"Drill anyway" says the Texan, "I feel lucky".

Bournville MBC.

Went to the Bournville MBC sub dive in,

good weather, lots of subs, put the club name on the map.

Lots of chat about subs and lots of sailing,

Mrs B is suffering from withdrawal symptoms after being so close to Cadburys.

Al the Comm.

Looks like it was a nice sunny day!.

Have you checked out the "For sale" section lately?.

Tidied it up and dropped out the items that were obviously not going to sell, either not wanted, or too dear and the already sold items, in case you couldn't see the wood for the trees!.

This week at the lake, 20.9.16.

This week at the lake, 20.9.16.

This week at the lake the weather has been beautiful for the time of the year, perhaps not as windy for the yacht sailors, but you can't have everything, would be nice if you could but that might be a bit boring after a while hey.

Buttie and equipment bags and the odd flasks cluttering up the benches, no wonder there's no room for boats!, the yachts are too big to be rigged on the bench though aren't they. 

A few of the members present on the day, full of bacon and sausage butties.

Al the comm's "Dog Boat"

Took yards and yards of planking for the deck on this one.

Remember Trevor's "A" class yacht "Shere Khan" which had a metallic deck?, 

Its been refurbished and now has a more traditional look to it, I thought it looked good before, there again I'm known for my liking off a bit of bling on my boats!.

Little and Large,

 I even had my MicroMagic out with the big boys!.

Not many of these about on this side of the country, but plenty of them on the east coast where they are used for racing, same as we race Fiesta's, cheaper too.

"Don't even think about touching the boats or equipment" or "I'll have your arm off" 

And who's been throwing their dummy out of the pram, any idea's?, all answers in a plain brown envelope to Al the Comm!!, only kidding!.

Watch this space!.

Next post, Al the Comm's visit to Bourneville, no not the chocolate factory, the Model submarine event!

Towing again.

Towing again.

On my last post I suggested that one of the tugs would be able to tow someone in the rescue boat!.

Member Andy Quick sent me this item this week!.

Last Monday UK-based Mick Carroll was passing through the town of Market Drayton when he spotted an unusual sight – a man cruising down the canal with the help of a tiny remote-controlled tug boat.

Carroll took a picture of the scene and posted it to Facebook with the caption: “Dont ya just love eccentric’s. Seen this fella as we were passin thru Market Drayton gettin pulled along by a remote control tug. Brilliant.” According to the Facebook post, as the man cruised passed him, he shouted: “Just when you thought you’d seen everything!” Ah. Genius.

Thanks for the item, Andy!.
