Anyone playing out in Menai Straits 12-14 April?

Barrowboy · 09 April 2014, 00:28

Well, after the refurb, the time has come to clean and scrub the toobs before heading to the Straits for a 'shakedown' this weekend.

Friday's looking good so I'm thinking of hitching up and heading west early doors, launching from Ty Calch mid-morning.

Any fellow nobburs about on Friday or the weekend?

I certainly am Steve but probably wise not to attempt a trip round the island without a thorough shakedown first. That's my excuse anyway but don't tell the Leader of the Opposition...

Good idea! Wish I could get out this weekend, but I wouldnt want to come home..

Fantastic day. Sunshine, straits to myself and best of all, everything worked!

Blast out to Puffin, a more gentle meander back, boat now parked at Is Helen and sat outside harbour pub with a pint of Stella in the sun. Superb.

Night in hotel and then do it again tomorrow with the missus.

Happy days.

Sat outside harbour pub with a pint of Stella ( not a real ale place but hey ho ) overnight in hotel and do another blast out to Puffin tomorrow!

Happy days !

Barrowboy · 12 April 2014, 18:17

Had a good blast with Whackywoody + his mum and dad today. Launched at Chris's and headed round to the Gazelle, pottered about and then headed back, or should I say, once rounding the corner at Port Dinorwic 'bashed' back to Caernarfon.

Gareth, being completely hard-core, kept going to Puffin.

Another great day on the water.
