I am keen to boat over the festive season, to blow away any hangovers and to keep the boat running.

So I will be keeping my eye on the weather, and as soon as we have a good window checking the options for launching - and if it all aligns I will be heading out - and I will keep my eye on the forum to see if anyone has plans.

Menai Straits - 28th Dec

Look out for the snow fellas!

You'll have a great backdrop if it does.

Menai Straits - 28th Dec

Not sure on everyone's plans yet, but I plan on getting to Chris's and been ready to go about 11:00.


I need to speak to Chris though first and confirm everything is OK - as it's been a few weeks since we mentioned the trip.

Just had a message from Chris and he will be available to launch anyone who wants to go.

I'm planning on getting down about 10am and launching around 10:30-11 ish.

I'm not sure on my plans yet - depends on who is my crew, so it may just be a run to the gazelle for me and back.

My plan is now confirmed.

I will be staying in the Straits for the day - taking it nice and easy due to my crew.

I plan on launching around 11, and heading up-to the Gazelle for lunch, taking in the views and trying to stay as warm as possible then heading back.

Hope to see some of you out, but unfortunately won't be heading to Conwy.

I'm going to join too with a mate, but plan picking up the wives and 2 kids. Probably stick to the straits and Puffin Island. See you in the morning!
