Well done m8ty...

A buoyancy aid helps keep your head above the water on the starts too.

Shouldn't the bouyancy aid be worn outside of the wetsuit?

Hey Mollers
Cant wait till Saturday, you know the fighting bit,

oh, by the way, 20 stone Roy's on my side

Mollers · 13 November 2005, 22:16

Might wear my bouyancy aid bowling for a bit of added protection! If Roy takes a swing, can you chuck a pint over me to get the thing to go off ?!

It might be a bit awkward getting that curry down with the crash helmet on.

You want to get in NOW - the water is far warmer in November than it is in spring after its had all winter to cool off again.

Its the idiots who go in the water at easter that scare me

Mollers · 14 November 2005, 11:17

These "up the line" lot have no idea Roy,

My kids were surfing at Praa sands yesterday, it was warmer in the water than out.

Hugh Jardon · 16 November 2005, 17:39

must admit i was in the water in the summer and it was damn freezing then...........

trouble is we dont have a boat between us at the mo suitable for for wakeboarding behind that is in the water currently, the 4 boats are: being sold/not purchased yet/not suitable/no engine not built!!!!

but it does look a lot of fun........are you sure you havent tampered with the temperature scale on that chart roy.......

Thanks

When your as overweight as I am its extremely hard to get out - most of my failures are down to simply not being able to physically hang on to the rope

I have been on a strict diet of fruit and salad since last saturday as I know every pound I loose will make it a bit easier to get out of the water

Mollers · 16 November 2005, 19:31

Veggie curry followed by 8 pints of orange juice on Sat eve then Roy?!!

roycruse · 16 November 2005, 19:43

Errr - Ummm - But - DOH !!!

I might have one night off...

I can handle the veggie curry - but that much orange juice will surely make me ill

Ill have to stick to vodka and slim line tonics or JD and diet cokes all night.

Het Hok · 18 November 2005, 15:25
