Pirate numbers
      #1912888 - 30/06/2008 19:43

Remarkably, as we stand, there are 17 boats coming along......

So thats likely to be in excess of 50 people ashore!!!!

The anchorage can hold that many if we are careful, but there is also plenty of room generally on a Sat night on the moorings if needs be, and in the worst case, oodles of room in Hamford Water, and a short tender ride....

Really looking forward to the weekend this year!

Remember your firewood...

Following some problems during my marshalling session for the Round Britain Mobo, I am now waiting for the Volvo engineer to get around a problem of an alarm sounding cos the computer is full of faults.....

The same one!!!!!!

The drive trim sensor is knackered....Huh? so soon...inherent problem with Volvo's......sends message to the EVC which stores it up.....too many faults....limp mode!
switch off......it goes away!

One of these years I WILL have a holiday without problems from this pile of $hite built in Kidderminster!!!!

Hi Michael, pleased that you can make it.

We will be on Royal Corinthian pontoon from about 7pm, and will be departing aan hour before HW at about 1230. Should arrive early in the morning on the rising tide into the Backwaters, bit of breakfast, head down for a couple of hours then see what the day brings. Biggish tide so through the Swin at about 1/2 tide with a bit of luck. South Westerly 3-4 anyone?

I'd best try and get there early...

Like there is much chance of that with the children!

Anyone want to crew?

Sorry to hear that Dougie, can I assume you aren't in the Thames estuary somewhere?

Both little Roachy and Bryher might be popping along too, depending on leaks and general wooden boat concerns.
