Hello Malcolm,
Thank you for taking on the organising. I know it is more work than it appears.
Ladybird is planning on joining, with the noisy crew!
However, Erin and Joshua are back at school on 6 June so they cannot extend the trip. Although I am quite happy to manage that and deal with the weather changes as it happens.
I could always as a last resort send them home on the train with Lyndsey and recover the boat myself.
If we are lucky with the weather again this trip will be fantastic.
I would like to say to all the less experienced Cape Cutter skippers, don't worry too much about the tone of the Clyde Cruising Club Sailing Directions and all the warnings.
These are written in a very precautious, "you can't say we didn't warn you" way to cover for those people of the world with more money than sense who keep the RNLI busy by buying a boat and taking it out with no experience, training or planning at all.
We will be fine, tides are predictable!
Andrew
Ladybird.
