Maverick Martin Posted April 16, 2009 Report Posted April 16, 2009 Is anybody able to take a dingy this year? It might not be as easy as taking the water taxi but is certainly more convienient if ones available especially for the late returns Martin Quote
Adam F Posted April 16, 2009 Author Report Posted April 16, 2009 Is anybody able to take a dingy this year? Yep I'll have one and a small O/B to power it. I think Neil has one too. Quote

duncan Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 OK - whose hacked into the Metcheck site and arranged the F0 crossing on Friday with nothing but clear skys and sunshine for 4 days after that? ridiculous Quote
TomBettle Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 Thanks to all that offered me space for the crossing after my own boat went bang and a special thanks to Neal for the accepted space aboard his boat. Sadly, my week went from bad to worse and the car also broke down on Friday leaving me with a Quote
Oli Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 (edited) 3 of the 4 Sweet Chariot crew will be present on Wednesday. 4th man can't make it from Somerset (no excuse!). How will we know who you are? Maybe someone should stand by the bar with a big bunch of flowers or something? Edited April 20, 2009 by olimain Quote
Maverick Martin Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 I'm sure one or two of us will be wearing our PBSBAC clothing with the web site addy plastered all over the back Martin Quote

great white Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 Bad luck again Tom I am sure your knowledge would be appreciated on Wed if you can stand to be amongst all the planning on a trip you have to miss. Likewise martin, what is the chance that the engine will be here next week? Charlie Quote
Maverick Martin Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 Engine was supposed to leave Austria today arriving UK Wednesday or Thursday but I have not yet had confirmation that the engine did leave. If the engine arrives this week and Mermaid fit promptly then PMS can refit the legg PDQ then we could still be on for the trip but it is still very much up in the air Martin Quote
Gas Posted April 21, 2009 Report Posted April 21, 2009 Martin sorry to hear that the S***E may still hit the fan. Abode 11 90% out of the frame as well. WORK our lack of it. Next year? Will now aim for the Waymouth meet Quote
