Sharp Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Still not having this freak wave bollocks for the Irish sea Spoke to Rick Tomlinson once about his experience in the southern ocean aboard a Whitbread 60, his account of sliding down a six story high wave and burying the boat in the "green room" at the bottom killed any romantic notions I may have had about long distance yachting But I doubt that seriously big waves could be generated in our violent but small, shallow sea Wrong the Irish sea is known for being a place for bad weather and freak waves. And at sea we do get some bloody big ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matty Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Was in Blackpool in March for a mates stag do, the locals were saying it had been great for tourism - apparently the garage at Clevelys had doubled it's takings, and the cafe's there had to employ extra staff!

Albert Tatlock Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I saw her leave Heysham for the last time when I was on the Ben - and then she got wrecked on her return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Ayres Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Maybe a wreck or two would improve our tourism, I remember a ship beaching at Brighton years ago, great amusement and loads of sightsee-ers, The 'Athena B' if I remembger correctly. Now then, do we know of any vessels that could fill that space? (Insert pic of any SP craft) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shit3hawk Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Just say when... I like your use of Photoshop and how you have given the subject the Impression of travelling at speed by adding a plume to the stern of the vessel and the bow wave of obviously another faster vessel like a pedalo of some type, Keep up the good work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewIrvine Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I know it's draggingup an old topic, but I need to post something before I can start my own. As far as tourism was concerned in Clevelys, yes it boosted it a bit, but the locals moaned at the amount of litter and chronic parking. 'You can't have a rainbow without rain', as someone in ancient Chinese times once said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monasqueen Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I believe that the last mortal remains have now been removed from Cleveleys beach, so all is now back to "normal". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
