Lord High Commander of Upper Broughton and Gunthor
Okay,, ive done a couple of weeks in the Solent, and I have to say, I was distinctly Unimpressed.
I mean, its crowded,, their seems to be a unusually high number of numpties, (Stinkies and Raggies BTW) the people are Stressed, its VICOUSLY expensive, Forget getting a table in Cowes if you happen to have a biker mate along,
Theirs a great stinking big chimney poring noxious fumes out over head, your likely to either get run down by some humungous ship, or run aground on a shallow bit, the supposed pretty bit at Newtown is PACKED out, and a mooring their is like a Gzillion pounds / meter.
Every second boat is either full of Bankers on a jolly or students who are likely to behave in a manner totally unpredictable, Their are loads of fishermen who yell at you for getting to close, you cant go more than about 5 miles in a straight line, You dont get proper waves (Solent Chop my Ar***) ..... need I say more?
So,, other than the fact its convenient, Wats the big deal??? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
