Good company

[Major Catastrophe]

It is fair to say that while you soft southerners have enjoyed a good summer, in North Wales it says been wet and windy for six weeks and even during the sunny May and June, there was always a cold wind blowing.

Yesterday evening news spread through the marina that Little Ship was due in, and in true tradition, the N Wales lot gathered to score and criticise their boat handling skills. For once the sun shown and it was almost warm.

LS was manned by a distinguished and skilled crew and in this photo, from left to right is: Some man Tom was talking to, James from Providence, Drew and Connie from the Isle of Man, Babs - Tom's SWMBO, Phil and Liz - Philz, and finally, Mal Fogg from Sultans Kapitein. Kawasaki was also there and I am not sure why he isn't in the picture, but as other pictures were taken, I expect they will get posted.

It was great to see Drew and Connie again, and safe journey home today on the new service from RAF Valley to Ronaldsway.

Drew told me that the plane they flew in on was either a Dornier or a Heinkel, but was unable to tell me if it flew with a full bomb load or not.

Did you manage to breach the drinks cabinet

No, it was well guarded, but I was tricked into inviting some of them back to my gaff next week and I even promised some nibbles.

 

[Kilter]

Looks as though they saw you coming!

Mmm...I wondered what they modeled this on.....

Is it made from wood?

 

[Nauti Fox]

No, I am though.

 

[Major Catastrophe]

No, I am though.

Yes, I know.

Sorry for Fred Drift.

Coo, you should have seen the amount of oil we put on the track at Cadwell Park last weekend, I think the marshals were drafted in to help out in the BP spill due to the training we gave them.

PS I did find a wooden one but I think it looks too modern.

That looks just like Little Ship.

We were going to go to the party. But Kwackers said he'd change MF's filters in Conarfon. I cant', me backs knackered. Anyway, he never turned up, except to take my crew away to the party.

THAT HEINKEL or was it a dornier.

HI Major

We got back even faster this time. 15 minutes fromn takeoff to landing here on the Beautiful Isle. The plane was a Spanish something or other. The Pilot was a real Don Juan, tight blonde curls over the collar, the 2i/c told us that ''ze flight time she will be 2 hours, and ze weather it will be raining, cold and cloudy, Of couse he was tupical Don something Quixote (sp) maybe or perhaps he was from Barcelona. though he had a crooked smile but straight teeth ....
So thanks again to one and all. There will be a proper post of the weekend doings as soon as I can get it all together

cheers for now

2 hours. Were they expecting to take siesta on the way back or a diversion to bomb Liverpool docks.

Even Little Ship doesn't take that long to cross the ditch.

Oh yes she does ! she takes nearly that long to get out of the dock?
