[powerskipper]

I am pottering around with press for their arrival, any one want me to try and take any pics of any particular vessels if I can.

I need a picture of a 960GL estate to complete my collection.

Thanks,

Nick

Just as long as it's got a labrador in the back.

What route do they take in the solent and where is the finish line?

Up the needles and finish just off Gilkicker point.....current ETA is during the day saturday but that could obviously change....

 

[StellaGirl]

I will keep everyone updated if you like....

 

[powerskipper]

My son would like a decent shot of Pirates of the Caribbean. So would his dad, but Dad wants Ms Knightley to be the centre and subject of the picture

Keep an eye on the ETAs given here. Will you also be getting photos of Dee Caffari's arrival back into OV (displaced by the Volvo mob from Gunwharf it seems)?

Volvo had already prebooked all of Gunwharf a long time ago, before it was known about Dees challenge. Its not Volvo that have said no its actually Gunwharf I believe.....

 

[rickp]

Yes - for the lame reason that "we can't accomodate all the people that want to see the Volvo boats *and* Dee". A shame, considering they were happy enough for her to set off from there. So displaced she is....

Still, be good if Powerskipper could get photos of her on Sunday. We may be out too, but depends on weather, guests and timing /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Dee is due to finish her challenge tommorow morning sometime of Ushant and then proceed up the channel to the Solent. Her coming home party is Sunday.

To be honest she will get tonnes of suppport wherever she is and if I was here I would not want to go into Gunwharf, at posibly the same time a VOR boat was finishing, and get overshadowed....

Not sure her sponsors would be happy about that
