Menai 23rd June ......Bananashark

Hi, is anybody else going to be around the Menai area on 23rd June when Bananashark will be passing through The Menai on way round britain http://www.rib.net/forum/f8/e-lites-...k-47747-5.html

Cookee will be really happy to see a few ribs about to help guide them across Caernarfon Bar, past the speed limit at Port Dinorwic, through the Straits and to Puffin Island, should be a great spectacle and no need to try and keep up with their usual cruising speed, Cookee has promised to slow down for us so we can have a good look, especially for you Rocky

Not sure if I've got a fast enough shutter speed! It might just be a white blur.

You can come on the whole trip from Swansea up to Douglas if you like! Start bidding!

Seriously someone will have paid to have that seat - you might get one of us to swap for a bit but it would take too long to give everyone a ride - why don't you all put your names in a hat on the day and draw lots to make it fun - put a tenner a head in and we'll give it all to the Hospice in Douglas for you?

Can't say fairer than that!
