[Steve Woods]

Crew,

OK we can only fill one boat today. Sorry Francis and Nigel,  I was thinking a crew swap at Emsworth, but mindful of the weather and the potential of not making it to the Jetty. Please give consideration to organising rows tomorrow and Friday as best of the weather?

Today:

Steve, Geoff, Andy, Dee, Rachel, Barry.

Meet Red Compound 12:30
Trolley boat to LAR office collect Oars etc
Launch off Marina slip
Row possibly marker
Make for Emsworth jetty water/ wind permitting
Tea time 2pm ish  Ron and Cheryl may well join us.
cast off and return to stow boat and gear.

I will bring fenders and paddle prodders  

Cheers




Crew,

Mindful of the disruption to folk up north and the flooding threat, not so jolly for some fellow Islanders. Meanwhile I ponder what to do for the midweek row, my fir cones suggests Wednesday and my bladderwrack the rising tide for one bell gone, so on the water for 1pm ish . Plan is to navigate swear deep and beyond in the St Alyes Skiffs so please bring £2.00 pin money, tea money just in case and a sense of humour not to mention layers both insulating and water repellent/proof !. x2 boats can take a crew of x6 each.  Please check the forum on the morning.  Thursday a possible option, anyone want to lead another row that day ?  

Cheers

Hello, I can see the numbers are looking awkward to join in now, but I have suddenly become available. If anyone pulls out....my no is 07443 332209, maybe I might fill in? Or maybe, if anyone else is thinking of signing up, we might fill the secondboat? Obviously happy to not turn up if numbers wont work
Frances

[Frances]

As there have been no other sign ups, and I am 'over the numbers' for one boat frm Northney, I will definately not come. Hope you have a super row.
Frances

[Dee]

Silly question you my think but do we meet at the pontoon or the compound as I see the tide is out at 12.30 ??

[Andy Mac]

Blue compound Dee.

Faciing the North slipway, the blue compound is on your right hand side and the two Skiffs are right up the end.
Andy

[Dee]

Cheers Andy

[Steve Woods]

Thanks Andy, Blue compound Dee, we will pause by the LAR unit to stow the necessary. As you have noted,  not a lot of water but a useful neap on the flood tide, we will take great care of each other and the boat to launch safely on the marina slip and pontoon.

Cheers

Hiya Guys

Yet another fine row for which many thanks to Steve for arranging.

A chilled drive home listening to Muddy Waters & The Beached Buoys rendition of " Round round get aground, I get aground. "
