Thanks to those ribs that came to my assistance on Monday off Anglesey

Had a breakdown (mechanical not mental!) off Moltreith Beach on Monday while wakeboarding with friends. I flagged down a passing rib, not realising that it was part of a group of ribs heading down the coast. They all rafted up and offered assistance and advice. Fortunately I managed to get another boat from our group that were picnicking to come and tow me home.
Just a quick thanks to them for raising our spirits! Cannot remember what type of ribs they were but they were all dressed up for a cross atlantic crossing (with boats to match!).
