As the Welsh havent managed full succession the Mob moved as far west as they could and held their own celebration.

No fingers were lost in the making of this production.

Good times - looks like you all had a crack[l]ing weekend and a great turnout!

Looks like everyone was wrapped up warm in their winter clothing for our great British summer.......................

The weather turned out better than forecast or expected so we cant complain.

That looks like great fun. Did you carry that pig in the tender?

Someone has a very tolerant wife for bringing a dead pig onboard!

Haven't you got a trailer to polish?

Along with everything else. Cant stress how important having a good tender is. @Mr Googler dont know what you are going to do without one. I suppose you'll just tow your boat to the beach on it it's trailer?

We know a chap with a Mercury. Zero to 5000 revs in under 2 seconds. Quicker that a call to the RNLI cap in hand.

Not as quick as your bites! ?

Where were you? Too proud to come by car?

Fixing skirting boards Saturday and the North Pennines yesterday.
In our heads we didn't want to plan and then the boat not be fixed, so we took the opportunity to catch up with some stuff.

A weekend off from the A55 is always a bonus!

 

[BruceK]

Is she fixed now though. Sea trials went OK? Cause diagnosed rather than just fixed? It can be a bit unnerving first time out after a breakdown

Yes. Fixed and 'sea trials' [fwd/astern in the marina 100 times and a run up and down the straits] proved correct - partially watched on webcam, not a pleasurable experience.

Have been told [over the phone] the fault, but am waiting on the photos [and bill!]. Long and short of it, the connection in the leg where the cable attaches snapped, reason why - don't know. The engineer said he hadn't seen or heard of it before. Everything else was ok.

Yes, there will be a bit of anxiety! But first trip out we wont go far and ensure we are content ourselves.
