Nothing beats winter sailing - does it?

Suggest you also prepare a list - in case they figure you to be the "soft touch"/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

A word of advice - put on as many layers of clothing as you can get away with.

Sailing was good last WE, but COLD.

N°1 Child discovered that you can make movies with our digital camera - who knew? Not me - the manual's for whimps.

Anyway, here's her directing debut.

I have to admit that I was tempted to ask if anyone had room for a little me so I could get out again , it wasn't overly warm at the helm of Jims boat but that film looks like it was BLOODY FREEZING , so maybe I'll wait for some warmer weather before I'll beg a few more hours off some kind person . Enjoy the trip all of you though

 

[sailorman]

[Sixpence]

Only one or two /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif funnily enough , most of them seem to prefer to use hankie power /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Following your PM Mrs G advised me that we still have some sheperd pies in the freezer. Would be ideal - I think I can manage to heat those without too much damage.

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

LOL....

OK.... i'll bring appropriate other nourishments and accompaniments instead...

Ahh, thats the point Dave, its an AWAYDAY on Guapa. Vitals and Rations are not on FC as the rats might have a nice time on em while its on chocks.
My other erstwhile trusties are filling in the gastronomic gaps to ensure I dont waste away on passage.
