It's far more fun that way!!
I may have an extra couple of months this time but don't expect the outside to look any better! Has still got that lovely "hand-crafted" style paint job on the deck

I have a good feeling about this poker run.
the enrty fees are to be the same as last year, ie, £75 for boat & driver, + £25 per additional crew on board.
Grub at the evening bash will be Hog roast as usual, but for the few who don't like that, we'll have a BBQ on the go for anyone to use, so you can bring some stuff of your choice. I think there's only one ot two who don't do the Hog.
A quick question: assuming reasonable weather, how far do the majority want to go? (as in total distance coved during the day by water)
50 miles
60 miles
70 miles
80 miles
More than 80 miles?

Usually around the 70 mile mark.
trying to decide if we could do the length of the Solent within our course (ie, encompasing the NAB tower and Alum Bay, plus the usual darting about.
A bit weather dependant I suppose, but a nice idea if we could.
We could do a 5 mile course for 'HIM' if you like.

Wasn't the may 06 one about 70 miles? Seems silly to do less (weather excepting) - you end up spending hardly any time boating.

Yes, of course.
We generally have a pretty good idea of how things will pan out by the day before, and always have a gaywater course ready for Lawrence Philp & any ribs entered.

anywhere between 50yds and 51yds sounds good just enough to get wet then get back and have a beer
Seriously though, 50 to 70 miles seems ok 
Did Geoff P settle the question of the length of my Cat??

No, not yet, I actually wanted to ask Joe Donohoo yesterday, as I had to drop some props off to him, but managed to be late arriving (as usual) so he'd gone by the time I got to his workshop, so we only had a few minutes on the phone, and I forgot to ask.
But be patient, I WILL get to the bottom of it.
