Get on with it then girsl! Us lads have already agreed venue and diet (18 pints).

Re: girly get together...take 2
|

I'm in.
It all got a bit complicated last time, didn't it?
A suggestion (I'm open to others)-
Get to a central southern location (Portsmouth?) by boat or other transport by 11am ish Sat; make up some girl only crews on a couple of boats for a quick afternoon blast;meal and lots of drink evening- with partners if you want;kip on available boats or b&b; disappear after hangovers Sun am.
Maybe not a perfect plan, but it's the simplest I can think of that involves both boats and booze and minimises away time from sprogs/work etc.

Re: girly get together...take 2

that sounds reasonable.
so who is coming?

Re: girly get together...take 2

i am up for that I - not sure about the partner thing for dinner though.....!
|
|
|
|
Re: girl get together...take 2
|
|
Sounds good, I may not have a boat then but happy to crew or assist where needed. either on power or sail. would need a place to kip too if helping 
|
|
|
|
Re: girl get together...take 2
|
|
so when? if we decide a date i'll make sure i have a boat free so a few people will be welcome to sleep/sail on that.
how about a saturday night at the folly inn? can leave sat lunch time and be back pre lunch time sunday. good food/beer/dancing on the tables!
or would people prefere to be mainland?
|
|
|
|
Re: girl get together...take 2
|
|
Folly would be fine for me- I'd be boatless, but could go and stay the night at my Mums who lives 10 minutes taxi ride away so freeing up space for others who needed berths, if necessary.
Dates?
Not....

Re: girl get together...take 2

Might be quite good- I'm thinking of doing a Coastal skipper course Mon-Fri 4-8th April, maybe in Portsmouth area, so I'd be around. And it's my birthday on the 6th- you can help me drown my sorrows!!!

birthday

56 according the bio. I think jimi should buy nice flowers, a card and a cake to cheer up phanakapan as penance for asking people how old they are which is a bit rude really.
btw, jimi is 58, so not too bad.

Re: birthday

You can calculaute some ones age using the following formula
A = P+M + YA +W+(nb*10)-(B*11)
A = Age
P = Years on the Planet
M= Mental Age
YA = Years of Alcohol Abuse
W = Years married
nb = 1 if no boat 0 if boat owner
B = Years as boatowner

Age = -19
|
|
hm, what a rubbish formula.
44+7 +10+17+0- 99
I gave myself a mental age of 7, as i still think it is quite fascinating to set fire to bee's wings as they whizz up and down the window,and have recently installed a full size ping pong table in the kitchen. I don't realy think any stinkie can vliadly claim to have a mental age of muych more than about 12 anyway.
Mind you, jimi's mental age must be five as he is not in the least bit embarassed at wearing a rubbish hat that his mum obviously forces him to wear on cold days, despite all his mates laughing, and he gets lost on his way to obvious thing like massive big boats that can be seen 10 miles off

Re: oops!
|

sorry, phanakapan. 1959 er yep, 45. No actually - forty six! So, that's late forties, well into the second half, and easily middle age.
Myself i have ,miles to go yet cos i am -19, or er in real life 44....

|
Re: girl get together...take 2
|
|
Hey, you cheeky lot!
Actually there's a typo in my biog and I'll only be 36. Honest. (my fingers aren't crossed- much)
Any way, I've got the week free then so if anyone needs crew on a boat fancy enough to tempt me away from a Coastal skipper course I'd be interested!

Liar .. quite apart from the mental age bit, I suspect there's a few more years os alcohol & substance abuse to add!

Re: Age = -19

well i cant make the date in April.
I think the formula may be for the male forumites IQ not age.....
|
|
|
|
Re: girl get together...take 2
|
|
right then dates set as 9/10th april. night at the folly inn, cowes. hands up who's coming (no boys) and if anyone else is bringing a boat. i have 8 berths if we cuddle up or 5 if we don't.
|
|
|

Re: Age = -19

Re: Age = -19

Would love to but am racing first thing Sunday morning and would need to be in Hamble by 8am ish. Without a hangover!

hmmm... getting to hamble would be easy enough....however...

Re: girl get together...take 2

We'll be busy launching our boat then...and if I left him with two kids to mind I think I'd be in trouble!
Some men are sooo unreasonable.
But I like the idea so count me in for next time.

Re: girly get together...take 2

I will be up for this plan. Cornish Maid lives in Haslar nayway, and will have spare berths should anyone be in need. And I only live in Fareham, anyway, bedroom or two available at home.
I see the boys are getting their noses in. Cheeky comments about us being able to organise anything without them. Any more cheek, and we won't tell them where their socks, underpants, dinner, booze, shirts, car keys, office (etc) are, will we girls?

