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.

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.

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.

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 !

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.

Missing Wareham

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.

who's up for it and choose from two dates...
saturday 4th december '04
saturday 11th december '04
if we can choose a suitable date i expect we can colate the relevent (vant?) details on the ad hoc thing.
let me know by whatever means at your disposal and i'll do the rest. i'll make some tentative enquiries about feeding too. but expect it'll be tandoori nights somehow...
