours. Shame about the Pipedreamers - last seen having some nosh at Bradwell about 7.00pm smarting from a taxi bill. Good luck Alan - speak to you soon.

Yep, great company, good food, great beer and even good weather, and of course, great to meet new faces too. Saturday against the tide wasn't much fun, but we did sail for a while so that was good, but today, well ..........................

Thanks to all who helped us, fed us, drove us, stood by to make sure all was well etc after our exhaust muffle became too exhausted to carry on.

Seee you all soon /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Ahem.....to quote you /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I believe it was certain Full Circle that went looking for the party boat.....

first one found was Morgana where i was to finally lay my head after a long and interesting day. thanks to Neil and family for alterations to berthing arrangements to accomodate me.

aftering attempting to get still dunno to shotley againsta F5/6 sea with wind against tide. i regret it didnt take long to turn round and head back to port.

as usual a superb evening in excellent company.
an enjoyable cruise at slow speeds...for me at least
and glad to be of asstistance to a forumite.

for goodness sake dont push us up the charts....we manage very well on our own.

And many thanks to your good self Dougie , as it turned out , the nice man that said the ECU was knackered didn't have a clue , father in law found a loose plug on sunday morning and car was on the road again . Though we didn't get home till very late saturday night .
Wind over tide conditions were just a little too rough I think , hopefully there'll be a next time with better weather , good call this time though

Jim,
Yes truly excellent weekend great company and great sailing, I have to correct your maths it only took 6 and half hours to get back to Burnham!

 

[FullCircle]

Ahh, yes, but I added the time I was asleep in the Spitway timewarp.....
