Plan is for at least 2 boats coming from Saltfleet, fingers crossed for a couple more.

 

[alexrunic]

Thats good news, lets hope the weather improves!!

 

[Tommyrot]

I've ordered 21 degrees and an F4 westerly.

Met Steve on "Sunshine" in Bridlington, he said he'll be coming down for the BBQ from the Humber.

Hi Tommy, would love to join you there but we will hopefully be on the way back from Ramsgate that day. Yes, a F4 westerly would suit us lovely too so lets keep the fingers crossed.
I spoke to Steve last week and he told me he hopes to get there with Springtime and there maybe one other boat as well.

Regards, Ted.

 

[Tommyrot]

Have fun down south Ted.
Will be good to catch up with Steve.

Thanks David, hopefully they are right and lots of hungry and thirsty people turn up

Part of an email I got tonight from Saltfleet club regarding the weekend.

"weather reports at present for week end, mainly westerly 3 to 4 occasionally 5 both days."

 

[alexrunic]

its looking good for a change must be the first BBQ for years with out any mention of a force 7

 

[Tommyrot]

That F7..... Wasn't forecast, but built up while we were at anchor waiting to go back into Saltfleet!

3 boats, 1 with dead engine, 1 with an engine that died on the way in, so 2 made it in under sail!
My engine worked, but as I'd got the deepest draught I touched bottom twice before being lifted 6 feet!
All made it in OK, wet and still smiling.

Similar problems at Wainfleet, 2 boats towed in, I got in after the obligatory running aground on my first visit.

Great BBQ anyway, wish I'd felt better on the night.
