Poole Posse... this Sunday13.6.04

[jackeen's Missus]

A decision was taken over refreshments on Sunday Evening (after RIBEX in the Fountain Hotel) to support Carly and Matt (the other one) in the Basic Race at Poole this weekend.
Martin And Anto (experienced Safetyboaters that they are) are keen and Daniel (DJL) from RIBNET and Pete 7 :up:
The Jackeens will go anywhere they're invited as usual, Suzuki & Troy may be there...& Brian Whiteshoes...
A Forum Giant may be around for a few jars so we can drag some stories out of him. Red Mist will be around as will Sizer.
Also Mark Wildey will be there.
Machew & Vicki might be down.
Anyone else around???
Can't decide whether to drive or boat down yet,
Depends on wevver forecast I guess.

Missus:D

[Mark Wildey]

Does anyone know what time the racing finishes as I need to travel north of Ringwood and I don't like being out when its getting dark:aaahhh:

Cheers

Mark

[Ruby Murry]

We are up for going to Poole to support Carly Baby, by boat would be good if the weather is fine.....otherwise the car is drier!

We will need to get back before it gets dark otherwise we get scaredy.:wotzhapni

Martin and Anto

[jackeen's Missus]

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat!!!

Team Backdraft are expecting a posse so we'll try for boats if it's good wevver ...wagons roll if it's poor...

:up: :up:

We'll follow you SafetyBote Eggsperts,

Missus:D

[jackeen's Missus]

Looking good

[Carl]

morning all,race start is 12.00 and will last less than an hour,prize giving at the royal motor yacht club,panorama road,sandbanks, poole, 01202 707227 at 3.00, and the weather is looking good at the mo:banana:

[Admiral P. Brain]

ok this time for sure the RedMist Racing Team will be there!! as its not too far!!

rest of you guys can make a real trip from your calm solent pond and come round HH to see some proper seas!!
better stock the fuel barge for Matt!!

saying that the forecast looks good, fingers crossed...

I presume the race is on sunday with testing on saturday?
I though most boats launched from salterns??
If not are we able to get into RMYC to see the prize giving, there a bit snooty round there!!

[Carl]

testing sat from 2.00-4.00 and sunday race,boats to be crained at salterns the rest will use the slip at rmyc,as for snooty,yes they are,and i guess it will be luck of the draw,give them a ring and see what they say

[Admiral P. Brain]

will do cheers look forward to seeing you.... you'll recognise us we will be in our white and red uniforms!! we get a lot of strange comments but we just dont care!!!

[Sizer]

Wheres the best spot to be to see the racing from shore, might take my nipper down to have a look and takes some photos?

Any other info on the event appreciated...

Cheers

[Carl]

def bournemouth pier,there is a mark just south of the pier,so we will go close to it and the start run also goes past the pier,and i think there will be a commentary aswell

[jackeen's Missus]

Cameras on charge...it will be nice to see Red Mist also.

Suzuki Pete & Troy are coming down too if he can sew his toobs back together.

Sizer do you want to come along in a boat...there should be room? TD do you want parking space on a RIB...see how the other half live? We could organise refreshments :D

Missus (oooops better go to work:aaahhh: ):D

[termite]

Hmm, might bring the oil burner down for this. Anyone have a map of the course, don't want a rib straying across the path of an 80 mph pointy thing. If not where will the start line be ?

Paul can you post one of your map thingies of Poole bay on here for ppl to draw the course on ?

T

[Admiral P. Brain]

The starter solenoid bust last wkend so we are waiting for a new one from barrus!!
We have the main man Garry from Purbeck Marine on the case so hopefully we are back in the brine for sat am!!

[Carl]

yep,need to get boscombe pier in aswell

[jackeen]

this better !!

better get me a bucket :puker:

[Admiral P. Brain]

home sweet home !! you can see my flat?? another sh*ty week in London!!!!

[Carl]

yep

[termite]

Right then, thats the navigation sorted and I will bring me AA map as well just in case. More important thing is what are people doing for lunch ? race finishes 1pm ish, hoepfully the ribs won't have to tow anyone home, therefore dash to Town Quay to moor up for lunch ?

