GoGo if you send me the email addresses of everyone in Group 1, I will email them the ID sheet with the inspection times, eg. the final version as you don't have that as it was the version I printed with the times.

Ok thanks
Better make sure that all the others in group 1 have this information as I didnt know there was a time specified, i realized because Skip posted an explanation of the ticket.
Thanks for the fast reply.
We will be there before that time.......

Gogo / Nick - I know some guys from Group 1 / Table 1 - Can you give me the colour of the support boat that they have been asked to line up behind.
All coloured lights and full process details have been meted out to the other 3 large support boats this morning. Imperative to advise all participants delegated to these "mother - ships"   NOT to get close to ALL support vessels to avoid any damage.

TO ALL PARTICIPANTS: Kindly be notified that since I shall have the camera man on board filming the process/rolling start I shall have to roam around to cover as many boats as possible. Moreover I would have to be really forward of the whole group x 5 during the start. Therefore please there is NO need for any shouting on CH67 advising the Directors that "there is a boat ahead of everybody". Thanks Colin

Thanks Tony for the info, appreciate your quick response..the mobile no is mine cos we were not sure if the large Princess was joining us. You are then behind Puttinu 1, the 50 ft one, quite a nice boat, a great jovial owner as Gaffer can testify....hope Gianni (skipper/owner) does not have too much too drink the night before at B'Bugia!! He has invited Gaffer on board so that's good for most of the participants, forsi jibqa rieqed!

@Gaffer would appreciate if you can post a thanks for that great donation we got this morning, which was separate from the Princess advert of course.

The Gauci family (Princess agents) this morning donated the handsome sum of €750 towards the Puttinu fund. Colin and myself were to say the least very pleasantly surprised and we could not stop ourself thanking Charles Gauci forthis generous donation.

@Colin: Do we keep the same mob number or we need to have a new.

[shanook]

Wow well done other money for the Tilly........well done Gauci family. well done Colin and Joe for adding more monies for the Kids

[benri]

thanks to all for the excellent professional organisation - Great job!
Can we kindly get to know which weather forecasts are going to be monitored? Also, when will we be given a confirmation whether the competition should be held or otherwise? Thanks guys

if im not mistaken, go or not will be given tomorrow at 11am. It is being given at this time due to logistics, police, parking, barriers, mobile toilet and drinks etc.

The Gauci family are well reputed for being very charitable. They are better known as "Tal Big Ben", really generous people. FYI the "BLUE" support boat x 50ft is named " BRUNKURT 11".  Puttinu 5 x 54ft "RED" is named EL-CARO.

@Shanook - Its ok my mobile can be used if anybody needs some help but Ch67 is the medium that one has to contact any official, but PLEASE (all) keep this channel as free as possible unless really neccessary.

@ Benri -Thanks you so much for your kind words..we are getting close to the "climax" of the whole journey....its been a long & difficult one too but when you get a donation of 750Euro plus so much support from so many people, the launching of the magazine, the hard work & dedication of all the members...we then feel satisfied that we decided to embark on this mission!

Hi guys,

What time will the event be updated if it's a go or not?

[The_Gaffer]

A decision will be taken by the safety officer, nick and Gogo by 11.00am this morning.

[malvizzu]

Good luck to all participants for tomorrow's big event. May the weather and fish provide an exciting day to all. Tight lines everyone.
