Portsmouth Harbour row Friday May 26 meet 1600

[Chris Partridge]

The largest ship ever to enter Portsmouth Harbour is due to visit on Friday, arriving early in the morning and departing around 1900. She is the German cruise liner Mein Schiff and she is 295m long. Let's go and see her leave.
Here's the plan...
1600 Meet at the boat park and load boat(s) onto trailer(s).
1700 Leave for Hardway (Gosport)
1800 Launch at Hardway
2000 Recover Hardway
2100 Return Langstone.

Of course, as of today we have no boats or trailers and we will need someone to tow. Let's hope all three emarge...

Yes please for me and a lift if possible.  Joan

We are just coming into Portsmouth Harbour in the ferry with all the boats. Would you like us to leave some of them on trailers for you? Any preference?

[Chris Partridge]

Could you leave Sallyport on her trailer!

Hi,
I’d love to do this if you think it would be suitable? Can give a lift if needed as long as I know where I’m going!

Thanks, Josie

[Chris Partridge]

Hi Josie,
This is not going to be a hard row and I think you will be fine. See you there!

[Dave & Josie]

Thanks Chris!

[Liz Walmsley]

Yes please if there is room for another plus lift would be good, but understand if there is not!  Will watch this space…..

[Julie A]

Hi Chris,
Is there room for another one?

[Chris Partridge]

Hi Julie, we will need a few more takers before we can put on another boat but you are first reserve .

It has to be said that wind speeds predicted for tomorrow are a little concerning. I will post this evening with an upalate.

[Julie A]

Hi Chris,
Don't worry, I've signed up to the Ferryboat row on Sat so if there's still room I'll do that one instead.
Thanks,
Julie

[Chris Partridge]

The wind forecast has calmed down a bit and it will be sunny so we are good to go, I hope. See you all at the boat park.

[Dave & Josie]

Hi Chris
Can I just check the meet time at the boatyard?

I can take up to 3 people but will need directions.

Thanks - Josie

[Chris Partridge]

We meet at 1600. See you there!

Ps don't know why the leader said 1500... sorry about that

[Dave & Josie]

Thanks!
