I say!, that's very obliging! Who's gonna be administering this 'service'?

Well if you're hoping for another Missus/Viking/Nobber offering you'll be out of luck. I think Kevin (AY) has arranged something whereby The Fountain Hotel in Cowes are catering (hence the need for rough numbers?).

Hope to see you over the weekend, Mr Lee-via-Thong!

[jackeen's Missus]

Looking forward to it already. Thanks for organising things Mrs N.

Missus

[Louise]

Stop it now. You know how serious the hard boat brigade is. They'll be believing everything we say!

[jackeen's Missus]

Guess we won't see much of you this weekend...aren't you going on the 'secret' trip???

Missus

[Louise]

Nothing's been decided yet (by me & Mr N anyway). Reckon we'll see you tomorrow at some point? And surely you won't be missing Daniel's Treasure Hunt?

[jackeen's Missus]

Just been reading on RN that you're off to Alderney on Sunday??? but that it's NOT open to all...asked if it was a BIBOA thing but Daniel said it was down to some old politics or something...

Before our time possibly...

Missus

[Louise]

It's certainly been talked about but not sure whether we're doing it. Depends on weather & crew preferences.

Dunno about the politics stuff . I'm just a nobber!

[jackeen's Missus]

Rich seems to know. Said it was by invitation only????

Just being nosy honest as we couldn't make it on Zeb anyways...

Missus

[Louise]

He was only winding you up (I think!). Just seems to have hit the nail on the head by accident.

If the weather's good I reckon Zeb could make it. And, as I said before, there might be a few spaces on other boats.

[jackeen's Missus]

Not wound up at all!!!!Happy as Larry!!!

Prefer open things anyways as I fit in better...

So who IS going then?

Missus Nosy

[Louise]

Dunno. IF we go (and that's a big IF) , you'll be welcome on BI (as ever).

[jackeen's Missus]

No worries...it's not open to us so don't like to intrude. However Daniel said we hadn't upset anyone ...

Bin to Alderney with Julian and Roger Lyas...and may be going via the charity auction...

Don't like to play unless everyone can join in the game that's all..

Actually this secret cruise idea appeals to me. I think I'm going to organise one and not tell anyone. At all at all.
Ye can all feck off.
Actually maybe I won't even tell Jackso.
I mightn't even actually go anywhere. Even better.
Now that would save on the petrol
Wotta a good idea.
No use begging me to come along you lot. You're all banned.
I have my reasons.
I'll just sit somewhere dark and mutter things about ye till they give me some stuff to reduce my paranoia...
Or maybe I'll take the Redjet and fling things at the bulrushes as we pass...
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
It's going to be great. But ye'll never know a thing about it.

Missus

[Louise]

Put down the Windolene, Missus.

[jackeen's Missus]

You're not invited Mrs. N.
I told ya.
I want to talk about you and the Reading Swinging Scene and plan your wedding and it's much better if you're not there...

Missus Secret Society Chief

[Louise]

Just get back to sewing your patchwork boat cover, ya mad li'l leprechaun.

[jackeen's Missus]

Stop trying to get information out of me ...I'm not telling you a thing you hear!!!!

And have you finished knitting the covers for your nav lights yet?
And the set of crocheted doilies for the deck?
