Afishionado Posted February 23, 2006 Report Posted February 23, 2006 I am sitting in my warm lounge looking at the snow falling outside, and I wonder how Tom is getting on on his 60 mile round trip by sea to S'oton and back? Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Look out for a little blue man frozen to the helm Mad Mike Quote
Newboy Posted February 23, 2006 Report Posted February 23, 2006 To be honest, I was tempted to go with him, but the cold and the wife couldn't look after the shop while I'm away pay stop to that. Hope whoever turned up brought him some pipping hot coffe Quote
plaicemat Posted February 23, 2006 Report Posted February 23, 2006 Mind you, those things he sells probably have central heating and jaccuzis. I mean, it's not like REAL boating! Quote
Afishionado Posted February 23, 2006 Author Report Posted February 23, 2006 Mind you, those things he sells probably have central heating and jaccuzis. I mean, it's not like REAL boating! When I were a lad we used to get up half an hour before we went to bed, walk 200 miles to the low water mark and dig for worms 'till May. Then we went out wi' a row boat that took 6 men t' bail it whilst me a lad of 5 used t' row it in a force 10 for hours on end........... An' we thought oursen lucky to 'av a job. Mad Mike Quote
TomBettle Posted February 23, 2006 Report Posted February 23, 2006 Cruised back at 30kts, central heating on, auto pilot on sitting in the hot tub, smoking a big cuban, whilst laughing at the sleet and snow and waving angry fists at stupid WAFI (Wind Assisted Ucking Idiot) yachtsmen who refused to get out of my way.
