Hi Damo and Jobs a good un...

Re:Wake

An Irish Wake would cost you several bottles of Whyskey and a few crates of beer. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif A boat wake would probably need about 10 gallons of red / white per hour. Fuel that is, not wine.(or maybe both /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif)

 

[damo]

It was a great day out. Wind was generally 15kn, but it got to 30kn off Brean Down, and there was quite a lot of debris on that side of the Channel.

Jobsy introduced me to a handy anchorage tucked behind Birnbeck Island, where we had sarnies and salad al fresco, out of the stiff breeze.

I hope Cafnod enjoyed his sail with us, and his hand is OK after being stepped on /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Other local reprobates out enjoying the conditions...

Great pics, I'm very jealous - it was a great day and I spent it in the office in the middle of Bristol /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

Powerful, them little mariners, aren't they?

I reckon a wake like that is like a carpet. £10 a metre.

 

[graham]

Pretty fast for a 10 hp/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Taken when we went down to watchet. Graham takes his fishing seriously.

 

[damo]

So that's why he got a bigger boat /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

BTW - here's a wherezit specially for Alcyone /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

 

[Alcyone]

It's Flatholme, with a submarine stuck on a sandbank in front of it.

If I win, I'd like to work with children and animals.

[damo]

Sigh /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

(I sent up a gentle lob, and he slashed wildly at it and missed /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif )

 

[Jobs_a_ good_ un]

Thats the one that begins with S isnt it /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

 

[damo]

Yeah - looks like the children and animals are going to be safe after all

 

[Alcyone]

Yep, actually been round it three times this year. Which, considering we didn't buy our first Yacht until June, I'm quite chuffed about. Hope I can get out there again soon, once me engine is sorted.

 

[Allan]

How is the engine job going? I put Cobby girl on the pontton for Wednesday night and saw Ishtar was still there. She looked high at the stern, so I assume the engine is out.

[Alcyone]

Hi Allan. Yes. the engine is out, and I'm waiting to find out what parts are needed. In the meantime I found a load of rust in the fuel tank, so bought a new plastic one. Of course, none of the fittings are correct, so I'm having to make all those fit.......

It's frustrating, but I'll feel a lot happier when it's done. I'm not sure why they haven't moved us to our permanent pontoon position yet. I may pop down this afternoon and have a chat.

 

[Allan]

They did say they were going to move it soon. I put in my form to order a pontoon on Wednesday, do you know how long it takes?
