A day out on Bob's new boat. Bob is one of Stuart's work colleagues but, as well as that, a great bloke. The boat is moored in North Wales and Bob took us on a day trip around Anglesey and down (or was it up) the Menia Strait. All in all, a fabulous day and a great experience
This is Bob checking out the rigging before we set off. Darryl's just managed to get into shot
Stuart takes the helm
Darryl, meanwhile, just kept his eye on where we were going
Bob took over the difficult bits. And looked quite the part
And left Stuart to do the easy bits
While Darryl watched from a safe distance
The sea was fairly calm - though choppy enough for two unseasoned sailors such as us
Puffin Sound lighthouse - complete with bell that tolls every few minutes
Lunch under the Menai Bridge - and unusually it was the Captain on this trip that was the cook
And so we headed home and Bob took over the helm as the river mouth is quite narrow for navigation
