But due to Ana we have to shove 30kg of lead balast under her seat to make minimum class weight. See below...
I am buying James a drink, and JF if he makes it. Would be cool to meet you there.

Likewise so far the closest I have come to Anna and yourself is hooraaaring and clapping at prize giving at a few of your many trophy collecting achievements 
PS... is that James of Lionhead who as we chat is lying in a very good position in what seems so far a very capable Goldfish

Does anyone know WHERE in Edinburg the boats will be arriving?
There appear to be two main docks, but several possibilities...

Newcastle leg
We are looking to go to meet them on Saturday & watch them depart on Sunday morning in Newcastle
I assume they will be arriving & berthing in Tynemouth.
Has anyone got any precise details of where they will be? We intend to take a boat so does anyone know where there is a public slip nearby
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance

Sinkunito...your help is appreciated
Checking on the royal quays website they do not have a slip & i am sure they will be full that weekend although i will call tomorrow & check
We will be bringing a 18ft boat on a trailer. Is there a slip nearby we can launch/retrieve or is their another marina where we could launch & keep overnight on Saturday
Finally can you recomend a hotel nearby?
Left it a bit late but just found out we can get there this weekend
