Are you sure its the third. I thought it would be the fourth. Anyway budget for four in my herd. Will be having a blast out and about in the morn as the wife says its the only boating do where the boats don't get used. I, of course, don't argue......it more than a peaceful life is worth! Steve, theres no anonymous alco's in Wareham. I know them all
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Unfortunately we cannot be there as we have double teenagers 18th B'day bash on the 1st and we have to be in Scotland on the 2nd for sailing course on 3rd. Have fun and we will catch you all another time. We will probably be at LIBS in January. |

My diary says Sat 2nd Octber, it is 2004 isn't it? Old Chinese proverb 'Man who sail boat into rice field, soon get into paddy' |

what time sat pm on the quay |
||||||||
|
|

I should point out the traditional nature of the organisation of this event, which has developed many customs over the years. It is not customary to start organising the finer details until the thread has passed 1000 messages Me transmitte sursum, caledoni |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
it'll be in between the pub opening.... and the pub closing. but you'll need to get here early if you're bringing your boat. just thinking it'd be better to raft from yours rather than the other way round. just realised i'm replying to brendan.... doh!... (meant for rumtigger) see ya, steve. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
will try to but hope to have sold the boat by then and new one wont be here till mid nov |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
sold it?? you've only just bought the damn thing!! whatever, as someone mentioned in another post.. "it's the only boat do, where no one uses the boat!" think it was barry's mrs! come on over anyway.... you know we're always up for a giggle! steve. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Only 1000 posts, standards are slipping. As to finer points........umm yeah right. Thought the idea was to ahve a meeting of like minded souls for a sort of end of season bash, well those that have an end of season. Now back to the little book of knots so it looks like I know what I'm doing when mooring.
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
might be wrong.. but can't help thinking... was that a little dig?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
No, not a spade in sight.

As a relative new-boy, I was prompted to ask whether there were any longer threads than the current hunting debate on Scuttlebutt and was directed to your first Wareham threadathon. Most amusing I must say and by all accounts and pics, a bloody good thrash! Wish I could join you but unfortunately I've got go to a conference all about S-H-one-T in the 'States. Trust you'll let a raggie join you for the fourth one . . . Have a good one ! Khyber |
||||||||

Raggies always welcome. In fact NigelB turned up at the very first one. Me transmitte sursum, caledoni |

Right then, you still coming Brendan? What we got Aztec X2 BarryH X4 Duncan X? BrendanS X2 Rumtigger X? Me X1 Col X? Who else. I guess we need to try and finalise so Steve can book the Italian. I must book myself a room in the Black Bear. To chilly to stop on boat now! Old Chinese proverb 'Man who sail boat into rice field, soon get into paddy' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||

we both should be bring the boat up at least no speed limit across the harbour so wont take as long to get there will try to stay the night but ment to be going to a family wedding in the evening |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Best include me then! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Good man. Count me in too! Hope it's a F5 hoolie across Poole Bay!, Want a trip from Lymington? :) Me transmitte sursum, caledoni |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Any chance of a last minute extra if I can get a pass from her indoors? What's the state of the tide, could I get my P 315 up there (draft 3ft)? and is there anywhere to moor. Alternatively could stay in Poole and get a taxi. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
If it's a F5 hoolie across Poole Bay then no thanks, Brendon. My stomach will be in enough trouble come Sunday. If, however, it's flat calm and 25degC then "Oh thanks, Brendan! That would be brill!!!!" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
hi simon, i'll see if i can arrange a mooring.. failing that, if you can get into poole, i'll come and pick you up. give me a ring on 07833 983074 to let me know what you want to do. regards, steve. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Hi Steve Julie and I will be coming, will probably book into the Bear too - (don't get stuck in the shower again Geoff!!) Look forward to seeing you again this year Lynda |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
oooh brave, putting moby phone number on the internet for all to see. You don't know what weirdo's will pick that up and ubuse it...........................oh, maybe you do, you've met everyone! As far as numbers go. I'll be on my tod because wife has gone off of the boat for a bit. Say's its too cold/wet............................
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Thanks a lot Steve. I am still working on getting a pass from the war department so will call later in the week if I'm allowed out. |
||||||||
|

Huh! no explaining some people..why had she suddenly taken against the boat! Did she get wet last trip out? Me transmitte sursum, caledoni |

I will have to admit to not having the slightest clue what we are doing that weekend at the moment.............. Some negatives are however a little clearer - for example WE won't be overnighting on Wareham Quay; (I might). Sorry to be vague madesco madidum .... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
I know its a bit early to rely on the forecasts, but for the sat the forecast is saying bright/sunny periods 18 degress with 10% chance of precipitation wind from the south force 1-2. Whats the chances of it staying that way!
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Absolutely zilch once Neptune hears we are organising a meet! I'm prepared for F5 from Lymington just like last year, and bitterly cold with hat and gloves for Sunday on the way back....again just like last year (first day of winter when I need those!) Me transmitte sursum, caledoni |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
bet you only want the hat and gloves for the wind chill factor of 50 knots through Poole Harbour.... madesco madidum .... |
||||||||

|||||||
|
Can you work out the numbers, for the Italian, Steve. Oh, blimee, that shower, forgotten about that. I've booked in the Black Bear, I'll bring hammer and chisel with me this time! Old Chinese proverb 'Man who sail boat into rice field, soon get into paddy' |

The Quay does B&B, so does the Horse and Groom in the square. Many of the pubs do in Wareham. Theres a few B&B's in Stoborough also, try the kings arms, it just within walking distance of the quay. Good luck with it

sounds about right. Anyway dragging the boat back up here on sunday. Launch it on thr Thames. Saves driving 120 miles to get pee'd on. I only have to drive 30 miles!
|
||||||||
|
|

I am now looking doubtfull - scary but it's a work thing...... Will only realy know Friday evening - but wasn't down for food anyway so I trust I am only letting myself down madesco madidum .... |

Blimee, no Brendan, no Jon now poss no Duncan. Not many of the WADSMS. founder members left. Thank goodness for Steve, Barry, Forbsie and Col From the looks of the weather forecast, I may leave the boat in Poole, and arrive in Wareham by car.

I could put a cork in it but maybe that would be even more dangerous!!! |

Without a boat I was considering swimming up to Wareham - but still no joy. SWMBO has me vsiting SIL and putting up new shed. I have tried to postpone this, claim to be injured, talked about long lost uncle in Wareham, claimed insanity but to no avail, SWMBO is absolutely adamant that I am going to visit SIL. The fact that it is our wedding anniversary has nothing to do with it! Have a drink (or two) for me and I hope that the round does not get too small.

should be catching the 10:30 ish bridge so hope to be there by 1:30 depending on tide and speed limit sorry wont be staying for food |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||

you should make it for 1145h from the 1030 lift in that boat surely! 15 mins to main channel, 15 to the end of the Wareham River and 45 mins quietly running up river........... madesco madidum .... |

1) Great to see you all again on Saturday. 2) Where's the photos, Barry? 3) I seem to remember us organising another meet, but at that point, my memory fails me. |
