Glad you all had a good day, great to meet up, maybe a cruise to ty Coch next time, great place to pull for a pint

'twas nice running through the strait with you and Chris (that was you in the 4.8 Tornado?), this was my ribbing high point so far. Will be back as soon as poss.
nowt wrong with your trailer, just the ol fella has lost his touch, Tom didn't seem to have a problem

to be fair to HP, it's a very unusual Humber, in fact I think "The Cardinal" is a one off

Agreed when pottering near shore etc. but when 2 mile out cutting across sandbanks, when 1.5m flashes by at 40knots you think "uh oh" what's the depth at the next bank!!!!

Off to pilot cove tomorrow with Cookie all being well. Hope to see some of you tomorrow
it was good to meet up the other day and have a chat, surprising who you see on the Straits

I have, comedy, he just steps off and walks round the front. I don't think they even navigate. If they see water they ride on it.

When i was stuck i was thinking how i laughed at those jet skiers. How easy its done and the tide was going out fast. I envisaged being stuck for the next 8 hours. Got out and with a bit of heaving managed to push off- what a relief!

Was it HP and Tony T, I saw buzzing around the Caernarfon end on Frtiday , early afternoon? I was the little orange rib with a knackered throttle!
I've never operated an outboard by ropes before!

Not guilty your honour.

I was sat on a beach in Abersoch with my little one throwing sand in my face every 5 mins.

TT was doing a Ribquest demonstration I believe but not sure where, most likely Cardigan bay....
