Yachts : Middle East Cruise

Avoid the busy Solent in August and for a change head East. To take advantage of tides and any issues with locking out at Chichester or LW at the Bar, the fleet will meet in Gosport [Premier] Marina on Sunday evening for Briefing. Leaving on Monday morning to catch the tide at the Looe Channel the plan will be to arrive at Littlehampton approx. 1.5hr before HW [1453]. Rafting up will be on the east bank visitors pontoon with water, electric but limited number of showers. For supper enjoy Fish & Chips in the cockpit from the quayside. As a lay day on Tuesday there is an opportunity to walk, bus or if adventurous take the dinghy up to Arundel, with a pub lunch stopover on the way. On Wednesday a lunchtime departure back to Gosport could finish with a Chinese at the Great Wall. Cruise notes will be sent out in the preceding week and Briefing will be at 1800 in Gosport on Sunday 18 August. When booking on the list please ensure all your boat details are up to date, for the Harbour Master’s information.
