Correct, you can re-fuel in Cowes, though we ask that you do this on the way in to Cowes (ie, before lunch at the Folly), so that the departure from the Folly is straightforward, with everyone together. Like I said, please abide by the few rules that there are, as it makes the job of running the event much easier. When people piss about, holding things up, it all gets very shabby, people get grumpy, and the result is, there won't be another run anytime soon if the greif gets too much.

Every time we do a poker run, the biggest problem is getting everyone to understand the concept of a timetable!
The pokerrun instructions will be posted here soon in detail, but the rough outline is, the breifing will be at 9 sharp, by which time, all boats should already be fueled, in the water, and ready to go.
After the short breifing & and a few questions, everyonr will make their way to Southampton water for the start of the first leg. Now, bearing in mind that it's a 20 odd minute run from Drivers Wharf, down to Dock Head (where the start is) the boats really need to be leaving drivers by 9.30 at the latest!....see the problem?
So, Breifing is at 9am SHARP.
If you can't get up that early, you aint cummin.
Start will be 10am, arrival at The Folly will be around 12-12.30 for lunch (remember, it's a long drag up to the Folly as well)
So the timings are quite important, please, please, please, make every effort to fit within them.
Burty, I haven't actualy done the course yet, but it's likely to be the usual, ie, around 70 miles in total.
Any other questions?

At 70 miles i'll be on fumes!
