Would dressing overall and a 21 gun salute be de trop?

What about your notion of a June/July weekend?

Dressing overall wid make a nice change.
June July wid be splendid - we'll have a look at that a bit nearer the time. The daughter is due to calve on July 4th so it could be an occasion for drink to be taken

Well of course it's good to have an occasion to celebrate. Staying dry works for me.

Nah. Brogues are strictly the province of the conservatory-owning classes.

I take it then that boat-sharing with tcm is out of the question? Admittedly it'd be a bit of a come-down for the Cruise Director to be crewing.

To be honest - I've given up trying to understand dear old TCM

Cruising

Post by DaveS »

My thoughts are still to participate in both of these prestigious events. With regard to the CC / 3NC / Delivery trip, I had thought of rendezvousing (sp?) at the bottom of Kintyre, say at Sanda? That would give me a few days before for Clyde cruising then a possible later rendezvous after going back outside Kintyre. If this makes sense, what date would be appropriate? (weather permitting, etc., etc.)

3 May

Apart fae the elections - speaking o which, while organisin masel a postal vote I've had a look at the new STV arrangements fur the coonsellers: Goad, it's richt complicated - an ah've fund an error in the arithmetic which I've pintit oot, no that that'll mak me verra popular...

Onywey, despite earlier assurances, it seems that a do, aifter a, yince again this year, hae a meetin in Lunnon on the 3rd. The guid news is it's in the mornin only, so a mid-evenin start frae Craobh is nae necessarily ruled oot.

So whare are we gaen, then?

What's the forecast like? :)

As is now traditional, I rather fancy not circumnavigating Mull again.

Have you got tide tables to hand?

Berths, weather & tides

Post by DaveS »

Plenty spare berths so far (for both Cruises in my case).

Don't know about the weather... :)

I have a tide table. On Thu 3 May it's springs, with Oban HW at 1920 BST. That would also mean a SW bound tide on the Friday morning. Would a suitable rendezvous for the Thursday evening be the VBs at the L. Melfort Hotel?
