wombat nee blownup Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 The ice in St. Olaves marina is also still 2 to 3 inches thick but seems a lot softer and easier to break now. We were thinking of tying an old wreck to the bow of one of our little flotilla heading for Surlingham ferry NYE. Luckily it looks like someone has abandoned a tub called Le Grand Cru, we'll use that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbird Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Hi Adam I hope to get down to the marina reasonably early (about 9:30) tomorrow to try to thaw out Serenity a bit. I'll come and give you a look to see if you need any help if you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombat nee blownup Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 It was lovely seeing Adam skipping along the pontoon this morning singing "supercallyfragilisic" etc etc he must have thoroughly enjoyed his dvd last night. Anyhoo it looks like the Coldham Hall clan can now rest easy as the master is there with the tickets, but perhaps it wont be looked upon as a " pipe and slippers " any more because the mighty NERAIDA forged a passage through with the help of the WHOOMPERS from Quo Vadis,Blownaway,Laura Jane and NOT LE Grand Chew.!!!! Mark now being the foremost authority on Whoomping was there to watch and learn and also jumped ship before crossing said palms with silver. Hope all manages to get to their destinations this nye and makes the most of it. Are we right in assuming reedham bridge will open new years day?

wombat nee blownup Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I was actually referring to the third picture posted by Diesel Fallout. Do you think his ancesters used to compare muskrats for a living? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbird Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I have to say, whilst mildly satisfying for the first 30 seconds, an hour of Whoomping with an 18kg mudweight is probably an experience I shall not repeat in a hurry. Mainly due to not being able to stand straight this morning! Many thanks to the seasoned whoompers aboard neraida, and their valiant skipper for trailblazing a way through the pack ice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
