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
Mark

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.
