Hot & Cold, drunken, sea sick and wet!

[mikepg]

Just got back from Ardrossan after a weekend of fun and frolicks on the sea! - it was hot to start with, then HUGE winds in the middle of the Clyde, peshed down at Lamlash, got boarded by HM Customs and Excise (looking for stow away kids I think!!), got sea sick for the first time in my life, lost the radio mast (so muggins had to go up a 45ft mast to lash the cables away (shat myself when the boat rocked!).

The new restaurant/bistro (cuccini's) at the harbour is worth a visit by the way).

And.......can anyone name the submarine??

All in all - not a bad way to spend a weekend though.

Wow - you telling me that the lost sub has now been found??? - (tell you what, it was a feckin HUGE thing and went like the clappers!!)

Yes Ronno - Arthur is a great name for a fast nuclear attack sub!

Tartan Terror - yes it is nice, but really it's just a floating 'posh' caravan!

Picture of me up the mast - spot the vomit.

Mike - your a brave man climbing up that mast

And.......can anyone name the submarine??

I reckon it might be either 'Bruinvis' or "Zeeleeuw"

30 years ago my job was photographing submarines (amongst other things)

Skye - I thin kit was flying a US Navy flag - about 1/2 before a US Cruiser sailed out too. I thin kthey must be going up North to blow the smitherines out of a rock or something.

Looks like a trawler's-eye view of a surfacing sub??

I'd guess at an Oberon class ??

It also had 'wings' on the tower bit and fins at the rear.....

Maybe it was the "USS Pantyliner"?

Pretty sure its a Dutch 'Walrus' class submarine such as the "Bruinvis" They regularly use Faslane as far as I know.

Spot on Skye - I thought the flag was either Dutch or US (ps - you use the bosun's chair on the electric winch to get up - sore on the bollarks though!)

GArf - you get to keep Wully's nuke in your shed in Dalkeith

YOU WIN the next sail on the Beneteau 46 as soon as I can get the puke off the decks!

We used to take the photos of the subs from one of the MOD Police launches.

We had a competition to see who could get the closest to an approaching sub, I won Mind you the Police coxwain got a bollocking afterwards

I reckon you are right with an Oberon Class
