BS: Yacht sailing opportunity 25 - 29 May

Hi all.

I've got a boat booked from Plymouh 25 - 29 May (over the Bank Holiday). Five crew so far (including me) so one space. But it's a big boat (41') so we could take up to 7 or even 8 if we have to, if two want to come.

Plymouth - Falmouth - Dartmouth area, depending on tides and weather. £200 - £250 or so. No experience needed.

Ach, Schantieman, ya make my mouth water, you know. But you have to understand that flying to England for a weekend is not on my budget just now. And, well, you wouldn't want me violating my budget, would you? So, sadly, I must let this golden opportunity pass.

God, I wish I had more money in the bank right now! (I'll have to make do with the canoe on Georgian Bay.) Sounds like my kind of fun.

Wish you all well.

Peace, Mooh.

Hey - tell you what.....

Quite a few Catters from across the pond have expressed an interest in sailing with me. Maybe a few of you could get together and come over - I could show you Cowes, Hamble and all those other yottie places.

Or maybe you'd fly me over and I could drive a boat for you is Chesapeake bay or somewhere???

Clashes with Chippenham folk festival, otherwise I'd've found you a couple of volunteers...

Ah yes, Chippers.

Still, if someone wants to come and join us further west on Monday evening, that might be possible????
