The next cruise I am sure we will be better organised, and a better route planned.

Likewise. As others mentioned, having Trick at the front and Jason at the back worked out well as it kept us together. It sucks when everyone get seperated on cruises, and the people at the back have to speed to catch up to the front runners. Thankfully this wasn't the case this time.

I thought it was a great day out but would have been better to cruise the GOR more but all in all great day. Well done to Grimus for HARD WORK in organising the cruise and to Swanny for being the chef (great cook mate). Im sorry to all the guys who followed me on the way home as i was granny driving like usual LOL. Great pics guys and thanks to Alan for taking the time to show his old trick with the camera

Guys, cut the crap.

We dont want your arguments on the forum, it will only lead to alienation of yourselves among everyone else.

If you want to be petty and stupid use MSN, not a public forum please.
