I think you lot have got it in for me

Now having returned and at last unloaded the car (oh and the roof rack), had some sleep and cleared away the mess that was dumped into the house, I would just like to add my thanks to Martin and Ruth (who once again kept me in tea) It was without a doubt a fantastic weekend, it was again a pleasure to meet up with all the Mayhemer's that I knew, and to meet some new ones (finaly meet AndrewH) Many thanks must also go to the Wicksteed club for not only allowing total "Mayhem" on their pond but also being very accomadating in all our requests, and a special thanks of course to Nigel who helped out with all sorts of bits and piceices (including late night storage of all the boats)

Now was it just me or did it seem vaguly organised this year ???? good heavens next year we might even have a cunning plan (but then where's the fun in that)

Oh and is that not my boat scoring a bullseye (Stavros please note------)

Time for me to try and grow my singed hair back me-thinks, or shall I go back to my wig (thanks Andy)

Oh and get some paint out-------

Hi all

Wicksteed - so good I went there twice!

Just a quick note to add another thank you to Martin, Bradders and everyone who contributed to the weekend either in the organisation or just by being there. I kept changing my plan between bringing the caravan for the w/e, coming for one day and not being able to get there at all! In the end I settled for coming on Saturday and brought the silaing boat Karoline. I packed very carefully and remembered the boat stand, transmitter, batteries, in fact I thought I'd got everything until I came to fit the drop keel. It was still in the workshop

Never mind I had a great afternoon chatting and having a close look at a Colin Archer being sailed by someone from the Wicksteed club. Anyway not sailing was such fun I decided to come back on Sunday! On Sunday I took the steam launch Fair Constance (Krick Victoria) as well. Guess what, I fired up the boiler and no sooner than I had pressure than there's a steam leak from the lubricator. It looks like a stress crack around the steam inlet to the body. Ah well so ended my attempt a steam boating

I did manage a sail with Karoline having brought the drop keel this time. At least she wafted around the lake for a while in the occasional puff of wind.

So not a lot of action from my boats but a fun weekend and of course I now wish I'd brought the caravan and stayed over. Ah well there's always next year (please martin!)

Cheers

Guy

unlike my flash steam boat, which was more "flash Bang Wallop"

You shouldn't have said that mate....

And after the Sat night BBQ, where we make that I, cooked a sasuage with a half life of a 1000 years we had a (dry) night sail
(with half the lake lit up by Ghosties boat)

SteamboatPhil · « **Reply #114 on:** May 26, 2009, 11:24:55 pm »

Thats my springer, Ghosties was so bright the camera said no, I think he had been collecting LED since the last Mayhem

How bright for Llanberis then Ghost

Ghost in the shell · « **Reply #115 on:** May 26, 2009, 11:30:03 pm »
