That time of the year again

Off to Wineport tomorrow to see Santa arriving by boat

You have all been very good Boy's and Girls this year with no one on the naughty list so Im sure you will all get what you ask for "as long as it's under a 30 footer"
It's just goes to show the type of people boaters are well done to all for making this a welcoming and fun forum with no need for a Mod to use his powers

I got to be crew on a 34.7 footer and no doubt a lifetime of abuse to come

And an introduction to a sport that has literally changed my life, and had the most fantastic impact on my mental health and overall wellbeing

When I strolled into Howth Yacht Club in May this year ( hard to believe its only over six months) to take an exploratory trip on a boat, I could never ever have imagined the sheer love it has engendered in me

As an ole yan of forty I was welcomed, and have since sailed on dinghys squibs, cats, and cruisers, and loved them all.

It's been great reading how you have taken to the sailing and the enjoyment it gives you hopefully it will encourage other newbies to do the same.
It is amazing how good boating is to the mind and soul it has help me a lot over the years and is my daily drug although the wife thinks I overdose sometimes

Teh trick is that nobody notices when a mod uses his powers... except those that are on the naughty list....

If you ever want to have a go on a real boat (as opposed to one of those noisy yokes with an outboard, let me know :P)

Sadly for some reason unknown to me we will no longer be hearing from Steve:D
