I was going to be coming but due to breaking my elbow yesterday I think I'm going to have to pass. Was really looking forward to going as never been there before.

Fancy that allowing a little matter like a broken arm to stop you sailing. What's wrong with using your teeth.

More seriously get well soon and we will miss you at an event I am looking forward to attending.

Really wish that I could be there. If I am able to drive I'll pop along to spectate on one of the days.

I'm going. I've even bought a tent I can stand up in which doesn't need the help of George Love and Keith Bartlett to erect. :D

I can recommend sleeping in the car. If it is good enough for our chairman it must be good :D :D :D

Car camping is ok for one night, two nights at a push. But then that all depends on the car though.

Sorry to hear that Kevin.
Hope it's not the elbow you use to support yourself at the bar?

Sorry Guys, I won't be at Stokes Bay this time, I booked a holiday some time ago. Greece needs me to help pay off their debt (not too much of it I hope!).

Nothing wrong with sleeping in the car....but not recommended when you're with the wife!

Have a good sail.

I’m unable to go due to being on Holiday in France, I did the Dart 18 open their earlier in the year and it was a great club and venue, PS do not tell anyone but stay really close to the beach up and sometimes down the beat.

Sorry to hear about your arm Kevin hope it get better soon.

Sleeping in the car is my normal choice, two things to consider when deciding to sleep in the car.

1) Is it comfortable

2) This is the most important, how easy is it to get out off in the middle of the night for a waz. :cry:

Enjoy

Dear Howard, I trust you are keeping well.

I well remember your previous tent. Especially when on one night, a renowned sailor from Seasalter baptized it with a barrel of his finest!
