Great Quiz, which is more than I can say for my attempts to answer, scoring 3 and a half.

Well. That's very nice to hear.

Funny thing when you set the questions, the answers are really easy.

I think that I made about half too hard. Next time will try to do better.

Happy to have another go but if anyone else fancies having a try please do.

It's very difficult. We once set a quiz for our then sailing club. Although the winning tables got around 70% or more, there were many complaints that it was too hard.

We did a Zoom quiz at our current club last night. It was my first effort at Zoom and it was great fun. To me, the interesting questions are not the easy ones but the hard ones, especially if it means learning something.

 

[Cantata]

That was a good bit of fun, thanks. As for not getting Harty Ferry!!! Doh!! My home waters!!!

 

[ChattingLil]

Great little quiz. Thank you

I'm not usually a big fan of quizzes, but, particularly at the moment, they seem very popular with certain family members.

I did, however, enjoy those little brain teasers: boaty, challenging and with some humour.

Cheers!!

 

[tillergirl]

I think it is good as well. I didn't have a got at it because my brain was fully occupied trying to learn two bits of software. No spare memory available.

A few more quick ones, I hope - beware, not all on-shore places this time.

Season ‘laid off’ so may not be passing this for a while. (4, 6)

One follows a converted Victorian Cardinal - but it may mean a place that had many (11)

Worried wife extols a good lookout when passing here. (10)

The top ‘Beak’ perhaps? (5, 4)

Popularly, perhaps, the place to take one step up from the snuggest garment? (2, 5)

Singled by fate, confused, he goes aground here. (6, 5)

 

[johnalison]

Well, I got one. I think I need to sleep on the rest. It must be the Burgundy.

Thanks: I’m happy if anybody tries - and hope I’ve not broken clue ‘rules’ too egregiously, or made a howler and wasted somebody’s time.

 

[Cantata]

You're good at this! I think you should do the Christmas Quiz this year. It fell by the wayside last Christmas.

 

[Pye_End]

Got 3 and 6. Like the clues!
