New Year Cruise LATEST

MeMe · 11 December 2003, 10:22

We're just 2 weeks away from what I hope will be a well attended jaunt around Cardigan Bay.

As previously discussed we're looking to meet on Sunday 28th around 10:00 outside the Harbour Masters Office in Pwllheli. There's a great slip with easy access and plenty of storage for boats, cars and the like.

Jono's office will, I hope, be available to discuss the merits of "Yorkshire Tea" whilst musing over the charts and generally familiarising ourselves with eachother (taking the piss out of Ian for not having a RIB)......

Accommodation advice has already been posted on this thread by David Manning, who I'm sure will revert with further advice if sought.

If the weather's not great we have the option of a launch from Morfa Nefyn, which is about 5 miles further down the coast (15minutes). Some may even prefer this option as the pub will be open !

Can all those interested (actually going to attend, not just tell us they are - Phil Davies) post below. Further, feel free to call me if you have any queries.

See you there,

As you know, I never like to let my public down.
See you on the slipway - I'll be the cardboard cut-out in the Range Rover

Gaynor, I'm sure MeMe said turn left once in Abersoch!
Looks like I'll miss this one as well

No problem using my office, bring your own T

Big fuss at Morfa Nefyn at mo, over drift nets. Your likly to get your car pushed in the drink if you launch your boat there.

We were the talk of the town after last time.

Are the nets legal? Some say yes, some say no. And how on earth do you know where they are? There were no ident's in sight!

Jono Garton · 16 December 2003, 20:19

Providing your intent is to catch bass, they are legal. Small buoy at each end and couple of hundred yards of net in between.

Ian · 16 December 2003, 20:27

never saw them, did you?

Jono Garton · 16 December 2003, 22:08

They look like pot bouys.

Richard B · 16 December 2003, 22:43

Whart happened.... did you get caught in them?

Ian · 17 December 2003, 00:10

just got a 'telling off' by an 80 year old red neck and his missus.
Didn't see anything or catch a net.

Richard B · 17 December 2003, 00:36

Hmmm... how was it left? (the argument/confrontation/difference of opinion)?

MeMe · 17 December 2003, 08:42

with local knowledge. we were just recovering when he approached us in his car advising that we'd been lucky not to get caught in any nets. We laughed it off in a polite manner, however it would appear that Jono, being a local has heard we were the talk of the town.

I carry a very large and sharp dive knife for just such events / emergencies !

Now Now this is Wales not stockport,

i'm sure the ols man was armless. No need to go mad. Still i may bring my guns just in case.

Just another idea, what about taking a pair of scissors or somthing just in case we catch anet. Have you seen anet, she's a nasty peice of work.

I knew someone called Annette in Cork.

She married a neighbour of ours called John Curtin. (Honestly)

Missus

Was she nervous about the wedding, or did she pull herself together?

The Jackeens · 17 December 2003, 18:55

Missus

Jono Garton · 17 December 2003, 19:07

Thats nearly as gud as Ben Dover or Huw Janus

Bittentobuggery · 17 December 2003, 20:04

What about Hugh G Rection ?

My favourite, and this is also very sadly for him, true, was a family callled Sprout of all things. And what did they name their only son...

Yes, you've guessed it

Russell Sprout

Maybe he changed his name by deedpoll to Ginger Tw*t ....
