Hi John, spoke to Mike tonight via telegraph. We've set the date for the 20th....was balmy last year...I hope is again. If like this weekend, we're all going to need some whale blubber to smear on our faces..

Am in the process of getting DIXIE DISHWASHER ready and willing (immersion suit already packed). Hope to see you there. N

[Rapier]

Almost set to go...awaiting ignition switch from the US and a good wash wax and loads of ACF-50 for DIXIE, if calm. Miss Daisy to be run up if choppy.

Weather watch says that it'll be light rain and 18mph winds on Sat, which will prove unpleasant. It may improve between now and Sat. Sun seems a better bet, but is likely to interfere with prior planning on your ends. I'll keep you posted.

[Alacrity]

18mph = top end of a force 4 That will not be nice. Agree Sunday seems the better day but I, for one can't make it then. A real shame as we have had some perfect days this week. Fingers crossed it changes between then & now.
