Who is this guy? apart from Damo after a night on the Doom Bar. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[damo]

I guess it's that John Cabot bloke, after a night on the cider, sitting outside the Arnolfini in Bristol Harbour

 

[graham]

I should think he was one of the prettier ones on Sunday morning ? /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

 

[damo]

Are you implying that the Barry lot were "tired and emotional" in Bristol at the weekend /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[tonybarebones]

Ok Damo... far too easy that one... heres one you won't get so quickly... what would you be doing on a vessel if you were weeding? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

 

[damo]

Oi - it's my go /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

 

[Gwylan]

We're waiting!

 

[Csail]

Well if it were on my boat it would be making vinyl signs (ask Sally about weeding)

 

[tonybarebones]

Come on then Damo... lets be having you... /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

 

[Csail]

Mr Barebones i'm still right!

 

[damo]

That's weird - I did post a question but it obviously never appeared /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

OK then, where's this?

 

[graham]

Could be Birnbeck Island? I did a post yesterday that didnt appear.

 

[damo]

That's correct - over to you....

 

[graham]

You must have a bloody good camera(or you went across in the dinghy /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif) Have added your Banjo Pics to my blog cheers .Anyone know if you can add video clips to a google blog?

Have to wait for the next Q ,cant think of one just now.

Didnt realize Birnbeck was so far gone. I vaguely remembered some plan to redevelope it?wonder if that plan is on hold now?

Last time I moored in Knightstone all of that bit was in final stages of a redevelopment.I imagine the cost of the pier/bridge whatever they call it would discourage any investment on Birnbeck.Should I win the lottery I would rebuild the Island to live on then dismantle the bridge. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Wider view iof B irnbeck Island

 

[damo]

We were anchored very close behind the island. Camera is a little Olympus (FE-310, 8Mgb, on offer in Tescos at Penarth in the summer /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif )

Stange thing, when the main peir burns down it makes the national news and all the papers. Where some developer allows a nice little peir to fall into the sea, from years of neglect, nothing is said!

Next Question What is absent in this picture?

 

[damo]

Could it be Pero's Bridge?

or could it be csails flag? /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

 

[Csail]

/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

 

[graham]

Correct answer was Csails boat. The flag is there. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Peros bridge was the one i had in mind.We used to go right to the top of St Augustines reach in Bristol.Bit rowdy on times there so later started to moor at Baltic Wharf then walk around.
