I'm about 50% sure I'll make it, but Atom Ant has decided he'd rather go to work than sail. So if I make it I will need a crew.

Prefer

1) small (i'm big and it's a little boat)

2) not afraid of derision (it's a pea green proa, people will laugh at us)

3) not too fussed about placing (i'll be happy to finish)

4)owning a handheld gps , vhf and two flares would be a bonus as I'm told I need such things to enter

5) commitment to having fun.

 

 

Now I'll sit back and wait to be knocked down in the rush.

Well, I can prob do 2, 3, 2/3 of 4 (no flares), and 5 . . . but cannot do one - sorry, and that sounds your most important :)

Anyway, hope to be able to join the crew on the Kati side of the squeeze when they come through, and the boss will need me to help with the yatchit.

Do you want the young fella to come with you? He can give orders really well!! AND can do 1,2,3,4 and 5 (minus the flares!)

Well I doubt I did either or Squids version of light and mine are different! Too much good food at Christmas and too many days with nothing to do but sit inside eating Christmas cake...

So how come you have to work on the weekend AA? I thought your target demographic worked Mon to Fri only?

 

Or is it the Friday night you cannot make?

 

Or is it just you don't want to be laughed off the water :twisted:

You are indeed correct that my target demographic work Mon - Fri, but unfortunately there are a number of conventions on around the same time and so it is one of those that scuppers it for me.

 

And I don't want to get laughed off the water... :lol:

Although I as yet have not seen the Squid in real life, I did try and talk "the boss" into looking at her bigger cousin up Nth, but he was put off by the whole shunting thing . . .

 

No offense intended :twisted: I am sure she is a lovely yatchit, and hope to see her down here the weekend of 10th February

I thought of you, but #1 is an issue, the payload is supposed to be around 350lbs max, a couple of burritos and I'm there. :lol:

 

And to think that I went on a diet over the happy season and lost 10kg :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

Dreams are free....if only that happened.

The Owl and the Pussycat went to sea

In a beautiful pea-green boat,

They took some honey, and plenty of money,

Wrapped up in a five pound note.

The Owl looked up to the stars above,

And sang to a small guitar,

"O lovely Pussy! O Pussy, my love,

What a beautiful Pussy you are, you are, you are,

What a beautiful Pussy you are."

Pussy said to the Owl "You elegant fowl,

How charmingly sweet you sing.

O let us be married, too long we have tarried;

But what shall we do for a ring?"

They sailed away, for a year and a day,

To the land where the Bong-tree grows,

And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood

With a ring at the end of his nose, his nose, his nose,

With a ring at the end of his nose.

"Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling your ring?"

Said the Piggy, "I will"

So they took it away, and were married next day

By the Turkey who lives on the hill.

They dined on mince, and slices of quince,

Which they ate with a runcible spoon.

And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand.

They danced by the light of the moon, the moon, the moon,

They danced by the light of the moon.

 

 

Pea green boat eh ? this leaves many questions....
