Once again, yawn, will attempt to go around Anglesey at the start of the season.

High tide Menai is around 1pm BST. Its a big 9.74m < Edit: it's 7.8 actually > so it'll be fun and its best to run with it clockwise. I will head through the bridges at just before 1/2 Water, 9.30 am. Will pass Caernarfon Ty Coch where all the dry suit brigade launch at Chris's slip with his tractor (10 ish) and then head round for picnic lunch in Holyhead marina hopefully. Onwards then right round for a charge up the Strait for a beer or two at the Gazelle.

This year I'm going at my own pace, I've swept for two/three years now shepherding smaller craft home in inclement weather (it'll be flat calm now). So whilst we do all help each other by nature, everyone really must buddy up with similar craft and make your own judgement whether to continue or turn around if weather is poor.

Hope to see a lot of you out again as it's awesome seeing 20-30 boats all charging around the island, like last year.

Again, this is just a get together, you are all responsible for your own crew and boat's safety and must observe all the local rules and regs.

A few others may organise an evening bash at the campsite in Caernarfon that night on another thread. Last year with a Hog roast and projected photos of the day scrolling through really did top it off. Be great to see you all again, as most of you regularly point out, I don't get out much now I'm a dad twice over!

Tick tock, no too long.

all being well, count us in, can't wait:cool:

hoping to be there with a rebuilt engine...fingers crossed! last year turned into a bit of a video editing competition. i thought i was doing well until black shadow productions made an appearance!

Looking forward to it already - hopefully we will get better weather.

I will be giving this one a miss due to the Scotland trip in May.

Isn't that a whole month later?!

Yes but what I say I do I do :whistling:

Lets see if you do the same ;)

I've made the last three annual Anglesey trips. Not a bad record.

Enjoy Scotland, sure you could do both. Can't public sector peeps just take a "Duvet day"? ;)

I'm going to be super cheeky ....as the 27th is my actual Birthday is there any chance of blagging a seat on the way round with someone please ? :whistling:

Or of course I convince Whisper to tow his Ribcraft up ( I can tow it ! :thumbs:) - I know he'd love it !

Haha! I was going to offer a swap, a seat on this cruise or round IOM for a seat on my boat for round Isle of Wight.

No problem hop aboard with the BS gang we will find you a seat or 2 :thumbs:

Fantastic - thankyou ...I'll continue to work on Whisper too ....go on:thumbs: ..my car will tow Madness easily !

I've towed Glider trailer to Denbigh...its just up the road ..

Count us in, I'm only surprised its got this late in the year before you announced it Paul :lol:

Lack of spare time Neil :(

Good lad Neil, still not seen Nemanda in the flesh. You happy with the Ally hull?

Glad to see TT running his tour business again. Little do they know he makes them sign a disclaimer and contract of payment once they are 250metres offshore! ;) either that or he sinks his RIB and swims ashore in his Black Shadow!

if you want a day out we may be ale to find you a seat or two :thumbs:

Thanks for offer Chris, but got 3 family weddings to attend in the New Year the first one being on the 19th April.

A taster of last year

no probs Kerny, enjoy the weddings :D

winegums on order :thumbs:

Not sure about this trip i'll know a bit closer to the date if i can make it :thumbs:

I'll be there if its warm enough

Will definateley Try to make it this time...could well have a seat or two spare too:thumbs:

Exactly what is your definition of "warm enough"?

Andy/Hadd - wouldn't be the same without you!

No howling wind, lashing rain, 100% cloud cover..............suppose that rules me out then!!

I'll be there with Mr M :thumbs:

Will be Good to meet up again Matthew we will give you southern boys a tour of the Island. We normally stay at the Premier Inn at Caernarfon we will sort overnight Rib storage etc if your coming plus there's a great Pub with good food all with in a stones throw of the Harbour

If u want a seat son u can jump on, we will be there and going round ANFA:thumbs: :cool:

Well pleased with the Rib so far. Seems to ride the waves well. Not really been in any really rough stuff yet, got some chop going round Anglesey back end of summer handled it all well

Biggest worry is the thirsty twatsu tbh still not worked out how much we are getting to the mile; I reckon it's nowhere near a litre tho more like .5. Doh but 6.9 metres I kind of expected it

Let's hope the weather is better this time you know what it's like when HP picks a weekend :D

Should be up for it.

[QUOTE=tony t;504932]Let's hope the weather is better this time you know what it's like when HP picks a weekend :D[/QUOTE Dow we know it looey:whistling:

Even he as to pick a good day sometime :D

Here's hoping. Though I do always try it in April rather than August. :(

Hey up p4vwl. About time this message got posted ha ha !

Count us in bradosh / tiger / asswakur can test out his new ribeye

Sure yoyo will be along here soon

Bradosh et al! Good to have you all on board.

