Sounds and views like a good weekend was had by all, must try and muster a boat together for the next bash. Interesting watching the vids and reading some of the posts, Brox'bne looks very like I remember it (t'was the 80's when I last ventured out there) and Lasers were slippery out there then... not much has changed in the meantime...... which is interesting when you taken into account the amount of air & ££££ outputted in an effort to design, build and train to go faster since in a variety of ways.
.... perhaps this points, at least some of the way, to the enduring popularity of the beach boat?

After all that I have done for you ![]() Is there no gratitude for my kindness and generosity? OH! I didn't buy you a drink because I was seriously worried about your health. Did you look in the mirror on Saturday night? I guess not as you may have died of shock

Have you forgotten that when you were about to round your leeward mark on one of the 2000 rounds I was coming past on starboard and was kind enough to let you through even though you would have had no rights? I see now that my kindness has gone unrewarded. I saved you from trashing you boat against my battleship and saved you from ALCOHOL buy not buying you any. There's no gratitude in this world any more

All right, all right chaps. I was not there to witness all this bum squeezing schoolboy fun. I am sure that lifetime friendships were forged and that you will all march forward together into a hostile world. Very good....the world turns but a boat covered in Fablon won, Finns lumbered about and the remainder sailed without distinction. Can we get back to disagreement and abuse now?

Honestly tickler you should have been there, there were wooden boats and that Finn of Rodneys is really quite beautiful close up, I think it even had window boxes, it certainly had a couple of cup holders and upholstered seats. Folk were queueing up for it Rodney came fourth in quite a high skill level fleet and he did it half asleep, he only woke up one time when he was about to round a mark the wrong way whilst I was trying to round it correctly..

Rodney .. disappointed in you, what happened to the wood burning stove and the logs we all carry in the Finn forward cabin. Clearly you have one of the new Olympic specials!

So, since you were all there in your warm brotherly soup of friendship and I was not. I am 'the' outsider, the only receptor of hostility and persecution. I just hope you all wore adequate protection or what seemed like fun in October will take some explaining in July. Since young Mr Fuller has come all over all full of 'bon hommie' I had better upset people until he regains his senses. |
