Just an idea but would anyone in the Solent area be interested in pooling email addresses and letting other interested parties know when you are out in your boat.
Given that these days we most of us carry smartphones and have email access all the time. If you are out and want to see if any other boat madders are out at the same time and want to meet up you can.
Could be a great way to meet new people on here face to face on the water with your pride and joy.
Or if a few people are out it might inspire more people to get in their boats also.
I know many people send threads evenings before etc but this could be a more 'live' way of doing it.
Once the initial email is sent with all interested parties addresses on you'd just need to 'reply all' each time, telling everyone your on the water.
Let me know if there's interest, I'd be more than happy to get it started and start putting somes faces to names out there.
