Mike Fox Posted June 21, 2007 Report Posted June 21, 2007 The annual mayhem of the Round the Island Race takes place on Saturday 23rd June. http://www.roundtheisland.org.uk/web/code/...hp?section=home This is a very good day to avoid the Solent in my experience, unless planning a session in EXTREMELY shallow water (where they can't get you). Before you ask, we're not entering, never have, and probably never will! Mike Quote

Before you ask, we're not entering, never have, and probably never will! Mike Mike they will still try their best! The Birmingham Navy is bad enough, but the Birmingham Navy, WAFi style, all fired up with 4knots of high speed racing adrenalin is a true sight to behold. Quote
djredrupp Posted June 21, 2007 Report Posted June 21, 2007 (edited) WAFI's? wife and family included? lol ahh well Dan Edited June 21, 2007 by djredrupp Quote
Mike Fox Posted June 21, 2007 Author Report Posted June 21, 2007 To avoid any potential offence being taken Tom, I presume you meant sailors, yachtsmen, or Environmentally Friendly Boat Users.... Mike Quote
Afishionado Posted June 21, 2007 Report Posted June 21, 2007 No he meant Wafi's. You and yours Mr Fox have the unique and well justified position of being a sane and sensible Motorboat/Fisherman dude, that carries a mast and sails purely for the dubious status they might inspire at Cowes or Newtown Creek. "Ai see may min, is that a mickirill one has caught?" Mad Mike Quote
djredrupp Posted June 21, 2007 Report Posted June 21, 2007 (edited) so funny to see motorboaters despise for yachties, and knowing exactly the same thing happens the other way round ( look at him with patio doors... is there any need for such a wake!) interesing to see as im a yachtie at heart, but recently converted to power in the interests of conveniance! just dont want to start a witch hunt!
