There seems to be a lot from up north on here. Is it a co-incidence, or are you cruising mates? Makes a change from Solent dominated fora tho'.
Or have I got it all wrong? Any one out there cruise the N. Wales coast?

No, but we do get a substantial discount when we join.

There is a high proportion of Scots and honorary Scots and many of us have met and cruised in company but we welcome all, as long as they play nicely, even the English.

No.
I would hope that all were welcome in this place.
I've never sailed in your part of the world but I hear it has its' attractions.
I did South Wales last year, Cardiff, Milford Haven and onwards
Very friendly natives, strong tides and good beer
Cheers

second left, front row needs to moisten a reed I think.
Arghiro, watch out, all this pleasantness could be part of a grooming process where we invite unsuspecting foreigners to lonely places.
"Want to come for a run in my boat sonny, and try this bottle?"
April 25th springs to mind. (Nick, do your guardians know what you're doing?)

Thank ye all kindly. I will think on ye a wee while the morrow nicht wi' ma taties, puddin & neeps - aye & a wee dram o' wan o' ma malt collection. Perhaps a good strong Lagavulin, or a honeyed Balvennie - it will all depend on the strength o' ra Haggis.
I have enjoyed a potter around the Clyde & North to Loch Etive, plus a wee daunder around Rhum, Sleat & Plockton in my time. We know not to kill a midge; for a thousand pals will come for his funeral. I have had freshwater pearls out of the River Laxford too, so I am no a stranger to your bonny, but dreich, country.
Actually, I'm a scouser - so it goes.

If it's a square go you're after, we'd better move to scufflebut. This place is too nice to spoil.
