I guess to day is the day when we find out the runners and riders in the annual Salcombe Entry lottery. |
Indeed it is! |
Can't bear the tension, hope that £50 bribe included in the envelope does the trick....only joking...... it was £100..... |
If it is like that make mine £125!! |
Dear John- Please get the web cams to work, then we wouldn't need the SYC website. Thanks. |
Ok, here we go......................., try |

There's only 83 down at the mo...? |
Its a FIX !!! |
I count only three female helms...and Jude!! Where are you!?!??! |
wot is the max entry these days |
Coo there's the one to watch - definitely a "Wild Card" with Roger Gilbert (2nd helm Endeavour Trophy) and James Stewart (1st crew Endeavour Trophy). Looks like the Rs's have realised that Merlins have fun!! |
Megan 9+83 = 101 or maybe accounting for dodgy arithmetic 100? |
Definately dodgy maths! me thinks that 83 + 9 = 92! Which is what the Salcombe Harbour Master thinks too! ( The new one can count..........................) |
Definitely! |
no way we can hit the magic 100 with dis mafs |
Multiply 46 x 14ft = 644. The width of the start line = 643ft |
dide by three = about 200yds which alhumdallah is approx the width of the river at HW. Note I say approx! |
Oh pooh!! Thanks Claire and Lucy! I only said to GGGG last week that I mustn't forget my Salcombe entry and then I had Phil on the phone on Saturday...... My desk is groaning under the weight of work but looks like I need to get my life sorted for the important things in it!! |
So, bought some new flip flops, booked the accomadation but I'm sure I'm missing a couple of things... |
Looks like Liam is going to be busy, |
So keen was he that the Sun God sent in two entries.............................. obviously a Kevin moment! |
This is going to be interesting to work out..... |
and now its 90 and counting.................................... |
What no Andrew Mills? Come on Doc, get your entry in!! |
