Christmas boating wish list

What have people got in mind then for things they would like for Christmas for boating ?

Personally I would like something new to tow my boat with but I can't see me getting anything

P.S. I'm only asking the question not offering to get what you want

You know. We pay through the nose for fuel because its supposed to stop us using so much because its bad for the environment, and yet how much bad for the environment gases have been fired off over this week.

Fireworks I mean.......

Ok so I'm used to a bit more comfort than you, seats,windscreen,carpet so a ladder's not much to ask for

Oh yes a new set of legs would have been nice this morning

I quite fancy one of those power attachments for the trailer having got wet a couple of times already.....

And how about a heater? If BMW can keep you warm in a 330 cabriolet with the roof down.....

Ahh come on where have all the real ribbers gone!! All this talk of heaters and fine weather.

I'll have some big waves and some Opti juice please!! (went out last saturday and it was like glass, how disappointing!!)

Oh ya Tue, Barnet have got that windscreen, but its a bit steep at £425. Looks nice though!!

Don't just say you went out Steve!

You gotta tell us old exiled langers where so we can revisit it in our minds and wipe a tear from our eyes...

OK...Union Hall? Old Head? Fastnet? Youghal? Ballycotton?

Your right definately not cool, in fact scorchy hot and a brilliant bit of kit on the bike in the middle of the winter. Currently working on using mine underneath my drysuit for diving

Just for you Missus!! Went up to Patricks bridge to collect my brother, East ferry for lunch and then out past Roches Pt. heading for the Old Head turned back when we realised we weren't gonna get any waves & chased the wake of a few ships leaving the harbour. Then it was back to Cronins in Xhaven for a few pints
