	Hi Mark, we might just do that. Always enjoyed Mumbles, helm being a Swansea boy, I'll check if I've got enough brownie points. We've got Bala coming up and Tresaith open at the end of the month.

	On your way back home why not pull into Mumbles as it is the Gower Challenge on the 22-23 May. Also, F18's and Windsurfers have made the trip from Mumbles to Ilfracombe so Cardiff to Weston should be a peace of cake as long as there is enough wind to beat the tide! Good luck

	Cardiff Yacht Club have kindly offered that we can launch there so we'll have a blast around the bay first, if we have to drop the main it can be done from on board at a push. I'm looking forward to it.

	One option would be to launch off of the beach at Penarth next to the pier. Cant remember seeing a ramp on the promenade when I last went into Cardiff or stopped for lunch off of Penarth but it would be an option.

	That sounds like a great idea - I keep staring at Cardiff from WSM beach thinking it would be nice to pop over for lunch on the Moth...

	Craiggo, thank for the info, at a push I guess we could get the main up from onboard but it's not easy. I am a bit concerned should we have to get out with any sort of wind behind us....reversing through with a rib each end (tug fashion)could be an option. I'll have a chat with the Harbour master before we go and beg his permission. Contender443, oh yes that Weston, we were thinking more of the one with Super Mare after it . We're not alloud too much towing because it's supposed to be environmentaly friendly.

	What are you guys talking about. Hitch up the trailer get onto the M4, go across the bridge, keep on the M4 until J13, take the A34 south, then the M3 followed by the M27 leaving at J8 (I think). Weston is just past Netley, watch out the entrance is surrounded by trees!
