Day Sail to Jacksons Bay for a BBQ - Sat 9th Oct

[Camelot]

A second BBQ for those who can't make 11th Sept (see:- cardiffyachtclub.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=boardannouncements&action=display&thread=793 ).


The plan is to lock out at 09:30ish (an hour after HW) and sail to Jacksons Bay. All bring a disposable/portable BBQ and food. I'll take my dinghy and am willing to ferry people ashore, though it would be helpful if someone else were to bring one too.

I can't vouch for the others, but I will go on Katy and Matt said he is going to take Sunbeam, assuming the weather will be BBQ friendly, of course!

I'm going - kids have buckets and spades at the ready, so hopefully the weather will be kind!

[allan]

I'm having a weekend off sailing this weekend, although I am going to see a boat, so no withdrawal symptoms! I hope it is as much fun as last year.

PS, Don't forget, someone else will need to take the cheese board.

Enigma may join the happy throng depending on Friday's weather as we are thinking of sailing over to Portishead for the night so may join you from there on Saturday. If we don't do Portishead then we may just join the BBQ cruise.

[sheila]

I have got a couple of spare instant bbq's if anyone needs one - when I can get Vince to dig them out of the cupboard that is!

[vikingsmb]

i would like one, as i dont think homebase etc have them now due to end of season

The weather for Saturday is still forecast to be lovely and SUNNY!! And the forecast Easterlies would suit joining us from Portishead. Lets hope the forecast stays more or less the same; though a little bit of North in the wind direction would be nice - or is that just asking a bit too much?

We're supposed to be picking up our new engine on Sat, but that may now be Friday. Either way, we may try and zoom down in the car for an hour or two.

Cassandra will probably be there. We too may spend Friday night away. Portishead? Weston?

anyway, hopefully see you there

Peter, Elaine, maybe Karen

[sheila]

Who, if anyone, is bringing a dinghy/tender to get us all ashore? Last year Vince did the terndering (along with Matthew, Sunbeam) but as Alana is not going...................?

[Deleted]

we have a dinghy ..however not sure about the weather?? ..a bit windy for our liking

don't think we're going anywhere tonight. hopefully it will calm down a bit for tomorrow.

if I'm there, I'm happy to ferry people (it's a small wet ride though) but don't rely on it - sorry

Peter

[Deleted]

Huw has said he is taking his dinghy, and I will be taking mine. I can ferry people ashore as long as the battery holds out!

[vikingsmb]

Unfortuantly julian is unable to take me as crew for tomorrow , this is a last ditch attempt please,
does anyone need crew tomorrow, or be happy to take an extra body tomorrow please as I would like to go tomorrow as I missed last week,
my mobile no is [xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]
Kind regards
Rob

[Angie (Camelot)]

We'll have our dinghy and happy to ferry. think the wind and will be quite acceptable once we're round lavernock point.

[Camelot]

Well that didn't go to plan. I think most of us have turned back, maybe a bbq at the club instead?

[vikingsmb]

I'm really sorry to hear that it didn't go to plan, was it the conditions in the channel then huw,
hopefully I can make next year, also I have a new job as well

[sheila]

I've just looked at the weather conditions for Flat Holm. A recorded high wind speed of 39 mph at 12.13. A bit blowy?
The barrage recorded 26 mph at 12.35
We spent a few pleasant hours in the club though, catching up with people and then home to have our BBQ food for tea, to be cooked in the comfort of a warm kitchen with the TV on! Ah, domestic bliss.
Also just spoken to my sister in Southampton who is also bemoaning the lack of the forecast sunhine and warm temperatures.

[vikingsmb]

Sheila, there is always next year , by then I may have my own yacht

[sheila]

Keep saving then Rob!

[vikingsmb]

lol,
quick question
when is the cruising racing starting then?

[Camelot]

I think the frost bite series started the weekend before last. The racing doesn't really stop, as one event finishes there always another on the horizon, with the various clubs around the BC there's an event to be had most weekends through the Summer and the frostbite for the winter. Also a noteworthy race for us is the 'friendly' boxing day +1 race.

Why's that Rob? I didn't have you down as a racer!

[vikingsmb]

I wouldn't mind racing with someone on a cruiser and that means sailing not power,
good thing is I will be able to make the boxing day race this year
as I now work in Lloyds Pharmacy PLC as a supervisor mon-fri

You supervising drugs is REALLY scary!!!
