Re: you mus be joking Brrrrrr

Well hello sailor!

This Solent nancy boy was down servicing the boat on Friday, and testing it on a trip to Portsmouth on Saturday. Bright sunshine first thing, but you probably mist (!) that.

OK, so we had the hood and sides firmly closed and the heating on, cos' we left the mink rug at home. At least the shampoo was nice and cold.

Any other Solent "sailors" nancying round last weekend? The Essex boys wanted to play.

Re: you mus be joking Brrrrrr

We were out last Saturday. Admittedly, I was wearing hat, gloves, saily jacket and Mr B's thermal underwear. Had a play around out there then stayed out for a while waiting for sight or sound of MVII but they were cosy cosy in Eastbourne. Be out again this weekend.

Re: you mus be joking Brrrrrr

MVII should be making the final leg from Eastbourne to Chichester, if its ruff then Brighton is the primary divert...

Re: you mus be joking Brrrrrr

You feel at home, there's a boat at the end of the pontoon called Miami Vice - looks like we have the original at Brighton. What time r u thinking of setting off, I'll leave the VHF on 16 and listen out and maybe come out to see you go by - unless of course it's half past stupid, in which case I'll be just turning over (... and leave the smut right there!!!) ;-)

Well I'm usually out and about around the Solent, the only trouble at the moment my engine is missing being repaired (that corrosion problem).

Can only find an experienced hand for Sunday. If we leave Eastbounre at 08:00 ish then we should pass Brighton around 10:00ish - will call you on Ch16 as we pass...

Re: you mus be joking Brrrrrr

Oh please Pauline - I'm relying on this man to find Chichester on Sunday. If he goes blind by then look out for us heading off to sea. Mind you we will have JFMs super expensive hand held plotter on board so at least we will know where we are lost. If not how to get back.

He's right, you do want the A27, unless you take the A285/A272 Petworth-Haywards Heath, but that's a stupid way from Eastbourne.
