    So, 3 (and a half) bells in the forenoon watch is the time to be there.

    Looked to me like your man in the crows nest was left behind in the dinghy last week.

    Good sailing to you blackhearts

    It be set fair for Sunday, so we can leave the sou'westers and oilskins at home and the Captain shouldn't need a bilge pump for his wheels1

    Hope to be there me hearties

    6 out for some sunny sailing today, nobody keelhauled or dumped in the dingy and set adrift. Out with the breeze around Duxford, rode amongst the London - Cambridge riders for a while and back via Barrington Hill and against a stiffening breeze, good time had by all, self, Richard M, Vic, Nick, and two relativly new members - James & Mo. 40 miles @ 17.5. Looking forward to the better weather as promised by the forcasters, more fun next week aboard the Black Pig @ 9.30.

    Suprised to see the Captain dressed as a landlubber at the dock at 9-30 - he muttered somthing about not riding because he was celebrating his 70th - he doesn't look a day over 60 to me!

    Nice ride Andy, 60 miles at 17.5 for me with the ride over and back to Gamlingay.

    New members to be named after location of birth

    "New members to be named after location of birth"??
    I hope you mean Berth Cap'n :-)
    If not then there are some serious questions you need to answer concerning your rides and riders!!!
  • Captain PugwashCaptain Pugwash
    Is that you Master Bates ?
    I thought I heard your voice.

    Must be the wind
    Bear south for fairer waters me hearties

    i recall in the very early days when Bob and I started the club we had a certain rider from the Lantern Rouge(a select and only by invitation cycling club) who started to try and nickname people.....We had to explain to him that we didn't do that in ours as we had stopped reading the beano ..... crew mates on your listing vessel are free to accept any name you choose if that is their wish...happy sailing cap'n

    Those who do not like the ship's company
    should stay off the ship

    especially the hypocrites that started it

    In retrospect i think that there may be a truth in there James....can't recall back when but I may have joined and expanded one of your earlier blogs ...If guilty let me be the first to apologise....Enjoy your next voyage James.....

    Must be a redcoat !
    The plank for him and may the sharks take their pleasure
