[tome]

Wow, that's what I call a happy family. Will make it my 2006 ambition to better!

 

[Sheff]

Lovely picture......... wish I'd had the boat when my kids were that age.
Taken in the Pyefleet?

 

[Moodyjim]

I have to promise mine not to take them.

 

[BlackJacksGaff]

It can't come soon enough.........

 

[beancounter]

Please stop it, guys...

...you're depessing me.

Piles of work, piles of boat bills, dull grey weather....summer seems such a long way off.

Want to go sailing! /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Ah well, back to work (sigh)

 

[davidfox]

Is that off stone point?

 

[Cobra]

Looks as though that was taken heading towards the Twizzle??

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Yes,

Its Stone Point, just at the start of the Twizzle, looking back out to sea. If you look carefully in the background on the LHS, you can just see the old WWII barges that are beached opposite the East Coast sails channel marker...

Its without any doubt our favourite anchorage.....

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Here's a thought.....

Just before Chrsitmas 2006, as the weather has turned, and our thoughts turn to antifouling, maintenance and the long wait until the spring, lets have a best moments of 2006 in pictures thread..... with perhaps a 4 week window for people to post their favourite photo showing the 'spirit of UK sailing' and then have a forum vote for Skuttlebutt picture of the year....

It'd be just the thing to cheer us through the long winter...

Sure we could get Keith to set up a forum temporarily for us.....

[/ QUOTE ]Makes my heart sing Tom..... I can't think of any better gift to bequeath my kids than a love of sailing..... although with consideration, perhaps also the same gift my parents bequeathed me..... memories of a very happy childhood afloat....

 

[BlackJacksGaff]

NAS,

I totally agree.

As does my lad !
