Fundraising evening

[tcm]

Para has organised this to take place this very evening, in a well-known london pub. He's invited chris_e along. As far as i can tell para's just gonna rob him of any remaining kit poor chris_e has still got which won't be much since last time, when jimi ran this same ruse, pretended he was gonna sail to Ireland and won loads of charts offim...

 

[jimi]

Yikes whit time will you be there, I can make 17:30

 

[tcm]

good idea, asap i'm there from 5 or so, get a table then and we can pin down chris_e and see if he has any spare change as well

 

[ChrisE]

I can confirm that I had to buy a round and was forced to wear protective headgear whilst talking to half of the crew, jimi may provide snaps.

Incidently, if you lot die of starvation 'cos you didn't catch fish can one of your relatives please return the tackle that I've bought for para?

 

[tcm]

I thought er the fish eat the hooks don't they? Or they may as well - we've got twohooks and catching more than two fish is pretty unlikely with me on board.

 

[longjohnsadler]

Was anything aksherly useful for the trip discussed or did you all just get pished?
I think Stingo and I ought to be told.

 

[tcm]

Ooh that's a bit harsh.

Para got some decent gear for fishing from Chris_E. Two lures and massive thick line. I liked the bit where chrisE sed he had been fishing for years. Para said that so had he! So ChrisE said ok I mean fishing for AND CATCHING fish for years. heehee

Erm, ok, I think that's it interms of useful info. I am also gonna bring a gaff hook thing for hauling up realy massive fish.

Para and i did establish that

a) Para's swmbo can ring him up on the sat phone but it will costim.

b) I don't much care we end up in Europe. So falmouth is not a definite must.

 

[longjohnsadler]

'Parantly you can get bluefish and tuna upto 20 lbs. Can we stick them in the deep freeze?

 

[tcm]

if there's enough power, yes. How many 20lb fish dya need for Para's pie?

 

[longjohnsadler]

Er 6 or 7 should do it.

Don't forget you can't get emotional and run round the deck holding aloft a couple of burning flares if we end up in some godforsaken Iberian port instead of Falmouth.

 

[tcm]

Fair point. Best keep your voice down calling places like La Coruna near Santiago di Compostella "godforsaken" but I know what you mean.

 

[longjohnsadler]

Fair point too. Went into the cathedral at Santiago di C couple of years ago during a service and there was a nun singing the - aria or whatever it is. Most amazing voice.
