A couple of piccies from the awful Solent and surrounds

The not-so-awful Solent if you live 5 minutes away.....

Not entirely. In the other thread Chris says he's "3 miles, 5 mins in car to YC, 15 mins in dinghy to mooring" - that sounds like a pretty damned good trade off when I look at 95 miles and a two and a quarter hour drive (and that's the out-of-season time; you know what the A84 and A85 are like during the holidays) - going sailing for a day is not really an option imho.

Be even more for you! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Nice wriggle and almost convincing but we both know you wouldn't berth in the Solent if they paid you. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I am jealous of the travel time though - 2.5 to 3 hours for me depending on traffic.

Evil is only seen by those that think it.....

But what the heck we're only talking about sailing, now if we were talking fishing I might get upset

Taken on the way to the pub, from our hideous, overcrowded Solent mooring.

It was about 9.00 pm so everyone was well stuck into their G&Ts /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

in the Lakes.

Ones like this:

have been Photoshopped to make it look much better than it is.

That's one heavy rain storm, I have been in a few & they do not generally show up much in photos.
