ps Forgive the posting in the mobo forum as well - finger trouble!
 
I'd say Bristol channel, maybe west of Clevedon or outside Portishead marina. The far boat visited us at CYC last year and I've seen it in the Cumberland basin.

If someone puts the right answer in both forums, do they get 2 prizes? /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Allan, I've called Downing Street and they've never heard of you, so I've drunk the scotch myself - hope that's alright!

Well it's not that difficult as I broke a fitting on my main sheet last year and nearly ended up on the mud while fixing it! Not something you forget in a hurry! Also I've often thought of using one of the bouys to avoid lining the pockets of the rip off marina owners!

I'm ashamed that i lived in Portishead for about 40 years, and didn't recognise it. Mind you, my sailing was off Sugar Loaf Beach in Mirrors, Miracles & a Laser so I didn't venture up as far as the Marina.

I drove round the Marina area the other day, it hasn't half changed!
 
First pic actually looks like a tempting place to head for , but I'm not too keen on the others , is it really as bleak as it looks or is that a bad impression of the place ?
 
Thirty years since I stopped there, but looks a bit like The Hole, just outside Portishead Dock. Is the Royal Hotel still round the corner?
 
Picture of the boat in the background taken last year in Cardiff Bay. It is surprisingly fast.