My clothes are on the spare bedroom floor ready to go, thankyou Becky. Think it's where I left them last time I returned from the boat, so they should have freshened themselves up again by now.

Re: girl get together...take 2
|

Count me in. Can't say for sure whether I'll need a berth- actually I'm trying to get up the courage to sail singlehanded from Brighton. If I do, I will have a quarter berth free, and share of the forepeak.

Re: girly get together...take 2
|
|
I have to do a slight change of plan, due to a certain boss desperately needing a favourer that day I will be going over to the folly's in the evening , well between 5 and 6 on brig, so if anyone needs a lift and can;t make it for the day but could the evening and over night, back on the Sunday, let me know may have 2 or 4 berths free,
|
|
|
|
Re: girly get together...take 2
|
|
so who is going?
and does anyone want a berth?
|
|
|
|
Re: girly get together...take 2
|
|
I'm still planning on it. If the weather is ok and my boat gets back in the water on time I plan to sail her down the Solent area earlier in the week: I'd then have a berth free for someone if they needed it. If, however, the weather is poo, I'm still coming- but I'll need a berth. Sorry I can't be more specific.
|
|
|
|
Re: girly get together...take 2

there is two of us on my boat at the moment so plenty of space.

Re: girly get together...take 2

|
Re: girly get together...take 2
|
|
I make the current list as follows
Phanakapan Powerskipper plus 1?
Zephyrsailor
Becky
Flying Junior
most with free berths.
Stellagirl, Windfall, Janek- are you sure you can't change your plans? or meet up for coffee/lunch on the mainland Sat am perhaps? or I suppose it's not too late to change the Folly to a mainland place if everyone else agrees and if it would make it easier for some to attend socially, even if not sailing.

I think that at the moment Cornish Maid should be in the water. Just got to find a mindewr for HWMBO
So date in April still?
|
|
|
|
Re: girly get together...take 2
|
|
April 9/10 still good for me. The boat is due back in the water 31st March, so if push came to shove I could just about make it the 2nd/3rd.
|
|
|
|
Re: girly get together...take 2
|
|
i could do 2/3 if that would be better?
not sure it would suit flying junior? she is my only crew at present.
i shall endevor to do what ever suits most people.
|
|
|
|
Re: girly get together...take 2
|
|
i might have my lodger with me too, but i'll not be absolutly sure she's coming until she's actually on the boat.
|
|
|
|
Re: girly get together...take 2
|
|
Yes thats alright by me.
College hols start on friday so anytime tween that and 18th April (when summer term starts) suits me fine.
|
|
|
|
Re: girly get together...take 2
|
|
so can more people make it if we go 2/3rd april instead?
|

|
Re: girly get together...take 2
|
|
I can't do second and third as RYA muster in Cowes and i am working there,
Looks like I will not have a boat the weekend of the 9th and 10, she is coming out the water, so may have to ferry it, unless someone can pick us up.about 5 to 6 ish on the sat .

Re: girly get together...take 2

Problems: we will not be able to launch until the Sunday, April 10th, so will not be able to come. Unless anyone thought a later weekend would do? Sorry everyone, couldn't get an earlier launch date. Then there will be loads of working-up for all the new toys on board, so much still to do 
|
|
|
|
Re: girly get together...take 2
|
|
What a shame Becky.
Ok, so for the 9th we're down to 2 boats, and not everyone can make it then anyway. So looking a bit dodgy. However- let's look on the bright side, if we try later the weather may be better and more people may be able to make it.- Having said which, I should still be around the solent for the week 2nd-9th anyway if you want to meet up.
Looking to the future, at the moment I could do any Saturday- on someone elses boat- except 7th May 2nd July
|

|
Re: girly get together...take 2

ok, lets stick with 9th/10th see what happens and do it again in the summer!
we still have a few people coming over and powerskipper will come over on ferry later on?

Just caught up with this thread as I thought I'd check and see how the plans are going.
We're still launching - if we don't do it this weekend there isn't another tide deep enough till May 9th! - Can't afford the continued yard fee.
BUT will come if we can do it again sometime. Can't let those scuttlebutt chaps be gloating over our inability to get this organised

news flash
|
|
have borrowed larger boat to accomodate the girly crowd.....but if the weather is super grotty (snow forecast i hear!) would people mind coming to gosport? i can accomodate everybody but at the moment i've not alot of crew to get the boat to the jolly sailor if the weather is naff..... PM me for a phone number if your coming, location for meet to be decided sat am... figure those that are driving it won't make huge difference anyway.
