An evening's cruise up the River Fal

Some photos from last night's trip.

Tickettyboo...

A trip down the river was a nice way to start my day, loved the views -

MCC...

We went *up* the river

Tickettyboo...

I aint got much of a sense of direction on water :-)

Of course we came back down again but by that time I was in the bar having
a nice cup of coffee to warm me up ;-)

thanks Mike.
Are the retired lifeboats sold on, or do they keep them in reserve?

MCC...

Sold on, Boo. That's a real "oldie". The ones being built now are real
"go-faster" jobs. Where that one could maybe manage 8 - 9 knots, downhill
and with a following wind, the new ones are capable of 3 times that speed.

Tickettyboo...

'downhill' ..LOL!

Mind you, I wouldn't like to be on one while it was going that fast in a
really rough sea.

Rabbit...

Ah yes I saw my house again, if Camelot oblige I'll be there :-)
Why do the flags read *FLUSHING* ? Was somebody using the loo ???:-)
Looks like the weather did you well for the trip, I enjoyed that cruise,
thank you Mike.

MCC...

That's the name of the place where the flag pole is situated - just across
the harbour from Falmouth. If you are ever fortunate to visit there be sure

Rabbit...

Ah right thanks, I thought it was on the boat.

and have a meal on the quay in the "Sticky Prawn" - a really good fish
restaurant.

Rabbit...

Well the Eden Project is still on the *to do list* so I'll try to remember
your suggestion.

Aries...

what beautiful scenery Mike, I want to live there LOL You did well to
catch a clear pic of that gull in flight - I don't think my camera would be
up to that :(

John the R-T...

Have you been up all night?
Thanks for sharing.

Anita...

Thank you Mike - some lovely photos, I do like the house - shame it is
so expensive :)

biffo...

Brilliant Mike,
Off to the Halifax now see how I'm fixed for a bob or two ;-)))

~~seadancer~~...

Excellent photos of some beautiful sights. Thank you.
BTW, can you explain the caption with the seagull, (which
read: "He wanted my pasty!") ?
Did you mean "pastry", (or is "pasty" another English
expression which I haven't heard before)?

Thanks for those Mike - brings back memoreies of 1967 - was there during
honeymoon fortnight.

Edward J Milan...

Very good little album, brings back memories of sailing in the South
West in the 80's

£1,500,000 - I could probably manage the caravan, possibley not the
ground rent!

Bill P...

Very good. Looks like some money lives down there.
