I'm more concerned about him making a grab for the half pint he bought me, which was supposedly safe and above his arm raising height, on the shelf behind me.
This photo proves his arm injury to be a sham.
But fair do's, it was enough to convince Lambada he needed to change Kwaka's filter. Credit where credit is due.
Oi, I was supposed to be pointing at my boat, not the bloody landing craft. The plaster was due to having a blister after trying to start the outboard.
[ QUOTE ] MajorC: Erm, I'm a bit embarrassed here, as having delivered Take 5 to the beach to pick up his tender and inflatable floor which was half way up the cliff, I went over to investigate the other tender, which was at least 200 metres off shore. But I thought it was attached to a big yellow buoy, but not only that, it was so filthy I didn't think it could possibly belong to any of the distinguished forumites gathered nearby.
I went back to Take 5 who, with the help of a dog walker, was trying to remove half a ton of water from his tender. He was struggling in the surf, but there was little I could do without getting flooded myself.
I looked back at the other tender and saw it was only twenty feet offshore and that someone else was making a bee line to it. I was closer so I opened the throttle and went for it. I just got hold of it before the surf swallowed it, but as I was trying to pull it free, I lost grip and a wave took it. The other rescuer - yes, it was he, Lambada Superman - rushed in jumped out of his boat, grabbed the other tender and managed to get both back offshore.
All this he did with no kill cord! As that had been lost earlier, along with his oars - me and Take 5 found one of them.

Major, that whole episode was one of the funniest / surreal things I have encountered in a long time. Thanks again for coming to the rescue (part 1).
Lambada - how about getting that fine craft over this side of the pond?

Went across in our last boat, stayed at Dunleery (can,t spell it, you lot are as bad as the sheep s@@@ers). Will come across as soon as we get the chance but it's hard to coincide time with weather.

I have been wondering why on gods earth the sleeve of that yellow t-shirt is now stained pink. It was from me trying to get the blackcurrant off my lips to avoid ridicule. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