T

:drink:

[jackeen's Missus]

Sounds good Terminator!!!

Now that you're going we'll follow you !!!!!

:up: :up:

Missus

(General Peter Seven nav. systems)

[termite]

You really do like following others off the edge of the world into the abyss don't you :no:

So 10 am Sunday Haslar Creek ?, need to pick up some heavy oil first after last nights skull duggery with pirates and avoiding the excise men.

T

:seaman:

[Sizer]

Thanks for the offer Misses, only just realised the sites still working, none of the email links where...lol

The whole family will be going though, was thinking about taking the boat but still not brave enough!!

I'll prolly let the kids play on the beech to so it'll keep them quiet. Hopefully Ill get some good photo's though and ill post some of the better ones up here.

If I see ya off the pier ill give ya a wave.....

[jackeen's Missus]

We would have accompanied you Sizer (at a safe distance:laugh: )
Great to hear you'll be there...look out for a few RIBS in a cluster:D

Missus :wave:

[Carl]

[jackeen's Missus]

Missus Worrier :up:

[Sizer]

We'll get there, I got as far as Netley from Itchen Tuesday night.....lol

[jackeen's Missus]

Good for you Sizer :up:

Missus :wave:

[Carl]

I'd like to but just havent got the space. And carly, could you slow down a bit next time its damn hard taking photos of boats at 70mph+ :)

[jackeen's Missus]

We had such a great day today...

But the BIG NEWS is Carly and Matt and the beautiful Rainbow Boat came in 3RD

On their first outing!!!!

Well done Podium Peeps :up: :up::D :D

AND they got a trophy for the BEST Prepared boat & general prep for the race....

You've done Boatmad Proud!!!!!

And thanks for taking the time to come over and see your supporters :up: :up:

The Support Posse

[jackeen's Missus]

Most things went according to plan. That's easy cos we planned as we went along.
Terminator, Robin & Jackeens left Pompey almost on time....then met up with Martin, Anto, Sally,...Crew Timboli (Paul, Sue , Timothy) AND Matt, Vicki and Luisa at Calshot :up: :up:

At Yarmouth we loaded up with fuel met a Kerryman (!) who was all talk :up: and said goodbye to Terminator who had a battery issue...:cry: and Matt who was just pootling around the Solent for the day :wave:

Then onto Poole where we almost kept entirely out of the way of the Powerboats ...and we hitched up to a Buoy. Saw you Mark busy doing safety boat with Jellignite...looked towards the pier where Sizer was perched :wave: and Rockey and gang came over to say hello , great to meet ye.

The weather was lovely, there were crowds on the beach and the raceboats were very exciting to watch. As the race ended, Carly and Matt drove over to say hello to the motley posse :up: and then went in to complete the paperwork & presentations etc.

Missus

[willowkis]

WELL DONE Carly and Matt :banana: :banana: :banana:

[jackeen's Missus]

It was a bit bouncy where we were anchored but we had a few sandwiches anyway cos we're tuff ribstas and then we headed back to Alum Bay where we anchored up, and sat in the sun, had choccy and bubbly (:D ) and then went off for another spin to Yarmouth. Into the Kings Head to check for Whiteshoes ( :D) and we had some more refreshments...got some ice-cream at the pier and young Timothy drew a cartoon of the race (talented like his mum, Sue :up: )...
Last scoot across the Solent where we waved goodbye to RIB Tenacity and Timboli and Robin and the Jackeens headed back to Haslar for a sundowner...that's when Carly rang us with the Race Report and we picked up messages from Whiteshoes and Terminator (sorry to have checked so late)...

Robin then made the last leg alone to Hayling :wave: and we got home in time for The Big Match.
It was a brill day, thanks everyone for your lovely company, Timothy for your brill drawing and big congrats to Team Explosion for doing us all proud. :up:
Wish you were all there but JW has asked for the news so hope you can imagine it all :up:
(Oh I picked up a rope on the way back & tested the strength of the steering wheel as my hubby crashed into me on a dead stop!!! :D)

Missus (such a lovely day)

[jackeen's Missus]

Willow that's really beautiful :up:
