Today on the Lake

Ferry skipper: "Get out the way! We're racing!"

Perspective is a fine aid to confusing the gullible.

Doesn't the silly rag head know that the collision rules don't apply on inland Meres? All other craft are to give way to commercial craft - Local Byelaw methinks. Unless you know different? /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

And the red handle under the thwart is the ejector seat.

Swansong....

And the focal length was...?

You've heard of lee-bowing, of course. Now let me show you how to weather-bow.

 

[Danny Jo]

"Ready about!"

"No, hang on, for ****'s sake, I'm not ready - I've just poured the tea."

 

[Dipper]

Captain "This is going to get messy. Will all passengers please look the other way".

640th @f6.3, 116mm on a 80-200 zoom. (That would make it equivalent to 174mm in 35mm speak) So not over-long. It did pass very close down the other side of the ferry. The ferry had altered course to give him room - but - had turned port so as to go across his bow, rather than starboard to go under his stern.
They're like that. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

When I worked on the Pride of Bilbao........

 

[LymingtonPugwash]

Wayfarer: "WATER!!! Don't you motor boatie chaps know that motor is supposed to give way to sail?"

 

[Allan]

"It's your turn to look under the jib", "No, I looked last time", "No, I looked last time, it's your turn!"

Dont hit that. It belongs to the Queen.

 

[Thistle]

I wonder why no-one else is out on a lovely day like this?

 

[BenchHead]

Wayfarer crew "I wonder when that girl in the boat astern of us is going to put her bikini top back on?"

 

[Lakesailor]

I just looked at the pic again and that is a pretty old Wayfarer.

"Age before beauty"


Ok, the Swan wins on both counts

 

[Woodlouse]

Thats funny, somethings taken our wind...
