Winter boating....................

[Solitaire]

this post is really all Alistair's fault. I told him today that I was going over to Cowes with Jez Banks, he muttered something about my parentage and could I post some pictures of the jaunt. Now, I don't often have my camera with me ( /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif ) but as it was the wee Scotsman I thought I'd make an exception. So Alistair, these are just for you.

Alistair plese note - no pictures of me. Happy? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Does crossing the Solent actually count as boating though. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

What a hard life you both have! I hope the day hasn't tired you out.

Sparkes Marina to East Head counts as boating. (<0.5m).

Not too sure about sitting on the boat while it's in the car park though /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

That point could be debated all night. However a jolly jaunt over to the Anchor for a pint, and a club sandwich for an an hour or so is better than stuck in a traffic jam at McDonalds. And anyway, Jez needs all the "boating" he can get. Lets face it, he's not had much this year. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

I know, it's terrible. But I have to keep Jez occupied during his gardening leave. Plus give him the odd tip here and there - he ferried glided very nicely onto his berth this evening - after I told him not to be in such a hurry - you young people!! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

 

[epervier]

going by the photos I'm not convinced that Jez is out of his depressed state,.... should have great big smiles ............

Friday afternoon and out boatin' instead of workin'

Got ot be good for the soul.

there's a hint of a smile with a pint in his hand though!

Where? Neither of us smoke - only thing on the table is a wallet! To pay for the red diesel!!

 

[Alrob]

sorry - I stand corrected

 

[DoubleVision]

Yes--yet another civil liberty lost--still smarting over the diesel . Must give up again this new year!! will probably cover the extra duty on the juice

 

[Pinnacle]

.........very envious......

....and there was me up in the big smoke at a job interview....

Looks like the marina at Cowes was not too busy this lunchtime.... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hope you both had a great day. FX for Sat is ok, but for Sun is pants!

Piccie No. 5--- 6. Not bad but lots of sticky up thingies and the name is spelt wrong on the Yacht thingies sail cover thingy /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
