September 10th/11th

Who reckons they'll have their boats going by/still going, for the weekend of September 10/11?

Honda have a F4SA race in Guernsey that weekend!

It always used to be a great venue, well worth a trip over. (as long as it's 'Ray-Ban' weather!)

Don't team up with R-Don or you'll only be going at 25 knots.

re-fuel at Yarmouth, and again at Cherbourg or Alderney.

I can get there and back on a tank! (that's about £120)

Fuel will be cheaper at Alderney although you need to be there at a decent part of the tide.

Poole -> Alderney is 58nm and then Guernsey is about an hour from there.

Count me in!

Cheers

25 to Needles

70 from Needles to Alderney

25 from Alderney to St Peter port.

Guernsey

I'm going to cheat. Aurigny Airlines Gatwick to Guernsey! (about £50 return).

My mate in Guernsey now has a Sunseeker and rang me today to invite me over, (he saw this post)

P.S unleaded is currently 51p a litre over there.

Gouliot Passage

How about a Gouliot Passage (between Brecqhou and Sark) challenge!

Highest boat out the water buys the beers?

Steve Bourne trying on an earlier attempt.
