That's me in Utopia, thanks Andy!

 

[Habebty]

Why not upload the photos to yourboatpix.co.uk a good boaty picture exchange site?

 

[AMCD300]

That's me in Utopia, thanks Andy!

Mark - no problem. She looks fabulous against the Spinnaker

I was totally envious having to sit there watching you sail by. No crewing opportunity for me that week unfortunately. Maybe next time

How funny.. I've just been giving out some printed photos I took of other boats last weekend.

Jubiland - She doesn't happen to be Jubilant by any chance does she?

Yep, that's Chrissie.

 

[Chrissie]

Yep that's me, Nice picture, what a relief, I thought for a moment you had a photo of me 'sunbathing'
Boat dog and I are languishing at anchor in the Salcombe estuary at the moment, heading west but waiting for calmer seas out there, pretty rough on my way from Dartmouth the other day. Tressa is a friend of mine, premier Gosport, I think he's a forum member too.

 

[Vanilla]

Oh yes please to seeing a pic of Zig-Zag......no doubt followed by lots of "helpful" advice from the esteemed forumites about her poor sailtrim, non observance of Colregs, naff fender placement, dirty hull and hungover crew !!

Vanilla.....

PS Thank you Pinnacle for alerting me to this thread, though I might take the thanks back if the picture hasn't been skillfully photoshopped to improve my mug shot!

The only bit I think we will recognise is the "hungover crew"!

 

[BlueSkyNick]

That's me in Utopia, thanks Andy!

ah, a penny has just dropped with a big clang !!

 

[BlueSkyNick]

.

We already know where to find some of those - especially after your recent visit to Studland

I think the bidding is still open for that one, if you're quick...

Zig-Zag

Glad to obligue.

Jubilant

Jubiland - She doesn't happen to be Jubilant by any chance does she?

Actually, she does! My spelling mistake I'm afraid.

I hope she's yours

 

[Martin_J]

That's us!

Complete with red and black pirate flags, ybw burgee (large version on port spreaders) and SailOnline flag...

BLIMEY!!!

Zig-zag is very well reefed down in that picture, must have been really rough?
