CVRDA

We are just leaving.....6.30pm eta God only knows, some time after midnight.

Will do, thanks Alan. Is there still a snack van for lunches?

We will be there Friday. As a veggie should I bring my own bbq?

I will attempt to find them and load them on. We are bringing a double trailer so should be ok.

We are hoping to be there on Friday. Plans have changed and we're not going on to Travemundw, so we're now bringing Aggie boat wise, plus our dogs.

Thanks again.

Looks like we will give it a miss. A shame as I had almost persuaded her indoors to sail with me!
