with all my other preparations seemingly made (boat getting closer to working properly, trailer nearly legal, caravan booked, mates interested, single sleeping bag & baby oil packed).......................I'd like to know where the hell my PP is gonna sleep at night.

Help anyone?

it aint easy!

they won't take advance bookings, you just gotta turn up and see what you can sort.

Matt and I were lucky last year, we each got a permanent berth holders place, as the regular occupants were away avoiding the Cowes powerboat week.

we'll be trying to get a similar deal again this year.

so when are you arriving in cowes jon? is it a good idea to arrive as a group so we may possibly get berthed together?

Do you think you'll make all the way to Cowes?

didn't wanna dissapoint!

ya tetchy norvern git.



Loz, for me old, slow, noisy, smelly, smokey clanker, it was about 23 quid a night.

for an ultra reliable 6 million hp drag motor powered, 500mph mirror dinghy, it'll be a little less.

Although prices are based on 'displacement', so you could be in trouble!
