An alternative cruise
Today was a brilliant day for a cruise with a difference, perhaps not EVERYONE'S idea of a day out on the RIB 
It won't be too difficult to guess where we are!

Didn't realise he'd picked up his new 9m rib. I thought that was Puffin Island.
The weather looks as though it was perfect today. Are you out again tomorrow?

That first pic looks like the pond in Lord Jeds estate.

Too right Dave! it certainly is impressive.
Unfortunately the boat is out of the water for a while now, hoping to take it for a spin on 28th Nov, then at Christmas and the 28th.
Jono has suggested a game of cricket on St Patrick's Causeway (Sarn Badrig) if we can time it for low water, or a sortie onto Bardsey island.
It is Puffin Island Ian, Jono's rib will be bigger than that!

Superb pics John, looks like some cracking weather for you today 
Blowing upto force 7 down here today at the lower half of wales - I've been stuck in the office all afternoon, and have been watching small ribs thoroughly enjoying themselves in the surf on the haven with the nice wind over spring tide effects 
I think it's going to be pretty windy tomorrow too, the swell at St Annes is 4 metres at the mo, so we'll see if I can get out to the islands - will get some pics if I can

Guess Where We Are?
Hi John & Ged,
It certainly looks very tranquill, my guess is you are somewhere near the lake district.
Not often this Aging Southerner gets up North. Will Try harder next year.
Great pictures.

Nice Shots,
Hi John.....nice to see you're out and about. I'm a bit late posting a reply as I've just returned from a business trip. Great pictures. We're looking forward to seeing you for the "New Year Cruise" where we'll no doubt take a few more. Perhaps Ian can take some of us from the shore line as he hasn't got a ride at the moment and he certainly won't be getting one in mine.
Ian.......I spotted your comment, it won't go without rebuttal or consequence !!!!!!
