I was chatting to a couple of fellas with a motorboats at the club last night when this subject came up.
Can I just say, as a personal opinion, that I have no time for the supposed antagonism between motorboaters and sailing folk? As far as I am concerned, I would love it if more club members wanted to join in when we go away on trips. Sure, there are logistical problems, to do with speed mainly.
I see no reason why we could not all meet up at the destination, though, or on a boat in the marina, in the pub, wherever.
To that end, when I post, which will be mostly in the sailing section, having a sailing boat, can I just say that any invitation to cruise with me is automatically extended to ALL craft, not just sailing vessels.
See you next time!

Thought I would be the first to thank you both for the invites and I am sure many motored craft will be taking up your offers in the future. I for one am looking forward to taking the boat to nice coves and harbour's and having a beer, lets face it thats what it is all about isn't it? There are talks about going places with the cruisers and all though we have big engines we do like to chill out and not see the fuel gauge go down to quickly. So here's to good weather and calm sea's

Keep you eye on the forum for anything that anyone's going to do. Would the Round the Island thing on News Year Day be feasible for you? Or am I being silly? Sheila

There are moves afoot to try and increase cruising in company for all next year. In the meantime, as Sheila says, check here or call in the club on a Wednesday.
If you are happy, I can add you to any email list that we make up?

It's all positive and I will spread the word ;D I am trying to encourage more cruisers and fishing guys to use the forum as it is a good communication tool. I know people want to go places next year so bing it on!! If you can make it on the 27th (gig Night) we can all have a chat)
