Punt of Fools

[yrieithydd]

As some of you know, I am involved with the bulletin boards at Ship of Fools. Well, we'd decided to have our 5th Annual Punt of Fools meet today!

Great plan! When we meet at one, it was sopping, so we adjourned to the grad pad, but then it brightened up so we decided to risk it. It started raining just after we started and finished just as we returned to moor! I'm drenched! mr_ricarno abandoned ship halfway (at Magdalene) and nearly put the punter overboard!

Why didn't you hide under a bridge?

(btw your links need attention)

We did briefly, but it was going on, and the current kept sweeping us out again, so I decided I was wet anywya and just carried on!

(AAh I missed the http:// out so LJ thought they were internal!)

I see. A good troll would have stayed under the bridge :D.

Which just proves I'm not a troll!

Sorry. It wasn't deliberate. I think it's just that I carry a fair amount of weight and suddenly stepping our of the punt probably brought is a couple of inches higher out of the water...

Twas a good, fun afternoon anyway.

I didn't think it was! It was more that you caused the punt to tilt quite spectacularly at one point (on the first attempt) and I was thrown off balance. I really thought I was going in but somehow stopped myself.
