Big thank you to Jono and all others who help organise / coordinate the weekend - had a great time, saw some new sights, met some nice people and amazing to be part of so many boats headed the same direction at the same time. There were some pretty stunned observers "what the ....... "

Well done Jono,
I could not make the cruise in to cardigan bay but the Saturday evening bash at the Power boat club was excellent, and the BBQ was the best.
Good to meet so many interesting people who have the same interests (with the exception of Crusoe who likes farm animals)

Jono, is the restaurant at the power boat club open to non members, Kath and I will be down to Pwllheli on the 24th so could be a good place to eat.

Hope you all got home safely the Irish sea to the IOM was like a mill pond.

Hi Here some more pics these are off my phone as forgot camera (doohhh)

there was a really weird moment out on the water,just as we left portmadog some how were up at the front of the pack in our Little avon, i glanced around to see a wall of ribs heading straight at us with an even bigger wall of spray and water behind them ,

quite daunting really especially when ever body passes and the wakes lift you out of the water

did any body catch a similar moment ?

Andy

well done Jono and everbody else who put together such a great weekend

see it doesnt all ways rain up North !

also pic of broken steering counsul that stoped us playing on sunday

if you look carefully you can just make out Downhilldai sneaking up on the seals in stealth mode!! his rib is the only one equipped for the task

Cool. I must say you seem to be being remarkeably restrained on there!

See, it was lucky that "Holier than thou International Ocean God Jimbo", didn't go to Pwllheli, as it seems you have been caught out Chris . I'd change your sig to "Ignorant Rib Driver" after reading what those guys had to say. In fact, to be honest, I think we all should, as ribs present much more of a danger/hazard when they break down or are being inconsiderate than yachts do

i think the guy was being an arse with his silly name calling etc, was there all weekend and did not spot anyone causing problems in any way what so ever, as for speeding out of the harbour did not see any of that out or in, and most people were vidding and taking pics so i think they provide proof enough.

on the sunday when we were all grouped together waiting to go, a local fishing boat was leaving and had plenty of room but still managed to roll his eyes at our group. I expect if we go to fisherman.net some birk will be moaning there as well!!

it was a fantastic weekend and very enjoyable indeed.
