The marina

[huggs]

Here is a view of part of the marina in Port Bannatyne on the Isle of Bute. I'd love to pinch one of the yachts. LOL

that just looks so stunning

[huggs in reply to Hidden]

Pleased you like it eyes. Are you a sailor by any chance? Thinking of getting a crowd to pirate a yacht and we can all sail away. LOL

hugs from Huggs

[Hidden in reply to huggs]

no I will be the one on deck with gin in hand singing shanties

[Suzy6 in reply to Hidden]

Well don't ask me to be cook. I would rather be deck hand!!

[huggs in reply to Suzy6]

OK Suzy, you can be deckhand. I don't know what we will do about cooking though. Somebody will be able to do it. I think I will be the self appointed co-ordinator. LOL

[huggs in reply to Hidden]

Eyes, we will all be on deck singing shanties and having a shindig. Can you cook then?

[Hidden in reply to huggs]

[huggs in reply to Hidden]

That can easily be arranged. LOL

[rockett777]

I'd love to pinch one of those yachts to and sail away. Beautiful place.xxx

[huggs]

Hi rocket,

My sentiments exactly. LOL Do you sail? We could get a whole gang of us to commandeer (pirate!) one of them. LOL Glad you like the pic.

we could do a bonny and Clyde on one or second thoughts we could do a trip AKA One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest

[huggs in reply to Hidden]

Well ant, Puff has just revealed he has a boat, so he could bring you all up here, and then take over the marina. ha ha

hugs from Huggs xxx

[Hidden in reply to huggs]

I would imagine you are a bit too far away from me unless he could down the coast to where I live

[huggs in reply to Hidden]

Puff will be up for that ant, as he will need practice. LOL

hugs from Huggs xxx

sorry for volunteering you Puff!

[Hidden in reply to huggs]

hope he is a good helms man where I live on the coast it had the notoriety of being the shipwreck capital of the Irish sea in days gone by.

[huggs in reply to Hidden]

Oh dear, that doesn't sound too encouraging. You will maybe have to get someone to take you to a more suitable port. Where do you live again?

It'll have the makings of a good farcical comedy if we all manage to get together. LOL

Sunny Southport the tropics of the North West

[huggs in reply to Hidden]

Hi ant,

There is someone else from Southport on this forum, but cannot remember who. Its a lovely place to live I would think.

hugs from Huggs xxx

[Hidden in reply to huggs]

yes it is a beautiful place to live the air is so pure and silly me I forgot about all those beautiful Yacht's on the Mere I am going to Lakeside community center next week to start my PR some one where I live set the toaster on fire last night but after some venting of the corridors and me standing outside for an hour saved me from having to attend A&E these oxiometer;s are the bees knees as they let you know what is going on immediately Just toying with the idea of having a yacht race round the Mere????

[huggs in reply to Hidden]

Hi ant, that must have been a worry for a while, but as you say these oxyometers are great.

Go for the yacht race, and I will watch for you on the telly getting rescued or arrested. LOL

hugs from Huggs

[Hidden in reply to huggs]

know our constabulary probably arrested when I first got my mobility scooter I got a producer and a warning I faced a possible fine the crime if you can call it that was that I did not have my number plate on my scooter and I was not displaying my zero rated free road tax should I say he was not even a proper policeman but one of these community support officers

[huggs in reply to Hidden]

Off with their heads then ant. !!!!! LOL

[Suzy6]

Oh my beautiful. Not quite St. Tropez but almost.

[Louisiana]

Bootiful! (as they would say in Norfolk)

[huggs in reply to Louisiana]

Why don't you hijack a boat from the broads and make your way up here.? Wouldn't that be something. A gathering of the HUer's. Just made that word up. ha ha.

hugs from Huggs xxx

[Louisiana in reply to huggs]

Grrreat idea and I never get seasick....love the word too

[Hidden]

Hi Huggs the big boat is mine, I park it , sorry dock it there when I'm off visiting my 3rd home in the Maldives . Lol x Sonia x

[huggs in reply to Hidden]

OK Sonia, would you like me to look after it for you, while you are away gallivanting all over the world. LOL Puff has got a boat so I think he should bring you all here for a party. Wouldn't that be great.

have a good sleep,

hugs from Huggs xxx

[Hidden in reply to huggs]

Wow party/shindig at Huggs I'm up for that, I'll just wait for puff to come pick me up, well grab wendells and anyone else whose coming lol. X Sonia x : )

[huggs in reply to Hidden]

Right Sonia, but remember Wendells is in Austrailia, so she will need plenty of warning, and she has volunteered to do the cooking, so she is needed, and it wouldn't be the same without her anyway. I wonder is she has a passport? lol

[Puffthemagicdragon]

I got my own boat, so there !

