Let me be the one to start a thread to say thank you to Cutter ( Richard) and tome (Tom) for organising the weekend.
This is the second year that Galadriel has crossed to Cherbourg for this event, an of end of season Channel crossing for me, so the focus of the rally is all that more important.
A good job with good support, well done gents!

They were re-routed towards me, that's why. Didn't dare hoist the kite and had to motor all the way!

Yes, many thanks again, a terrific evening and a great excuse to make the trip. Thanks also to Jane, Terry, Bill, and Tony for excellent crewing and camaraderie...
As a newbie to this Scuttlebutt cruising thing, does anyone have an idea if there might be a more local 'do' in the winter sometime?

The answer to that is "Yes - if you organise one" 
I'll add my thanks to organisers, crew and other peeps for a thoroughly enjoyable weekend

Sorry to hear about the wrist, Nick, although - as I think I mentioned in the pub last night - it's a good thing it was your left wrist and not your right.

And I'll add my voice to the chorus of thanks as well - congenial company for my first cross-Channel jaunt, and a right good night on Saturday.
Thanks to bedouin as well for agreeing to let an unknown quantity hitch a ride - much appreciated.

Is Nick left handed Maladroit and Sinister ??..
Seriously tho' we three on Allegretto enjoyed the "do" as ever ... I think this one was the best yet... mebbe cause I was able to stand up at the end....
Was a bit worried that the run would be blocked by a Rossiter Pintail which got it wrong when we were waiting for enough water to get in...But they dragged her away B4 hw when we bumped our way in .... Could we do it on a Springs weekend next year??
Well done everyone and thanks for looking after an old buffer!!!
Cheers Bob E...

Absolutely! Well done all especially Cutter and Tome. Have been corresponding on the site for yonks but never met anybody before so was concerned to remember who I had insulted or upset in the past. No worries though! Excellent evening.
Apart from Mark and Sally (Talbot) who were excellent company on board, my very new lady friend, Kris, who had not set foot on a boat for 30 years let alone crossed the channel was a real trooper and enjoyed every minute of it and has "signed up" as permanent crew! The good ship "Peregrine" salutes you all....
