I will do my best to make sure that everybody stays completely sober so that nobody feels that they have to prove that they can't sing.

I will do my best to spoil that, but I need to drill a 3/8 hole through the shaft and coupling flange, then insert a steel swissroll..... or so I'm told, first.
If the weather is kind, we may get out on Sat to lower the tone.
If not, we wish you all the very best of conviviality.
Avast behind.

I'm that giddy I bet I can't sleep tonight!

I don't need to prove I can't sing, I know it and don't feel the need to prove it. I do however have no qualms about showing I can't keep awake after a few drinks, ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz

Hi S*Butters

SWMBO and I are looking for berths for the Scuttlebutt Cruise.

We were all fixed up but our chosen craft is suffering mechanical maladies.

Some enquiries are already underway by PM.

Our usual berths are on a 1973 27' Albin Vega, so we're not spoilt by the latest in luxury.

Character references can be obtained from Aquaplane!

I'm going to be offline till midnight Thurs.

TIA

Ash

Ash, My offer of sleeping and eating quarters only, still stands as the cockpit on HB is only big enough for 3, and 2 while in the process of tacking in other words its tiny.
So if anyone has a bigger cockpit and can take you while sailing and one of my crew for sleeping you are welcome to the forward cabin, bring your own sleeping bags/pillows etc, but dont worry about food there is lots to go around.

PS I am hoping to be at Cumbrae pontoon for 14-1500 at the latest tomorrow.
Have pm'd you.

Well here is a snippet again ( and, oh yes, we have much more of this) which should show what to avoid.

I think you were just playing up for your English visitors. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Glad I did not let anyone down with the easterly wind which I promised. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Thanks everyone for your warm welcome and for allowing us to be in the winning team for the quiz and Ken and Irene for carrying us.

What a great weekend.

My thanks to everyone involved for their excellent company throughout the weekend.

My particular thanks to the following peeps.

To Spyro and Pete_Cooper for organising us all.

To Clyde_Wanderer for the breakfast facilities on Sat morning.

To tombeardier and crew for the berths on Sat night and for having the courage to allow me to helm Negresco through the Kyles.

To Wight_Dawn and crew for the cruise from Tarbet back to Largs and for the evening meal / run to my car etc.

I'll have a look through my photos and if they're any good, I'll create a PB album and post a link.

Ash and crew.
