Morfa Nefyn Nov 29th.

The Jakkeens who made a sterling effort to drive up from the Solent for a day in the Welsh wavelets. Was it worth it? The grins say it all.

We arrived at Pwllheli to find a F8 gale with horizontal rain so we towed the boats the eight miles to the other side of the peninsular for a beach launch.

John and Adam out in a tornado.

Ian and Graeme out in one of those dangerous med style ribs.

Humper showing his affectionate nature. DM thinking 'what a ugly son of a bitch'.

Missis Jackeen helming Caprice. We were all very impressed with the smoothness of her driving in the chop compared to us 'bump and grind' merchants.

Great pics DM, if you look closely you can see the RNLI speeding toward me as "MeMe" obviously looks like she's unable to cope with the varying viscosity and surface tension of our U.K waters. Thanks for a great day.

According to my "Scale Metre" it was near hurricane force, this was confirmed upon my return home when I found "skid marks" in my pants.

I understand a force 8 is what usually comes out of your ??????

Hey Rogue, you know Jahno and the rest of the NW Ribsters well. When are you coming down for a trip out?
You will note we had a few southerners up this weekend, one from the south east couldn't be bothered, but hey, this made it even more fun.
And no comments on how far it is, I used to do the trip to Aberdeen every week for years so when are you coming? You'll get to meet us and see how close to the truth your comment is

The Jackeens · 01 December 2003, 19:27

nice pics DM,
Thanks for brill time. You have a great boat & it handled well with Santa's little helper on the front!!!
Come down & show us how it's done with Zebedee any time at all...

Yes I understand that apart from that all you do is drink, Rib, eat and tork Bollix. Some of you even have your own boats, I understand? but they look like motorised deckchairs!

I'd be very happy to take up your kind offer whenever I cross the Border and come down South.

Och aye the noah

Ian · 01 December 2003, 21:25

The only problem with that is you aint norff of the border, are you? You rogue.
Deck chair appearance only seen on med's. 'Proper' ribs have black long roundy seats that you can stand astride or sit on, whatever takes your fancy.

Rogue Wave · 01 December 2003, 22:05

Yes you are correct I am in fact a rogue!

The Jackeens · 01 December 2003, 22:08

The location

The Jackeens · 01 December 2003, 22:14

It can be sunny up North !!!

The Jackeens · 01 December 2003, 22:15

Nobber - Thinks he's on the water

Dave blasting along (I think)
