This would appear to be our first lakesailor although the rules are a bit complex for me.

I do believe the fat controller has indeed LakeSailored you.

I of course not only did not spot your initial observation, I also failed to act on it.

Interesting. I would have said it was you who lakesailored me with the lakesailoring being the act of thanking the second reply. Perhaps we should ask the man himself?

I forgot the rules.

I don't think Lakey has ever come to play over here.

Looks like we're both right, at least partially, according to these extracts from The Rules.

Rule 4 : Lakesailoring - introduction
b) “Lakesailoringâ€Â

Perhaps less might be more in some cases?
Do you have a picture with at least ONE person smiling? That lot look REALLY unhappy & scared - and it's almost flat calm - there aren't even any sails up! Probably a bit cold, but what the heck, that's a fairly good summer's day on the west Coast innit?

Well thanks for a constructive comment . . .

Silkie already commented on this particular picture and as a result it is no longer in the Gallery, so I am not entirely sure why you felt the need to comment on it.

I can assure you that all these people are in fact having fun - it is just a lousy photograph, which is why it is no longer visible anywhere other than in this post. Why you felt the need to reproduce it a second time is a mystery.

I find your assertion that all those people are having fun both comforting and hard to believe..
