    I thought I'd wait until pay-day before securing a place with the Steam
    Racket for next years 100th Anniversary TT.

    Hmm.

    They appear to have no sailings available, [1] advanced bookings have
    already, apparently, filled the boats, although they are supposed to be
    looking at increasing the volume of sailings to cope with the extra
    demand.

    Ho hum. Looks like the fingers will once again be going mad on the
    phone after 28th February 2007 then.

    [1] To/from Liverpool. WTF would I want to ride up to bloody Heysham
    when I've got the facility on my doorstep?

    The boat is full at Heysham, too. Don't you be taking your bloody mood
    out on me, young man.

    Anyway, I bet you I can get the sailing I want to/from Liverpool before
    then. ?50 do?

    I booked for four of us a couple of weeks ago. Earliest I could get out
    was Wednesday of practice week (Heysham) and back to Livrpool on the
    Monday after the races.

    Homestay etc. is also filling up rapidly but a mate has got us places
    near Ballaugh.

    They don't do Liverpool - Dublin any more. Haven't done so at all this
    year, and have no plans to do so in the future, either. They weren't
    making enough money, see.

    CBR600FW. Odd that, I appear to own it already ;o) It's the only bike
    I've had for the last *cough* years that hasn't been over there.

    I *might* go over for the MGP, but there are a lot of Scotland trips
    for, well, trips for one, and Weddings and Christenings and things that
    are sort of taking up the time and money. Especially as they are all
    rather far north Scootland.

    No worries _ I'm going to call them in the morning and book <whatever>
    they have available. Once people have to pay up, come mid-May you can
    take up the available places anyway. My best bookings have always been
    done that way.
    I'll be camping at Glen Lough again.

    No idea why I typed May, when it's flipping March the unpaid bookings
    are available.

    And, for anyone that is thinking of booking for next year while over on
    the Island - they may take your money, but the bookings just are not
    there now.

    A friend tried to book today, and the only sailings available on
    anything resembling the TT period were to and from Belfast..here's
    hoping the Steam Racket do actually put on extra sailings, as mentioned.
