Graham....I believe Ade is coming to Sheppey.

Loco is game and Jamie and Digby are planning to hitch a lift on the double stacker with Cheese Before Bedtime, as long as Jamie has recovered from nearly being picked up by the girl in the chippy on the way home from Chew...

...but as for Sheppey being like the Bahamas? That's up there with 'My little beach hut in Dudley...near the canal' (bring your own shopping trolley)

So 9/10 boats so far. I note Banshee Ambulance is a possible and there are some more to chase.

sounds like a good story this, more analysis of the 'pick up' situation is requested... were they good chips?

Sweet Dreamzzz is a no for Sheppey. We have decided we need more practice time and less travelling time. At Chew  we spent too much time in the water instead of on it. So we will therefore be sailing at home - trying to improve. We will be up for Weston and the rest though.

I saw the race officer on Sunday, he is happy for us to have a seperate start and was going to bring it up at the committee meeting on Monday night. This will depend on having enough boats, but seemed happy with around 8/9.
The other side of the coin is that sometimes its great to see how you do against other classes, and they could just seperate the results for the travellers if we wish.

I am afraid that I we are unlikely to be at Sheppey. We have had enough of the weather and are booking a week away.

We also still have some bits to do on A+E and have not yet sailed her.

I'm a definite possible depending on which time zone I think i'm in at the time, and assuming that North korea don't attack Seoul whilst I'm still here...

Good work. Can you fix me a hangover cure for Saturday morning as well?

The water will still be cold enough to cure any hangover.

A pint of it will replace any salt lost through dehydration too.

A hangover cure for Saturday? Start as you mean to carry on I suppose. Do you know which shiny ship you will be bringing?
