good title eh,
well, we heard it was something to try and that it went right out to Es Vedra so we thought, go on then......................was't cheap and would ya believe it, you got wet .
nah, seriously tho sounded good.
So we got to Es Vedra and it was fast - granted, we did maybe a dozen waves and turns, then it was decided by the boat geezer to have a chill.
2 mins later he walks up the boat (having had a brief look at his powerful scania engine - arf/arf/arf) and states 'guys , we gotta problem' , everybody laughed and carried on until he said, 'no - really, the fan belt thingy has snapped and we can't risk overheating the engine' the reaction was like this
, then the lobster pots buoys started overtaking us and the cliffs were looking.........................higher [gulp]
'Don't worry' says boat geezer 'I have a mate on his way to tow us home, he's just gotta do a job and he will be on his way'. Relief set in and we waited.........got hungry and thirsty..........and waited..............got rained on...........and waited more, plenty of boats passed us - dashing our hopes of being saved - bear in mind where we are now guys and gals, we see a paraglider on the horizon - something to watch I suppose , but then it reeled in and pulled up along side, THIS was his mate and he - with a boatload of customers, was gonna tow us home. I think it took about an hour and a half just to get towed home, and many jokes were made about the 'Ferrari' of the harbour being towed in by the para-boat .
We had had enough of the whole lark.
no apology
no refund
3 1/2 hours wasted.
an experience
- yes, just not how we planned .
your thoughts welcome