We will try to make it if we get the new suspension seats fitted in the Vipermax in time

Sounds nice!

Hi,

I like the idea of doing this trip particularly with a crowd of ribs taking part. However I don't want to impose. Is the trip open to all?

Open to all. Just turn up, it's a free for all of like minded (?!) individuals. Safety in numbers but ultimately you are responsible for your own boat, crew and navigation. Join in for all or part o the trip at any point, just good to see boats on the water.

Looking good re numbers again!

Ribnet - Round Anglesey 2013

A list of boats and engines so people get a feel for the likely cruising speeds.

If you struggle with navigation, follow the floating debris from Deano's Ribcraft as A) He will be ahead of everyone else as he is at WOT or neutral and B) He maintains A at all costs including breakages of gear, fittings and crew, last year was his steering wheel!!!.... though he carried on regardless.

Looking good

think you might find Rocknrolla is an Osprey, you may be on his hit list again HP :D

Doh! Innocent mistake with potentially fatal consequences. I mean, it's not like he's built like a brick outhouse and is a member of some dark and mysterious midland's based gang........:willk:

I think as Lord Farquar I have never been off his hit list! :hide:

Would love to come along to this and do at least a bit of it. Think I'll be able to keep up with only a little 85?.

It's okay HP he's getting calm as he gets older he will probably only half kill you :D

I did alter it for him in my post and put Matts in as well

he can't get much older :hide: and he's just changed his defender to a disco3, deffinately getting old :dance:

yeah no problem, i didnt have much trouble last year:thumbs:

Think we would find our fishing rib a bit slow so we will be in the 7m Vipermax
with a 250 e-tech on the back

We would have loved to meet up with you all again but unfortunately will be working that weekend :-( hope to bump into some of you on the water next season though...

We will be around well before this event Phil will pm you when we are going to Holyhead be good to go over to the Skerries again

Brill- look forward to coffee on the pontoon!!

I'd be up for a trip to the skerries tony, I've threatened a few times but never actually 'landed' there

Okay Mike have your number still, will let you know when :thumbs: best be careful or else Hp will be moaning about a thread drift :D

Actually I'm not sure I'd have enough tank range to do this.

I have a 100ltr tank, and the spec sheet I've found says my 85AET will be doing 35l per hour which gives me 2hrs running with 30l left for contingency. Even at 25knt average that only gives me 50 nautical and I make the trip as posted more like 75 - 80. I guess I could haul a couple of jerry cans...

Do these sums make sense or am i being a numptie (willfish, feel free to sit this one out!)? Are these the sort of fuel costs I should be getting used to?

Stick some jerrys on you will be fine people will have extra I went round mull on 120 l with twin 90 s and that's 100 nm

your figures are prob about right. think a lot of people have to carry extra cans - we do.

Here's a vid from last year's Anglesey cruise / sorry it's not come on :rolleyes:

Looks like I'm going to be at the back with TT again anyway with some of these flying machines below! :eek:

Are we having a piggy at the end of this cruise?

Not sure who actually did it last time?

Kerny took numbers.

think it was ribeye mick & rocky that sorted the venue etc :thumbs:

What about a Chinese at mr Foo's he would section part of the room and do us a Chinese banquet he does great food plus a bar .. Just a thought :D

Mr Fu's is good for me, he might join us as well cos he's got a rib in chris's as well

A spare rib I presume :D

Jeeesh, do you guys use your engines to keep on course or have all the etec saddles broken? You've drifted for ages whilst I've been gone.

doin ok ta, jus need a bit of menai air in the ol lungs to clear out that gas n air crap dey giv me, still a bit dozzy :cool:

Get back on the wine gums and jelly babies, they'll pull you through and ready for April.

nevva bin off em mate :thumbs: got a likin for blackcurrent n liquorice as well now, must'av bin all dat gas n air messin wiv me taste buds :D

Mr Fu's sounds good to me, better get in with an early booking as it gets full on a saturday night :eek:

Mr Foos sounds good to me.

Think we will be towards the back of the pack as we are only running a 60hp on a Menai 4.8m top speed 30kns using a litre a mile - comfortable cruising at 20kn. Total distance I believe is around 80 miles.

Does anyone know if you can refuel at Holyhead Marina?


Not managed to get around Anglesey yet so looking forward to it. Not worried though if we don't we will just turnaround and meet the the big boys coming the other way to see if they bend any props going round Puffin!

No petrol at Holyhead unless you fancy a long walk :D

HP as you down on his list as115 yam on 5.5 Humber .... Sumat else he got wrong :D

Now now Gran be careful we don't swamp yea as we fly through :D

HP

Cookie has the 115yam on a 5.5 humber (hopefully Phil and Gill will be with us as well)
