LJS Wipes Mucky Farters Bottom And He\'s Got Crabs!

Plan A started with a trip to Brittany , meeting up with Long John some place on the way. But this plan was put asunder by LJ’s son well before the start.
Plan B nearly flopped when Tutts did a full blown mutiny on the first day, but then agreed to postpone it till after the hols!!
Things eventually settled down, So off we sets for Salcolmbe, just around the corner. Mucky Farter resplendent with her new green painted oil drum for the extra fuel.
On entering Salcolmbe what do we see but. This blue boat with a crane thingy on the back just like the fishy boats have. Hm! I thing, bet that’s Blue Fisher, Long Johns boat, and sure enough there he was. He’d been diving and got 17 dozen bloody scallops and a crab!! Plan C was to barbecue them on the beach but the sign on the beach and the fact that it was now getting rather late and cold, put paid to that. We went through plans D and E before finally agreeing to eat aboard Mucky Farter on the understanding that LJ’s recipe for the scallops was kept to the letter. This involved rapping them in bacon and grilling. In the mean time its decided that Colin the crab is coming to dinner also. Colin looked cold so we sat him in a pan full of water and placed him on the cooker where he could see what’s going on. So after murdering Colin, the scallops and not forgetting the unfortunate pig. We had a fine meal. Enjoyed so much that we all hung around in Salcolmbe for a few days devouring scallops in every way we could think of. John kindly rubbing Mucky Farters props and bottom!!
I’m sure she went a little faster after, although whether it was because of the clean bottom or just to get as far away from LJ’s groping hands round her nether regions, is open to question!!
So anyway LJ’s off to Plymouth and we’ve just come from there so its decision time.
So off we goes for Alderney, the chip shop and then the Sea Vue Hotel cos the Diver is shut cos granny is not so well. Tutts announces that she’ stopping in the hotel for the night and I could understand why. The wind was from one direction and the swell from another. Mucky Farter was lapping it up and doing the twist in time to the waves.
Then down to Dellette where we met up with Dom, his SWMBO and small person also introduced to the legendary “SOLTRON” Mucky Farter soon got a dose after gassing Dom on the pontoon!
Then off to Sark where it was thick with fog, then Herm and tucked right into the little harbour, before the appointed time for meeting with the tanker in Port Samson.
St Peters Port, Torquay and then back to Plymouth in a howling gale. Luckily from the NW. But the 20 mile fetch to Start Point still made for a hell of a sea. Can always tell when it’s been a bit rough cos have to get out the Captain Tullys and go round the leaks round the windows the day after!!

So whats been going on. Theres over a thousand un read posts. Whats the high lights??

I've been house hunting in Acky. Saw a nice two up two down for £16.5k. Decided against it and went for a curry at the Mitali instead (very nice it was to and no after effects).

Chris the crab

Well as the poor critter was murdered on your boat you could at least get his name right!! Don't recall you coming to his rescue.

Next time I'll go for Lenny the lobster, had one last night and there's still his brother Larry in the fridge along with Douglas the dover sole. Much more productive on the sea bed rather than scrubbing some poxy old props that have seen much better days. About time you ordered some new ones!!!

And you also forgot to mention your stay at Dittisham, presumably you were hob nobbing with one of the Dimbleby's, acccoirding to the weekend press he has 2 boats on the Dart.

And don't take the piss out of my davit scallop lifting arm, you try and haul dozens of scallops out of the oggin.

Now the good weather seems to be here I'm now tied up with work for the next week or so, actually up your way in Doncaster tomorrow. Or looking at the time that should be today.

Wotcha Haydn! Welcome back! I was wondering when Tutts would finally mutiny! OK, How come the crab got named after me, trying to tell me something? Did you go to the "fairy boat inn" in Ditsum? renamed after finding out the predeliction of the owners!! If you know what |I mean, you would do if you went there, great little pub, the foods good aswell, or it was. Next time tell them you know me! You'll get a free pint for sure. I'm in Ibiza, still, but when I get off the rig, tomorrow, I'll ber back and heading over to Mallorca, Palma, to see TCM and Stewart. Not much else to report, anchor winch finally repaired, dragged anchor twice, all over St. Antonio bay, but didn't hit anything, in 41 knot winds!! I'll send you a PM, speak later.
Colin.

Yep. Went to Fairy Boat pub. Quiz night and jam packed full. Think the Fairy was sat in the corner shouting out the questions. Place must be going down hill though. They want to serve ginger beer with the whiskey!!

Used to love sunday lunch time up there, take the dinghy up from Noss, and then spend about four hours in the pub, fall out and fall into dinghy, drift down river, wake up just opposite the town, into the DA for another couple and zoom back up to Noss, just in time to get a bollocking from Simon the harbour master for speeding! Oh! what fun!
