Arrangements

[Cutter]

I have booked the Yacht Club for 80 souls on Saturday evening at 1930 Frogtime.
There is a choice of 3 menus - price difference is really quality of wine allowed. I will make an executive decision and dictate what we are going to have.
I know there are one or two peeps with gluten allergies, veggie tendancies and sheer cussedness so please let me know if you fall into one of these categories.
I have been asked to let them know exact(ish) numbers which I realise is like looking into a crystal ball - if it were this weekend coming I suspect there would be few takers. He has done us a favour by moving another party out and I am keen to keep the entante cordial etc etc.
I have warned the Fuschias in St Vaast that there may be quite a few on Friday night but will leave it to individual skippers to book. I know some want to bbq and we can arrange to meet for a few jars after eats. Remember we will need to leave early to get the tide round to Chbg.
Fuscias number is 00 33 2.33.54.42.26
By my reckoning we have the following boats and crew but this is two weeks old and I apologise if we have missed anyone - just let me know.

whats with:-
"Possibly JaneK when she feels up to making a decision"

I was out sailing for 10 days and no laptop to hand.
That'll cost you a dbl G&T for sheer cheek.

JaneK

[Oen]

...add me to the list please!

Yacht Matrix....

There'll be three, four, or five of us (including JaneK - looking forward to meeting you...)

Probably slipping Gosport early on Friday morning with the intention of making St Vaast, or straight to Cherbourg...

[galadriel]

Oen

We will be leaving Chi 0500 Friday bound for CB, what time do you expect to leave Gosport?

[BobE]

Ok at long last Allegretto's up for it with at least three of us and one maybe

Cannot make St Vaast tho'

We'll be at Cherbourg am Saturday..

Cheers Bob E....

[Sailfree]

At present Janes Buoy has 5 (me 2 friends and 2 boatless formites) awaiting a few replies until I put out a spare berth offer.

Off boat so no tide tables. Can anyone advise on tides to St Vaast (Lock openings)say leaving about 22.00 on Thursday pm. Is it E or W of I of W?

[Cutter]

France was south of IoW when I last went across!

[Sailfree]

If I go S through I of W where do I come out? I can find the entrance to the River medina on my AA road map but no exit on S side!!

I have answer now thanks LW Portsmouth 21.19 on 14thSept so will go E of I of W, normally find E is slower than being squirted out the needles!

Anyone else plodding over during Thursday/Fri night?

[StugeronSteve]

Subject to crew commitments, weather and a million and one other variables, we are off early Thursday morning.

[bedouin]

When is "early" on Thursday?

Our final departure time (from Portsmouth) will depend a lot on the weather forecast but it is likely to be about 8-9am on the Thursday - with the objective of getting to St Vaast soon after the lock opens

StVaast is close enough to 180 from Bembridge for this forum. The tide times and lock gates are all discussed on the thread of the subject here

Do you have a dictionary in your grab-bag please?

[waterbuffalo]

There are now a total of three persons on Karis.
We intend to leave Langstone during the early hours of Thursday and hope to arrive in St Vaast mid afternoon.

[Observer]

Provisionally -

Observer - Tim Spring - Fair Prospect - 2 but may be more

[galadriel]

To confirm Galadriel will be leaving Chi harbour on the Friday morning about 0530 at the Bar (beacon, the other one later). We will have four peeps on board. This of course is all subject to weather.

[Morgana]

Steve,

I'm OK with those arrangements... would prefer direct to St Vaast anyway....

Looks less like a flotilla, and more like a race to me.. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

[ozzyb]

Weather permiting etc. SWMBO and I plan to leave Southsea about 05.00 for St Vaast, so we may be leading the "Flotilla". We may make the lock if the wind is kind, otherwise we'll anchor outside till the morning.

[galadriel]

Not planning to go to St Vast, going straight to CB.

[Talbot]

My planning is a little liquid at the moment as I am not sure what boat I will be using. It will be either SWMBO and me in Hi Jude, or we will be joining Boatmike in Peregrine.

Provisional planning is to leave early wed morning to Cherbourg, then a dash round to St Vast on Friday, then join the convoy to Cherbourg on Saturday morning.

So if you make that one boat and 3 peeps we will be about right!

[Sybarite]

Not sure if I can make it this year as I'm gravitating that week between Paris Geneva and Brittany. If I can, I will make my own arrangements and if there is room on the night ok but better not plan on it.

John.
