You mean people rehearse for it? Last year when I crewed for p6rob we only met for the first time on the Friday evening. Went for a curry, quick tour of the boat, short move along to our starting position, a night's kip and up and away. Fortunately the skipper had a decent plan and I'm pretty good at making myself useful. I'm not taking part this year, the NBT had to back out, but I'm hoping to be back with them or someone else for 2020. Feeling a bit jealous of those taking part as the weather forecast seems OK, hope you all enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just let the challenge grow organically. The question is how do you identify with the challenge, how does it make you feel and what colour should it be?

Is it fair of you to not allow it the option to travel elsewhere on the system? It should be a greeny brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob-M Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Just been given the green light to take Scorpio so no change boat required for the weekend. Just need to assemble the crew, plan what we are doing and move the pair to the start point. I'm sure there will be plenty of opportunities across the weekend for criticism of us playing with working boats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t see why anyone would criticise; especially as I’ll be wearing a traditional neckerchief to look authentic. 1 hour ago, Rob-M said: Not that I'm aware of but we have a few between us on the crew.

tree monkey Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Just been passed by NB Dotterel looking very determined. Although that determined look could have been scared by a bloke in hi vis shouting "See you on the BCN" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
