GSC Regatta - Stuff to know
Posted: Mon Aug 14, 2017 8:20 pm
Assuming the weather co-operates the aim is to do some sailing........ and have some fun
Saturday 26th HW 14.55, Launch by 13.30, Start 14.00 hrs
Sunday 27th HW 15.32, Launch by 14.00, Start 14.30 hrs
Monday 28th HW 16.13, Launch by 14.45, Start 15.15 hrs (although HW is 8.05m so deep draught boats may choose to decline...)
Tasks to be set dependent on the weather but we aim to do a Lighthouse run on Saturday and a Snatchems trip on Sunday in the first instance, but can re-arrange to suit attendees and weather.
Because of the later tides and some of the ladies being involved in a more important engagement (wedding !) the food provision will be very much a 'Jacobs Join. Yes there's a BBQ on Saturday night and Sunday night but people need to bring their own stuff (be generous and imaginative) as they see fit. Anything brought needs to be cooked by themselves and cleared up afterwards by themselves.
As per Val's posting there's going to be a cracking group on on Saturday night and guests are welcome.
There's jobs to be done.... drivers, race starters, brew makers, patrol boat crews etc but I don't want to over-organise things and would prefer to let things happen. Let me know if you want to 'bags' a job.
Keep an eye on the weather and fingers crossed.
Regards
Roger
