Swale - Harty Ferry

[Athene V30]

A while ago Mr Moody Sabre posted 'I'm organising a Harty Ferry meet on the East Coast Forum' /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I thought the date was to be 20 / 21 Sept.

Is this happening or will I be Billy no mates as usual /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

 

[MoodySabre]

I have just logged on to post a reminder! You must be telepathetic.

Yes - I am going (a couple of scurvy dogs recruited for crew so I can sit back and enjoy the ride /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif)

HW Bradwell on 20th is 0405 so I will have to squeeze out before 0700 - a bit earlier than necessary for LW at Whittaker but hey ho bacon sarnies and fresh coffee will see us through.

Will keep an eye open for you.

Bother, I fancied that trip to Harty Ferry too.

My diamond crew will be watching rugby at Twickers that weekend. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Will probably leave B'sea about the same time so see you off Wallet Spitway.

I am the one with the new toy on board so too busy reading the manual to see how the chart plotter works to sail the boat and look out! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Can't you use the platinum crew instead?

 

[eastcoastbernie]

He's otherwise engaged too!

Where is everybody? Not out sailing in the sunshine I hope - disgraceful behaviour!

I know the weather will change by next weekend but at the moment it's showing sunny an F3 easterly - bring it on /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[Athene V30]

Not sailing. 1st Sunday at home for weeks - but I was on the boat yesterday!

Got to take 17yo out driving later /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Keep clear of all roads in South Norfolk from about 1030 for an hour and a half, if my nerves can last that long!

 

[MoodySabre]

I taught 3 kids to drive - I enjoyed it. I even got one of them to drive me to London and round Trafalgar Square in her old Polo with L plates on - after that the test was a doddle! For early days I found industrial estates on a Sunday were generally clear of traffic.

I might be able to pop out for a quick spin at Harty around HW on Saturday afternoon and say hello....this will be with our weekend family guests intercepted on their car journey towards us, and press-ganged aboard.
For that reason, cannot join in evening frivolities.
I've got Sabre's mobile number, so will call if we make it.

 

[MoodySabre]

Excellent /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif My passage plan has us there by HW-1

 

[Athene V30]

So does mine, I'm following him /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

 

[MoodySabre]

So it\'s just FlipperK and me then is it?

Weather and tides laid on - a new destination for some. What more do you want?

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

A bit too far for us in a 2 day weekend after a couple of weekends of high mileage (done nearly 300nm over the last 2 weekends)...... we would've loved to join in otherwise...

 

[Artemis_C2121]

sorry to be missing the trip but weather in Cyprus is forcast at sunny 28 deg think with over night lows of 17.

Sailing in the merk or the alternative of cold glass of wine looking out at clear blue water ummmmm which should i chose?

Hope its fair winds and good passage have a great time everyone catch up later in the year

Nev, Janey

Peter - would you believe it's our final fling this weekend - to....

Brightlingsea!

As I can't leave until about 3pm on Sat the Ferry seems a bit ambitious. Have to settle for a curry in Kovalam

[Athene V30]

Isn't Brightlingsea the second home for Marconi Sailing Club? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif If I am not there there is an extra berth if required!

Saw several in last Saturday.

Have a good curry.

A few more degrees on the temperature and some sunshine would be nice. Like to top up my tan too. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I might have to put waterproofs on to keep warm /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Re: So it\'s just FlipperK and me then is it?

Loads of sun and nice winds forecast - blimey we are getting picky. You have obviously been spoiled by the long hot summer /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
