Boats and Los Cris

Vince if your bored tell us about your boat, Where do you keep it, how often do you get out on it,

Just shown potential buyer it today, he will let me know. No way is it going out in this weather. Wish it was in Tenerife.

He owns The Queen Mary REG. Named it after me.

Is it too small to sail to tenerife ?, sounds like a right adventure to me, Probably worth more in tenerife too, I like boats and harbours and all that stuff, But as soon as i step on one, Thats it, I feel all strange, Well stranger than usual, Hired a canal boat when the kids were young, skipton to blackburn ish, Pissed it down all week, but one of our better holidays,

I have seen much smaller that have done the trip and it would take a while. Possible pirate activity too off Morocco, I have heard tales. And the Marinas charge the Earth, so probably not in this life time.

The boat that was on the beach in christianos a couple of years ago, Was he trying to avoid marina charges, And did you rob anything off it ?

I remember that, big hole in one side. I was too late for any goodies!

comodoro yep thats the

place i meant,good location if you latch on to a nice appartment.

Apartment was on the first floor overlooking the pool and seafront, needed a spot of tlc as I remember, we didn't care, home from home.

Glad you found this guys, sorry I moved it but it had diddly-squat to do with how many Euros you would get for your pound

Was that the Fred Olsen Superfast, HT?

That was 2nd December 2008 when the Fred Olsen ran aground. We were having dinner at the time and wondered what was going on [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Hey Vince, I've put some new boat smileys on so you can play with them and your boat.

lee hoe?

Who remembers that wee yellow Water Taxi that used to go from Los Cris harbour to Puerto Colon? That guy was great, he used to take us out to where the dolphins were for €7! (And that included the trip between the ports).It cost you €41 on Freebird. Maybe that's why he went defunct, or it might have been 'elf & safety 'cos he had nothing in that wee boat in the way of lifejackets or anything but it was brilliant! The draft of the boat was so low you could actually touch the dolphins. Great times them.
