Well the Mayhem has already started

Stav and Steamboatphil couldn't wait to start sailing some boats after setting everything up for the weekend and Hannah was supervising the layout as well making sure everything is ok

Thanks guys

Oh and Stav got wet as well I think he may have started on the beers a bit too soon

Would love to if I was up to a 5 hour drive each way, which I'm not.

Have a good weekend and keep those photos coming

barryfoote · « **Reply #438 on:** August 30, 2008, 06:03:45 pm »

Flip Richard,

I would have a three hour flight and at least a 4 hour drive....Not to mention the cost!!!!

DickyD · « **Reply #439 on:** August 30, 2008, 06:16:09 pm »

5hr drive might not sound much to you Barry but it might just as well be Spain for me.

Hello,

Spent all day at Llanberis, the weather was very kind, nice and warm, the sun even came out a few times too.
Stavros should be awarded a GOLD MEDAL for his efforts, it was terrific !!, loads of smiling faces. lots of boats of all
different sorts, from all out Racers, to "Fun Ships", ALL getting along just fine !!.
Very nice to see different sorts of boats at the same Event, they are usually at specialist ones, not often seen together.
The lake has beautiful clear, clean water, looks clean enough to drink, no "Tide mark" round the edges,- - - just clean.

I was sailing my One Metre boat, the only one which would fit into my "borrowed" car !, but the lake is just fine for
much bigger boats like my Schooner, just wait till next time!.
A VERY enjoyable day, all to soon it was time to come home.
Stavros, put me down for your next one.

A very Happy,
John.

Have a great time everyone at Llanberis. I'd hoped to come but in the end it just couldn't be made to fit in with a work commitment. Please do everything that Stavros says so that it happens again next year :) I'll have retired properly by then and won't have any reason not to be there

Nos da pawb

Llanberis , one of my favourite lakes which we visit once a year for a swimming event , this time it was to visit the Mayhem Llanberis weekend , and although not being able to stay the 2 days had a great time on the Saturday.
There were some clubs, traders a Bring and buy stall and most important a free tea & Coffee table I believe courtesy of Blackheath Model Boat Club, The Company was superb and met some fellow mayhemers I had not previously met , Tiger Tiger , barty230 and SteamboatPhil to name a few and the quys from Omera who put on regular displays on the Main lake (sharks around Stavros in the Rescue Boat).
All in all it Was a great day and one which I hope that will become part of the Season Calendar as for this as a venue I do not think can be beaten. WELL DONE STAVROS and of course his helpers.
