I'm afraid you'd never get me doing something like this, I'm no-where near as brave as you!

It's certainly worth trying to find more pressed men volunteers here on the Mudcat, but the chances of there being a huge percentage of foolhardy brave souls in the UK with time available to them on these particular dates while being Folkies here on the Mudcat too, well that's statistically cutting down your chances of success. I reckon you've done well Steve!

Now, if all the Catters in the UK who saw this thread would just mention this unique opportunity to any of the people they would like to see drowned in the Solent of their friends you might stand a better chance of gathering a couple more crew *grin*
