September 10th/11th

[Jon Fuller]

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!)

 

[Matt]

That might give me enough time.

 

[Gav]

i fancy a go at that! how far is guernsey?

 

[Matt]

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

 

[Jon Fuller]

How far is Guernsey?

Abart a 100 statute miles from Sarfampton, but don't go fkkn telling me I'm wrong all you fkkn nobbas, coz I said Abart, as in approx, awright!

 

[Jon Fuller]

That might give me enough time.

Well you'd better get ya darncin trarsers on and get that fkkn boat goin, innit!

 

[Matt]

Kinnell, not sure I can carry enough fuel for that.

 

[Jon Fuller]

Kinnell, not sure I can carry enough fuel for that.

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

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

 

[Matt]

I'm not sure I own anything that ain't broken at the moment.

Well you'd better get ya darncin trarsers on and get that fkkn boat goin, innit!

 

[Tony Davis]

That might give me enough time.

i think jon L jr is planning on going and taking a small clan of 3 or 4 boats jony. might be work askin him, i remember him sayin about a jaunt to guernsey

 

[Jon Fuller]

Could be a bita fun, I think I'll mark it as a definite go-er, weather permitting.

 

[Mark Wildey]

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

 

[Cookee]

Could be a nice trip after Cowes weekend! Only 80 - ish from Salcombe I think!

 

[Captain Chaos]

[Jon Fuller]

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.

Less than that I thought it was 64 - 69 NM used to go a lot in my dad Sunseeker. Mr Stone delivered a 16 foot seaskate from Salcombe to the Channel Islands u should be fine Cookee!

 

[Ciao]

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.

 

[Jon]

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

Team up with Matt and youll be eating sausage sarnies in the boat yard!
