RIP
The disorganised rally has been postpond postumously
from the 6 July to the 26 of June. So all you who did'nt make it.
Hard luck!!
Nick. Of course you're invited and sorry you could'nt make it.
So down to the events.
Set off from Plymouth in the sunshine up to Dartmouth then same again to Weymouth and up to Yarmouth IOW.
All you lot not there cos it was the wrong week, but then again it was disorganised so we went last week!!
Trip back was alot more fun cos the sun went in and the wind got up, OH!! and the fog came down right in the middle of the fireing range at Lulworth.
Funny thing was the fog was like a wall just before Lulworth so runs down to the radar and sees this blob.
I go's right left backwards and folwards trying to shake the bloody thing off.
Only came to me the day after. It must have been the safety
boat trying to catch me!!
Set off from Weymouth in a 5 to 6 and looses one engine in the middle of Lyme Bay which is about 50 miles across. So we're trying to fix it whilst being vertical, upside down and back to front.
Gets that fixed and the other go's down five minutes latter.
That one would'nt play at fixing so its back on the coast guards again for a bit of reasurance and the harbour launch again for a tug to meet us at Dartmouth.
I'm getting to feel like Eric Abbot with all the tugs I'm having lately.
Takes two days to find the little olive on the diesel pipe thats been renched loose whilst going head over tit though Lyme Bay and the sea was still as rough as buggery too!
So it was round the corner to Plymouth but luckily it was'nt on the nose so we just bombed along on top of it.
Much more fun than the mamby pamby sunny calm days!!
Well nearly!!
