Hi Roy. I am not ignoring you. The raggies are ignoring me. Dull bunch, but that's what comes from sitting under canvass all day long.

I'll chase them up. While we are at it where can I get two sets of 290 DP props from in a big hurry? I lifted Amanzi to give her a quick clean and inspection with a lick of Antifoul. Her bottom turned out to be clean.... the props weren't.

Three of the four props are badly damaged. Got no idea where it happenned other than I nicked the sand on the edge of the channel at 3knts. But these look like I hit something more like rock. Gutted. I'll take it to the forum see if I can two replacement sets before Friday

Jeepers Brucy Boy that aint no sand damage, thars hit summat hard like
Do you have a tame engineer, cos if not I do, for the drillin and fixin bits?
Peeps, I have been a bit absent from ere cos the NHS bits wot do the radiation for swmbo have conked out a couple of times, therefore we have had appointments changed and we are a bit behind schedule etc
Thing is the Cancer gig is under control ish. It's the other bits that are wrong with En that are a bigger worry! Sounds daft I know you would think cancer would be scary!
Yep Bruce you run up a tab for me if it all goes p tong!! Oh!, maybe get yer trim tabs sorted too, save on props M8!!
At least yer aint damaged yer outdrives, else you wouldn't have a leg to stand on
You probably hit the Chunk seastoke ditched off of his transom I reckon, it should be buoyed as a 'danger to navigation' I reckon he is too tight to go to Conwy Borough tip!:D
I will donate 2000 Drachmas I brought back from Greece a while back to the 'Pot' if that helps the fun box 'kitty' by the way
By the way of My large generosity and some 15 quid's worth of Nigerian promissionary Notes I garnered from a dark Gentleman off e bay recently, when He promised me (after I gave Him My Bank Details) last Tuesday. He did say I would receive a good deposit into my account as well, fair play
The only snag is, I am due for my bi annual haircut next week and that will be 12 quid, dam, this cash flow sh*te is a nuisance
I will be in touch Peeps:encouragement:
 
Reggie reporting in.......

Find planning more than 3 days ahead can be problematic.
Us WAFIs tend to decide on Wednesday or Thursday night before a weekend which part of the island to go to.

Next weekend is Moelfre lifeboat day but if any wind from north you won't find me there.
I would be at. Llanddwyn or Rhoscolyn or Pen y Parc. If it's from the south yes Moelfre, Traeth Bychan, or Traeth Y Ora are all good for beaches and barbies
Long way to Porth Wen from PD and it has no pub anywhere near for Kwakers round! Tends to be a long weekend round island venue or a Jumping off point for IOM or Scotland for us.

Oh cracking weekend last down to Porth Dinllaen. Three pints in Ty Coch few night caps and slept like a baby in the calm. Sailed all the way back 3 hours under rag power only. Somehow picked up a rope around prop which made for an eventfull docking and my first swim of the season with a knife in my teeth. Oooarr pirate style to clear the prop.

Will consult Xc on Wednesday to give you my predicted location.........

Work permitting...

Steve
 
I'm tempted to launch the tender from Camaes with a tent and duffel bag and wing it over. Not much of a fun box though, may need to hoist the Jolly Roger and storm Seas the Day.

Oh yes bring air gun incase scousers in rubber ducks are spotted

For gawd sake if the sea is calm and I come in my tender please dont shoot. I'm not a scouser, I have all my front teeth and have an antipodean accent quite capable of pronouncing chicken correctly. By all means fire away at any Menai pirate barnstorming the bay.
 
Roy will you be bringing a BBQ grid and some wood? These are things that I now will be unable to supply if I walk down or tender over.
 
Does he speak English? Is he a paid up to date member of the Menai Pirates Union? Will he nick my annodes?
 
Ok I have consulted XC and tides.

Coming north of Island for Saturday.

Probably in company of other Wafis from Caernarfon. Hope to be around to Moelfre for LB day getting there about 12.30pm.

We might move on to a quieter beach at Traeth Y Ora a bit further north by Dulus island for calmer night and BBQ.

Bruce could launch at Moelfre or Lligwy. Camp on beach at Dulus?
It is always a bit swelly in Moelfte some stage in the night be warned!
Live music at Moelfre and pubs will be overflowing, LB day attracts the lunatic fringe of the rubber ribbers,jet fleas and plastic fantastics all trying to out do the monster wakes including the LB.
This is usually accompanied by water pistol fights,balloon water bombs.

Might be fun to mix that in with a few flour bombs.
If you join in be prepared to get wet and messy.

Watch out for the rib with a full on water pump and fire hose.

Porth Wen makes it a very very early start back for us limited to 10hp and 5 knots and needing to be back at Menai Bridge for 11 am Sunday!
 
Dont forget you'll have a 4knt current boost on the way back.


Or cadge a tow behind Seas the Day. How much of a speed wobble would 18knt generate? Should be wild :encouragement:
 
So. Can't find metal will get a few throw away barbies but not knowing angle by the sea at all , what is tsb mean lb and are we bathing together
 
Well the props are repaired, but it turns out they are the wrong ones to begin with at C3. So I've ordered in some C4's now too. This is getting rediculously expensive :(
 
so guys and tsb what is the plan ,where do we meet any co ordinates or summit all you need is beer food throw away barbie n gun
