Adam F Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 I am planning the first trip of the year down to Weymouth in two weekends time - 26th March. I appreciate that it is Mothers Day, so numbers may be a little low, I am therefore proposing to do another trip the next weekend also. Post here is you want to tag along. Usual timings - meet at slip for 7am for a 7.30 launch. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swainiac Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Will be there with Maestro and Tom, on board the good ship Quest.........just to see what Toms doing wrong re Plaice!!!! I'm also up for crewing the following weekend Terry, if you require crew, I'm sure we can buddy James if he's out that way. Looking forward to it......with the chance of a fat Halibut to boot!!!

Fugazi Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Adam, Don't think I can get out of Mothers day duties but put me down for the following weekend. Gordon H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Can't make either weekend I am afraid. However, I will be up for a mid-week trip to the Shambles sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaicemat Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Paul, I have contacted Alun re midweek trip and he is o/k during his early April holiday. Do you want to buddy up? Terry B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Terry, That would be good. I have the mothering law and sister in law staying down though, so will have to see regarding trip to Weymouth. If I can make it, then I will either get my friend from work crewing or ask Sam if he fancies crewing ( it will be half term, so I suppose he will be tempted ! ).

britboard Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 i'm in for weekend No2, at the risk of sounding dense "where the slipway?" never launched at Weymouth. I need crew if anyone wants to volunteer let me know!! simon p.s. boat now has a name "Cimarra" which is spanish for "play hooky" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swainiac Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Simon, will gladly crew for you if required. Drop down into weymouth from the main Dorchester road, go straight through to the roundabout by Morrisons or Safeways......cant recall which, I'm usually driving at warp factor ramming sped to get down to the quay!! Take second exit, go round the top of the tpwn, at the next roundabout, you will see the council offices on the right, fire station oposite, take first exit back to go round towards the texaco garage. Next roundabout, third exit along to the old harbour, where all the boats are moored. Slipway is before you reach the little section of road before the lifting bridge. Get there early doors, no slip fees......get there late, lazy attendant is in the hut. Launch said craft, park trailer on trailer park, drive either around to the council offices and park in the slip road by the supermarket for freebie parking, or speak to BB to see if a space is available in the fishing club car park. I dont know where you will be driving from, I will be coming from Southampton, so can maybe meet up on way if application is succesfull!!!!! Tight lines in any case...........

lady jane Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 sunday 02-04-06. please could you add me to list crew dave butlin. cheers andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newboy Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Bloody hell Rich, I get confused by your directions and I go to Weymouth alot.... My advice is down the hill passing the elbow bend, next roundabout turn right, next roundabout bear left, now you should see the river on your left, next roundabout turn left over the river, with Macdonald and KFC on your left, take right at this roundabout, over some tram/rail lines on the road, the tram line will take you all the way to the slipway which is on your right. If if helps, an Iceland van always park in the car park on a Sunday morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newboy Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Macdonald opens 7:00 but you won't be able to trail your boat thru the drivethru section..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swainiac Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Simon, if the Sailors Return boozer is open, they do a breakkie for a couple of squid, or take away sarnies from 0700. Failing that, ring BoyBilly, dead early, and ask his missus to bang on the cooker.......he's always good for an early morning breakkie. oooops sorry Billy!!!

Adam F Posted March 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Its all part of the fun Al - brekkie in the morning, followed by fishing, followed by a beer on the way home. Us trailer boys have all the fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
