French Run overnight crossing

We're off to Portsmouth tonight for the 2300 sailing. Anyone want to meet
up for a pre-embarkation supper?

 

We'd thought about that, but couldn't think of anywhere we could leave
a bike outside fully loaded. We're setting off at noon, but will
probably keep east to avoid the rain.

 

We were thinking of someplace like Port Solent -

The VFR will have everything in hard luggage, and it's only a few clothes
and toiletries anyway.

 

I think we'll stick to Plan A - see you at the dock.

 

Okay. See you at the Lotus around seven.

 

Ho ho.

 

Yeah.

 

The Lotus? Where's that?

 

Millwall Inner Dock. E14.

Side of the road with its bonnet up, probably.

One which is marked, in fact.

 

That shitty floating chinese restaurant?

 

What time do you reckon to be there? We'll probably arrive between 7 and 8.
