A mate was sea trialing a P35 on Friday out of Caernarfon , just hitting 20 knots at WOT when there was was loud ding noise , my mate pulls back on the throttles . The owner says don’t worry it will be either brucek ‘s fridge or prop , or Kawasakies front Tooth.
 
At least I didn't take the Swellies during a spring low and butter curl my props on Cheese rock. That must have dinged like a bicycle bell and given you a pleasant sensation through the seat of your pants. :p
 
Because you lot write in some sort of Welsh dialect or code, I am never sure what is going on. But if anyone goes on a sea-trial in a new boat they have a duty to tell us about it, not just tease us ?‍♂️??‍♂️
 
A nasty Welshman (not Bruce) won’t let me in to Wales. Don’t worry, nipped up to Preston today and went to Douglas Marine last week, only twenty minutes from home but access to the sea is awful. Once out there is nowhere to go either. If you ever want to go off grid, I recommend Douglas Marine on the tidal part of the river Douglas.

Ha! know it well
Bought an ex lifeboat from the Lock at Tarleton
Up the Douglas with dead sheep and all sorts banging off the bow!
12 hour trip to Menai Bridge
Whence tied on the Pier and half the Liverpool Arms came aboard and we drank till the sun came up
Later that day tried to go through the Swellies at the wrong time (was early days!) that took 3 hours to PD!
On arrival found two peeps still 'comatose' in the aft cabin!
Never seen tham before or since!
Thanks for remiding Me of an almost forgotten scenario!
 
Amazed you lot are still at large. Would most likely do a nice exhibit of extinct species in an English circus :p

would be also a nice feature if the forum could autotranslate to EN your gibberish occasionally ?
too hard for us bl00dy foreigners!
 
not quite,
as you can imagine here in Greece, you could not possibly say that, so we say "it's all Chinese to me" :)

cheers
