Here she is, moored in the outer basin at Preston Marina

Welcome to the forum, Bladerunner.

Wow, what will all the moaners and doubters do now?

Express public thanks to Preston Marina for their help?

 

[Otter]

You mean it was Preston Marina that resolved this crisis???? Surely it was the determined pluck and true grit if a modern day sailing hero?

Sir! Do you have any idea of the level of grit, determination and moral stamina it takes to write a cheque?

You don't know how hard she had to work to get sponsorship for the pen.

Or indeed to blag a cheque from a bank ....... Now that would summin !!

^ You are a sad git....

 

[Otter]

Clyst you do have a habit of just taking it a bit too far. The banter between the Ellie huggers and those who are sceptical about whether she's a modern day Claire Francis is fun and harmless; but then you feel the need to be boorish and ungentlemanly. To be honest old chap it is a bit sad. No offence like, as I believe teenagers say.

And you sir need to hone your literary skills

Good morning Mr Kipper , ".is fun and harmless " have you told the so called "huggers " that ?
you may consider that I may take things a bit too far but at least I don't take thing to a personal level and question her sexuality .

continuing on from the above .... I fail to see that a quip about blagging a cheque is a step too far when we are talking about a self claimed expert in the art . Loosen up chaps it's a sunny day today so get sailing as indeed I am .

 

[causeway]

Ah sure it's only a bit of craic.

 

[clyst]

Ah sure it's only a bit of craic.

Absolutely ,a voice of reason at last .
