Please have one less beer or 5 mins of half throttle (at least in the speed limit zone) and donate at Anya's appeal

Thanks to those who have helped!

We've launched had our shakedown! Been to puffin, bugger me the wind over tide in the sound was fun! One wave over the front!!!! elephant trunk down thank god. Menai strait was flat though, nice and sheltered. Sunny but chilly when it went in.

See you in the morning guys!!!!

Flamin traffic, M62 crash, closed whole road, mini bus and lorry, was on the news, cost me at least 45 minutes to go around, 20 miles further on near Manchestet, 4 lanes down to one due to vehicle fire, another 45 mins and miles of queuing, gets to the tunnel near Conway and another broken down vehicle and the tunnel, another 20 mins!
Over 4 hours to do 120 miles to Welsh border.
Any one know someone with a Chinook as this drivin malarkey getting behind a joke.
Oh for wide open spaces of the sea, bring on tomorrow.
Since it is now 7:30pm and not eaten, were us everyone going tonight?
