Scuttlebutt to Cherbourg 2005

[duncan]

I really fancy running over late Friday or early Sat in Phaeton if the weather makes that realistic, probably sh but you never know. would only do so in company though. Neaps too should help.

As has already been suggested I was already on board Asterie a couple of years ago before SWMBO apparantly knew I was even going which led to an interesting conversation and little chance of last year..... /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Needless to say I haven't actually got round to discussing things for this year yet and things will be very much dependent on how well the holiday period goes.

Observer (Tim) did the trip in his Sealine last year, and was well recieved with only a small amount of good natured barracking from raggies, so I'd encourage any mobo's who want to join in to do so. Haven't seen him posting much recently, but if he was doing trip again, sure he'd travel in company.

Observer's was the first boat I've ever seen with a ceiling-stowed cockpit table. I think it even had one of those US-style product liablility stickers on it. Went something like...

"Warning. Do not drop this on your head when opertaing heavy machinery, you thick sod. It might cause pregnant women"

You will be more than welcome Paul - hope you can find crew - please let me know when you have, so I can update my records.

[Phoenix of Hamble]

So Nick,

Whats the latest Tally?

Sounds like a lot of folks are up for this /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Does Cherbourg know what is going to hit it?

 

[bedouin]

We're a definite probable - work commitments permitting

 

[Solitaire]

Maybe we go together - I'll do your CEVNI on the way! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif RickP is doing his on Wednesday.

 

[Talbot]

I cant guarantee that I will be available that weekend at this stage, but would like to join in. If I do, then I not only will have some space, but would welcome some additional expertise.

 

[LeytonC]

Hey Dave, if you are taking solitare, will you be looking for crew??? LOL

 

[Becky]

Love to come, one boat, two peeps.

I am indeed. Would like to make the trip again - need to check on the domestic leave of absence front.

 

[Twister_Ken]

Becky,

You'd love to come and we'd love to have you (stop sniggering at the back there) so welcome.

 

[Twister_Ken]

Ok, crew has accepted - his handle is Number One - as in "It's getting to be a different kind of war, Number One".

 

[DJE]

Put me down as a possible. Just waiting for the perfect moment to apply for my pass. Sadler 29 to add to the small boat fleet and crew TBA.

 

[BlueSkyNick]

ok, you are on the list., as is Observer and Becky.
