you are going to race against your own boat, from within your own boat?

That sounds tricky

That's ok mate, there's just massive hurdles to jump if it's classed as a race, it's just a pleasure run and meet up for like minded people and for charity!
I know what you meant like!
let's get back on track here anyway the course is set, the date is set so if your in your in if your not then that's ashame!
As iv said there isnt many places left so grab them whilst you can.

Mike

All rooms taken

All the room have now been taken for the 2 nights so it is now camping only.

Just a note, a few people have said they will bring there motor home or sleep on there boats. There is no access to the venue, Piel island apart from via boat so it's literally camping only, sleeping on your boat is not possible as the ferry stops running at 7pm ish and the pub will be open till late so getting back to your boat drunk in the dark in a dinghy is a recipe for disaster!

So camping only

Update

I can now say that we have Malcolm Casson on board who is a professional and very experienced powerboat photographer!
There should now be some very good shots of your boats belting along offshore.

Is Terry Newton not attending with Faberge his 28ft Phantom
We might all pop over on the Jet Skis from Stannah for the day and also bring the quad copter with gopro attached for some good ariel footage.
Steve Hutch are you launching from stannah or towing the boat up to barrow?

Steve and the other are launching from the yard of the weather allows!
That would be great if you would do that! Some good footage for the DVD / film

There is a jetski that's signed up so feel free to enter the actual poker run if you like?

am going to ask the lads as when we normally launch at stannah we always head over to piel so could be a good shout as have camped on there many times. Usually about 10 of us but may need to also bring boat over with camping stuff in...

That would be ace if you lot came over and joined in too! Sure there will be one way or another to get your camping stuff there?

Thanks mate it's got a good home now! And a much better engine, got a bargain on the lot and nearly made my money back off the yam
Yep no prop got £50 off for that though!

It's an awesome boat mate, handles perfect! The daft ladders on the back are coming off and possibly the rails on the bow too?

What's ski have you got?
Mike
