Come on Russ, get the noortickle terminology right. He will be your Galley Slave!

TBH, I don't mind letting Gareth steer and pull ropes. I quite like doing the galley slave bit myself.

Teazy, eh? You weren't berthed at Kemp's Quay last year, were you?

Hi - that's where I purchased the boat from! - do you know of it?
I'd chatted with the owner - apparently now the previous owner - from time to time. When he first arrived a couple of years ago he'd misjudged the amount of water (easily done there, done it myself) and grounded a few metres away from the pontoon. I suggested he throw me a line so I could tie him to the pontoon and he could wait for the water to rise without fear of drifting away
I see him around in a Drascombe sometimes now; I hadn't twigged that he'd sold Teazy. I had thought that you were him

As long as it's soft mud and the boat can dry out, within reason it's always worth a go, ' Full Power, Scotty ' !
Chatting on another thread has led me to think I should mention this here...
We're already being optimistic expecting the conditions on a date set far in advance might allow us to get to Poole.
There is always the possibility that a prompt return on the Sunday / Monday / any given day may not be sensible due to adverse weather, and sailing despite this just because one ' has to be back at the office ' is a big mistake, lives and boats are more important than any job !
There are good trains, probably even coaches from big stations for each in Poole, there's no shame in leaving the boat and returning the next week, after all it extends the sailing options around the area too.
Just a thought to mention, ' keep Plan B in mind '...

Redciffe Yacht Club used to be able to accomodate the odd visitor in grief due to the weather. Cheaper and safer than a lot of the marinas in Poole. Worth a making a note.

We have a galley?
Does this mean I shall have to add extra ballast to my little boat to slow it down?
If you want a fair race you'll need to leave boobs in the water for 7 months before the trip this time rather than polishing her bottom in an effort to look fast at least this time I'll know why I'm slower though. For what it's worth I got an extra knot in August after the fresh anti foul!
Is there going to be a berthing plan for Lymington, or do we just turn up and get shoved somewhere? I'm guessing we'll all be arriving over the course of Friday, and some quite late. The 'small ships fleet' arriving via East Cowes should arrive at a similar time.
Berthon is in Lymington, I suspect that's what he was talking aboutHi Russell,
We agreed we might not all get berthed together at Lymington, but we should all fit in somewhere in Berthons.
12 confirmations out of what, 26 or so applicants ?! Sounds about like expected; can we decide who'se organising this please, I had been asked by PhillM but if you're back on the scene, great and I hope your health is OK now, mine is still a bit doubtful.
