Lime house is full of green sludge & canal boats, but if you want a drink or a meal try Gordon ramsay's resturant -- called the Narrow --or for a drink try the Grapes
If you want a long walk then The Prospect of Whitby used to be OK, have not been there for a while
If you are a yuppy take a 10 min walk along the river to Canary Wharf & go to one of the Yuppy pubs- not my scene though- 1 pint & a large G& T £14-00 ( not sure what that is in euros - The way things are going -- a barrowfull unfortunately)

Samuel,
yes canal boats but also yachts, even in the summer did not see to much of the green sludge, the GR resturant i have to admit is good and reasonable priced, but on seeing what looked liked frozen chips and veg on the door step at about 6 am, it seems that they also follow the other resturants.
The bar and resturant at the CA is good, and also the company in the bar, you never know who will turn up, is always great. Another good reason to be a memebr of the CA together with the good price for B & B in London.

I have often wondered about joining the CA but last time I asked I seem to recall about £ 80-00 PA
However, as I now live too far away from their HQ the benefits are largely lost.
Still I believe there is a mine of information if you want to travel far -- The ARC perhaps !!!

Cheers Holby,
What is a MyHanse Burgee? And how do I get one? The malt cruise looks good but I have 2 children who will be with me all summer and although my wife and I would enjoy it the children may not appreciate the drinking, etc. Anyway I'll look out for you over the summer, what model do you sail? Jon. Edited by Jesterjon - 26 November 2011 at 18:21 |

Jon,
A myhanse burgee is a burgee that has been designed as a collective of a number of members and depicts a design of the northern hemisphere on the obverse and the southern hemisphere on the reverse, to cover the whole world.
I know many young children are on the boats on the cruise, if you are interested i would speak to the organisers to see what they say?
I sail a baby Hanse a Hanse 301, and it would be great to have a look around yours once you have moved in, so to speak, as it is often very different to seeing a boat at a show and seeing how people fit in.
As for where to get a burgee go to www.theropeshack.com and select the store and scroll down and you will see it.
We are looking at arriving probably about a week before it starts so there my be time for a myhanse meet as i know there are a number of others up there.
All the very best and please dont forget to post some pictures when you get her.

Samuel,
I am also a fair distance away and, infact there are members all around the world, so seemingly distance does not seem to enter into the equation. I suppose it depends what you want out of the association, but for my mind it I get more back, in savings than the price of my membership, sadly some people dismiss the association without actually looking to what is on offer. Perhaps it is a case of "not seeing the wood for the trees" as they say.
Perhaps tho' it might be case of you not fitting in,
I myself use the facilities a number of times a year and enjoy my visits, and will certainly enjoy my visit therr next year when i visit the Olympics.

Welcome Jesterjon and what a very good idea Holby for a get-together on a nice new boat. I hope I will be able to be part of it as I hope to visit Scotland next year.
Haven't been to Limehouse for many years, but enjoyed West India Dock in Canary Wharf last Easter and it's local pub, The Gun overlooking the Thames. For me though, St Catherine's location cannot be beaten. Just a shame that the arrangements for getting inside there and bookings seem so chaotic at times, which is primarily why we went to West India Dock. Charles |

Holby,
Thanks, the Burgee will soon be ordered. Once I have the boat I will look at whether the cruise will fit into my summer plans. I look forward to seeing other Hanse Yachts as well. Jon. |

Hi all,
I have sailed with the ARC 2008 and we found it a life remembering experience. I had three friends with me and the wife of one of my friends said that for a whole year every picture he was on he was smiling big time. Beforehand i had no idea what to expect. Just too busy preparing. One peace of advice from my side: select your crew carefully. I selected them on the fact they were easy going and not just good sailors.Some crew arrived almost fighting with each other. We just had a great time with each other. One of my crew members made a great video of the crossing. I will post it on youtube soon. Greetz, Michiel |

Where did you go when you got there
sail back home or cruise the area
& you do not say what boat you had
it would be nice if you filled in the profile
