yet more from saturday,

The heart of the beast of Llanberis.

I allowed a Slovakian guy take the helm of Espirit D'Atlantique, with her batteries shoved RIGHT AT THE REAR of the boat, she planed nicely.

The night sail, a time of barbeques, beer and boats, though for the most of it I had taken my socks off, yes I will come clean, I shimmied out onto the arm of the dock to free Yamato after another person at the helm wrapped the props up, in doing so, I fell in, this made Stavros feel OH SO HAPPY, he almost fell backwards out of his chair, and guess what, young at 65 found it quite funny too. never mind, its only water.

Youngat65, come back, you're missed on the forum!

During the time of the barbeque, Andy N's old trainer plane was attempted to be destroyed by springers, result the plane did severe damage to Chingdevil's springer, however the tail got spiked by the Najade.

cut to sunday. :)

yet more mayhem!

the lake was like a millpond, though when we got there, all that changed.

I had put a new motor on the Celestia, and gave it a run, nice low revving motor of mustang mark. now I need to up the power as according to Stavros, Celestia is now underpowered. not to worry as she will get 9,6v soon.

My first but definitely not my last Mayhem weekend! What a fabulous time, the atmosphere, the models, the weather,
Thanks to EVERYONE who helped put on this great event.
Thanks too, to everyone who came off the water to allow us "noisy nutters" to have a play. I know we ruined the tranquility, but we hope you enjoyed 'our bit of fun' - we certainly did

Evening all!

Terrible weekend, rained all day both days, no one turned up, everyone was in a bad mood, the boats that
did turn up were rubbish, there was a plague of frogs and the water turned to blood just before an earthquake
emptied the lake...... no, wait a minute, that was the nightmare on Friday night!

WHAT A GREAT WEEKEND!!!!!

I'm r e a r l l y tired now but just a quick 'thank you's' to the:
Wicksteed Park management,
Wicksteed park MBC and in particular Martin & Nigel, very, very helpful,
Bradders for all the prompting, nagging, support AND fixing up the trailer,
SteamboatPhil.... for bringing most the event with him on the roof of his mota.... including Andy,
(We need to find a way of bottling Phil as a panacea for any form of depression!)
Chingdevil, the Bishop, Stavros and Welsh Druid for their constant support, advice and encouragement,
Andy for adolescent positivity, 2nd to none,
PD for providing the extra boot space and hand for the marquee,
Ron or Deans Marine,
John of Model Power,
Dave, Action man,
Jag or Palaform,

and ALL Mayhemers that came, sailed a boat or even just shook my hand.

Loads more pictures tomorrow .... but I need time to sort them out first .... I did take 3,015 ....plus 73 video clips!

Night night!

Oh and Ghosty!

Hello All,

After 3 years I finally got to Wickstead !!, what a wonderful Event, all over all too soon, I had to leave on Saturday evening.
Got home shattered, with a very red face from the Sun, I think we had some "Global Warming" - - not before time!.

My Thanks to Martin and everybody else who helped set the Event up.
There is a short Video of what was going on at my website www.john-dowd.co.uk

John.

I would just like to say what a fantastic day I had on Saturday and also how proud I am to be one of the Mayhemers. I am sure the rest of the Mayhemers would agree with me that it takes a special kind of person, to produce such a happy weekend for so many. So I would just like to say A VERY BIG THANKYOU TO MARTIN FOR ALL OF HIS TIME AND HARD WORK HE PUTS INTO THIS WEBSITE AND FORUM AND HE SHOULD ALSO BE PROUD OF HIS DEDICATED AND LOVING FAMILY THAT HE HAS. MRS MAYHEM AND THE REST OF THE FAMILY IN MY HEART DESERVE FIRST PRIZE FOR THEIR DEDICATION. IT IS GREAT IN THIS DAY AND AGE TO SEE SUCH A LOVING FAMILY PULLING TOGETHER AND WORKING AS A TEAM. I FEEL THAT THEIR LOVE AND DEDICATION FEEDS ON TO THE REST OF US. THIS IS WHY THERE WAS SUCH A FEEL GOOD FACTOR THIS WEEKEND.
I just can't wait until the next Mayhem weekend in Wales (home of the Stav). Thankyou to Phil, Stav, Brian and the rest of us who had the barbeque on Saturday night for your kind hospitality. Next year I am definately camping and doing two days no I correct myself I am going to take the Friday off and help set up.
To all of you Mayhemers out there have a fantastic Bank Holiday Monday.

This is Debbie the other half of DEBSSNAL, look forward to meeting you all next year at Wicksteed 2010, there is no way I am going to miss it.

it looks and sounds so much fun. There is no way I am letting Alan have it all to himself.

Thankyou
Kind regards
Debbie and Alan
