North West meet.
      #1857947 - 13/05/2008 23:24

A Plan is hatched.
Have a look on Scuttle.
New post by Me.
Back a Page one by Little Ship.
L Ship had a Plan, I had a Plan.
L Ship has to Plan early cos His boat is SSOOOO SSLOWWWW!

Anyway.
IOM was the Origional Destination.
L Ship, well He suggested a closer Gig.
Fair play to the Mariner.
So.
An early June date is proposed, well, actually decided.
See, what it is, We have quite a few Newbie Guys about the Place who want to do a cruise together.
Peeps from Conwy, Deganwy, Holyhead, Port Dinorwic and even such far flung Harbours as Porthmadoc etc etc.

So the Plan is to meet up at Porth Dinllaen.
Why there ?I here You ask.
Tiss a cracking spot with a 'Proper Pub' on the Beach.
So that answers that!
Good anchorage etc etc too!
So for Newbs and Salty dogs together tiss a good place to go.

Friday the 13th?
Well we aint superstitious are we peeps?
June that is.
Weather depending of course.
So maybe the Sat 14th or the Sun 15th.
Who knows?
That is the Plan at the Mo.
For info
Porth Dinllaen
53/ 56.68N
04/ 33. 66W
Weather permitting and all that stuff.
Boats to gather from the 13th and 14th.
Rest Day 15th.
Move out 16th.
That's the Plan.
I know it won't work out Exact.
Hey!
No Plan no go!

Plan B.
Porthmadoc a few weeks later.
Plan C
IOM a few weeks later again.
Plan D
SV country (Malahide if yer head has been in the Sand lately) fer a drop Of Guiness and Cranberry juice!
Round about August.
A bit ambitiious I here you say.
Listen up.
We need to get about this Season, weather permitting.
Fore the Juice go's Daft.
Well, that's what I intend to do!
Shout on ere of You can make it.
PM if yer really wants ter go!

Aha - you got my number shipmate. It would be good to rope in raven as well. Porthdinllean is great when the wind (or better light breeze) is in the SW as it is sheltered. Not like last time i came to you with a N. Westerly...

Where have You been?
On Holiday again I suppose!
DON'T bring a NW with You.
Little Ship thought Porth Din would be a handy place to gather.
So's Raggies like Raven and Searush etc could get there within the four day window!
And L Ship

Its a long story.Basically we have no timetble,but we should be somewhere near on or around that time,SWMBO wants to see as much of the country as possible on the way up so nothing is confirmed yet,The basic outline is like this 24th of this month we fly to Bremen,End of the month from Leer to Ijmuiden couple of days there and then to Shotley overnight and start our run round the coast to Dover and then ooopp north via Newlyn and Padstow.We could plan our trip to coincide with the meet,we possibly will only be able to do part of the meet with you but it woud be good to put some faces to the names.But as i said we havnt made a specific timetable(make it up as we go along )
