You can't let it finish there Haydn......Where did you end up?

 

[hlb]

Moron! You mean you want even more to go wrong on one trip!

It was a choice between this story and the trip up the West coast of Scotland. That was the one when we finaly made it.

But nothing went wrong that time. Well not much, or not enough for you lot to gloat over.

Anyway I'm not sure I'm much good at writting about the scenic and wonderfull stuff, disasters are far more my style!

Might get that one in a day or to. This Christmas thingy is boreing me to death.

Haydn, its probably time you changed your middle name from Jonah to something else or give up boating altogether as it does'nt seem to be for you.
Do you remember that book 'The Art of Coarse Sailing'? Have you ever thought about doing a motorboating version?

 

[lanason]

How long ago was this (or did I miss that bit) and have you learnt anything from the experiance ????

 

[hlb]

How long ago.Err! Not long enough. But about 7 may be 8 years ago.
What did I learn?

1 Wife's crap with outboards.
2 Volvo parts expencive.
3 Outdrives are crap.
4 Dont ask Holly Head Coast Guards for help, they havent got a clue.
5 Ireland is wonderfull.
6 Dont think because you,ve got two engines, they cant both break at once.

Cant think I learned anything else. We got there. Ok had a few problems and then a few more. But sorted them. We really enjoyed Strangford and made loads of friends. Even went back to vist them a few years ago.
Got back to Holly Head, bang on course as it turned out.
Left the boat there for a week or two cos the weather had got bad. Then hopped it round the corner to Pwelheli.
Must admit it was quite good fun, mending the boat with a crazy Irish pair. Wife got a bit cheesed off though.

Reading you story a film comes to mind - Captain Ron!

Enjoyed that very much, you seem to be very unlucky with boats, makes me feel so much better about my problems.
