Round Angelsey Record

[TSB240]

Well I was honoured to meet a fellow forumite and the current record holder last wekend.

1 hour 35mins and 10secs to do 68 nautical miles

Dave I hold my hand out to you in respect...

Now that puts my pootling through the swellies at 5 knots into perspective....

I am going to video it and replay it at 9* fast forward to try to imagine what its like....

I am amazed no southern softies have attempted to break your 7 year old record.

to meet a fellow forumite

Nice to meet you and Bev too although being in the company of so many of our sailing brethren and a parrot who gives away secrets was tremendously overwhelming for me and my boy.

I think Kwacks has frightened anyone off from attempting the record with his tales of whirlpools, fierce currents, dragons, mermaids, moving rocks and other such bollix. His tale of Plas Newydd always tickles me. He says the Earl of Uxbridge was given the estate as reward for losing his leg at Waterloo. Kwacks says he would have been given all of Ynys Mon if he had lost an arm and a leg. One day I will tell him it was Thomas Picton who lost his leg.

I once asked him what a Menai mermaid looked like. He said ' a beautiful face and the body of a fish.'

'Not like the Menai girls then' I said. 'They're the exact opposite'.

He's fond of telling his students that Dick Dock at Caernarvan marina requires £1.87 for using the pontoons for mooring practice. He then tells them to take him to the change buoy.

Last of the summer wine has got nothing on this lot, I can tell you.

More Likely he said take them to the Black Boy!

Even the universal translator on Star Ship Enterprise couldnt deal with Kwackerish.....
