Please see THIS THREAD on the forum set up for this event (thanks to Kim)
Some MoBo's have attended in the past, and been very welcome.
Please put all replies there, not here.
Here is an abridged version, if any non registered users would like to join us - you will need to register first, though.
For the uninitiated, the concept is for forumites to travel to Cherbourg by boat (train or car for french residents), meet up for a nosh and a quiet drink, usually followed a few noisy ones.
A very important point: all sailing decisions are down to individual skippers. ie who they take aboard, passage plans, assessment of weather forecasts etc. There will be plenty of guidance, debate and banter on this forum, but skippers take their own responsibility. Other forumites seeking to crew are asked to respect this.
As Ken is gallantly dealing with the Yacht Club, I will cause my usual confusion by compiling the list of boats, skippers, crews etc.
Closer to the time, when we have an estimate of numbers, we will forewarn the marina. We will also make specific eating arrangements and advise costs etc - I am sure it will be very reasonable.
