Should the Forumites 2017 meeting be held at Redoubt SC? There could be no excuses....

Y'all'd get slaughtered, butchered alive by Miracle Mums then the Miracle Grandads would come along to pick over the remains, then the Miracle kids would kick the bits about, 1st place available would probably be twelfth..

Unfortunately Redoubt doesn't have equipment essential for the running of an FOM... bar facilities, but otherwise as a water destination it would be a hoot, I might even have to break out the MiniSprint and PY it up to 1250 just to welcome y'all..

I have been quiet of late,contemplating my life-long misdemeanors and preparing a case to put before God when we finally meet. That and fixing Alfa Romeos has kept me busy.

Success is generally measured in terms of performance but how about survival as a measure? It is 6 years since I last fell in....and that was out of a Solo. Can anyone match that?&

But Tick
When was the last time you sailed, after all fixing an Alfa is a full time job.
So saying 6 years ago was the last time you fell in does not count if you have not been sailing or sailing Solo's on a pond only in force 2.

Part of the art of not falling in is knowing when it is inevitable if you do venture out, and watching others get wet.

Well of course, "Discretion is the better part of valour". I could have risked my record by launching myself upon the foaming deep but any trace of foam keeps me in the clubhouse chatting to the women. However I do sometimes venture to the waters edge in support of team Byte but not if there is any risk of splashing! However I do think that I have sailed enough to qualify, albeit in conditions where I am challenged by boredom rather than soaking.