[huggs in reply to Puffthemagicdragon]

hhummph oh well then smartie pants, why don't you just grab a few of the folks who have been following my pics, and sail here with them. We can have a good old shindig, and there is space for you in the marina. Is it a yacht or boat you have Puff?

hugs from Huggs xxx

[Puffthemagicdragon in reply to huggs]

It's a boat. An Eastwood 24. Needs tidying.

I was lucky. I thought it would be nice to take my daughters and son on the Broads when they visit but hire boats are over £1000 per week so i thought I'd try and save and buy a boat. I only work part time so thought it would take ages to get enough together. I saw a Birchwood 22 for sale for £4,700. During the next 8 months the price kept dropping and in the end I got it for £1400 !! Then I saw the Eastwood on Ebay and as it was local I cheekily wanted to have a nose around to get ideas for the Birchwood. The lady said I could have it for £3000 so I borrowed the money off one of my daughters and said I'd pay any difference off when I sold the Birchwood. In the end I sold the Birchwood for £3000 !!

[huggs in reply to Puffthemagicdragon]

Wow, Puff that's what I call keeping your head above water. LOL Good negotiating skills. Hope you have lots of happy times in her.

hugs from Huggs xxxx

[Puffthemagicdragon in reply to huggs]

Thanks. I'll get it tidied up then perhaps some of you may like to take a break and spend a few days on the Broads.

[huggs in reply to Puffthemagicdragon]

That sounds fantastic, and thank you. Don't know if I'd be able this year, and you will have your family to take around. If only, or you could come up here, and Wendells is coming form Oz, and everyone else from all over. Wouldn't it be great if some day some of us could all get together for a few days somewhere?

hugs from Huggs xxxx

[Puffthemagicdragon in reply to huggs]

No reason why we shouldn't have one big meeting !

[huggs in reply to Puffthemagicdragon]

Yea, it would be good. The only problem would be mobility and things. Maybe next year in early summer or Easter. Lets keep it mind anyhow.

[Hidden]

Hi,I'll sign on as cook,love cooking! You won't be hungry! xxx

hugs from Huggs xxx

[James48]

Joyriding sounds good Huggs

[huggs in reply to James48]

Well, you will need to play your part too, but Puff will teach us, and we can sing shanties as someone has already suggested. LOL If only .........

hugs from Huggs xxx

[qbjb]

Ok - I'll brush up on my navigation! Happy to steer but only if it's a wheel - I tend to pull tillers the wrong way with hilarious results

Xxxx

[huggs in reply to qbjb]

Okay, you are all hired! 3 Cheers for the motley crew. Puff has a boat so he will have to organise it all. He can teach us all, and I will buy everyone sailors or captains hats from ebay or amazon. LOL

hugs from Huggs xx

[Puffthemagicdragon in reply to huggs]

To be honest, I'm still a newbie at it !

[huggs in reply to Puffthemagicdragon]

Now he tells us!!!! LOL You can learn then Puff, and once you have done that, you can teach us. You never know, we might make the news headlines, " Health Nutters lost at sea, BLF disclaiming all responsibility, but are concerned." ha ha.

[Hidden]

well in Southport we are lucky just a bit further inland is the Leeds Liverpool canal and they have a huge marina

[Hidden]

not sure who started this blog of but it is just as good as Photo Sunday was and it seems to be turning into the that film "One flew over the cuckoos nest"

[huggs in reply to Hidden]

Was it me with the photo of the marina, or was it the person who responded first. It has taken a life of its own somehow. LOL

Yea, the lunatics taking over the asylum you mean, or am I getting mixed up. I mean no offence when I say that, it is just because it is the words linked to a film.

hugs from Huggs xxxx

[Hidden in reply to huggs]

yes it was when the lunatics took over the asylum with Jack Nicholson as the patient who ended up having a lobotomy and his Indian friend doing the right thing by him I just loved that music when big chief sh***** bull threw that thing through the window and escaped, think we had better watch out if we are planning a similar day out fishing they all ended up getting ECT in the end and as for nurse Rachet she had a figure and hair do to die for LOL. When doing that film the actors did not know in the end when filming was taking place or not, the scene was a real hospital and the doctors were the actual doctors who worked at the hospital still have the movie on tape and bluray disc I prefer the bluray as it tells you a lot about making the movie the characters in it even down to the attendants who were from the asylum as well.

[huggs]

Glad you enjoyed it so much ant. Take care,
