Shot myself in the foot today.

I did not know we had a Pier of the Realm amongst us? I feel deeply honoured.
Roy

Easy one I was born on one of them in the interval of a show one off rare breed to have been born on one of the two offers on which one?

Lucky guess this morning!😀

Been there many times back in the day

Got it on a slightly educated guess. I’ll take it!!

À good morning bunch of young Modelboat builders
Are there no French builders participating ?
Or is the English language still an issue as it was a couple of years ago😂😂😂Do we need a translation for the French and the Swiss who live in the French speaking part of Switserland?

Doug, read the very small print under the 100%. (Country score for the last 30 days.)

got myself a blue peter badge..Get down Shep

Glad it wasn't "Sad Simon ", 😢

Same here PhillipH.
Sudden jump to 100%😮 Very strange.
Must have finally shaken off my earlier sailing ship disasters.
I'll take it 😉

😎

Remember seeing this afloat at one of your regattas Dave.
Great fun😂🤣

😎

Did someone say Gravy Boat?

I was expecting 'gravy boat' but settled for steamer...

Greeting all not sure I fancy mincing up and the lake so settled for steaming 😁🤣

Well I'm glad 😊 I got that right, otherwise I'd have to go to the back of the class 🤣

I seemed to have amazed myself and some how got 100% and I know that I'm not that bright🤣🤣

I over thought this one and went for matchplay. We have regattas but no one races in competition. Looked it up after and see that we will have to re-name our regattas.
I was told when very small not to play with matches!

So what shall we call our non-racing boat meetings?😝

Our Wednesday mornings with our yachts and boats, more of a Coffin Dodgers Club really, will cogitate on this. This could go on for a while as I do not remember many actual decisions ever being made.

Roy

Nice and easy way to start a Friday 👍

Only one I recognised and it was the right answer

Always chuckle when pirate questions come up.. I blame a film from 1983 YellowBeard

I knew the answer before seeing the options! I put it down to a life full of trivia!
Roy

I seem to be doing better these days. Now up to the average score from Belgium 93%!😊😊

Sounded like Italy when you pronounce it.
My score is getting stupidly high! And I am not that bright.
Roy

Must brush up on geography ,tut tut

Got it today…..if I missed this one I’d be run out of the country on a rail🤣

I wonder if our French contingent thanked their security services for their act of state terrorism?

I seem to remember it was for the atomic bomb tests the French insisted on carrying out.
The French eventually apologised and paid $13 for being naughty. One of the secret service operatives was released early as she was pregnant. However they were both 'honoured on returning to France.

Roy

Remembered this from the news, grey cells are fully operational this morning 😀

Nah Roy, that rumour was just a load of compressed gas🙊
😂🤣 😎

Didn't they used to have felluca clinics? I think the footfalls gradually reduced and it's probably a charity shop now. It could be that the government want them off their prescription books so you have to buy your own remedies.

Sometimes I think doctors make these things popular so they can write a paper on them.

I used to get boyles but you do not hear of them now. I think they came to a legal end with Boyles Law

Roy

Terry H. I once had a felluca on my foot. Right sore it was...

I guess I learned something in my 5th grade geography class!🙂

Here's something else new for you Doogle😉
The Gulf of California is in Mexico!
It lies between the Mexican mainland and a long thin peninsular called Baja California (Lower California). At it's southern end it is open to the Pacific.
Swimming off the west coast of Mexico is like having a warm bath☀️☀️😎😊
Hasta luego compañeros de barco.

😎

Got it right. I once read a book by John Steinbeck called "The Log From The Sea of Cortez" so the answer clicked straight away. He wrote a good book did Mr Steinbeck..

Never been to the USA 🇺🇸, so I've learnt something new today 😀

Close but no cigar...I went for San Francisco bay

Got that wrong as was thinking of the nile when was that in the Mediterranean sea had to stop somewhere

I really wasn’t sure on this one. It sounded Greek so I went for the med. Lucky finger strikes again.😃

I think the river Nile and the Red Sea was the correct answer.

I got that wrong as the only Felucca i know is used on the river nile

Yes it does Doug..,,and I trip over patterns in linoleum….🤣

"Pride 😊 goeth before a fall 🤕" eh Doogle & Cash!

😎

Back on firm ground, mustn't rest on one's laurels 😀

Fairly easy today….think we’re getting “set up”🤣🤣🤣

The AI went overboard to be kind to us today😀
Must have read Roy's Laptop Lament 😭 and taken pity.

😎

Nice and easy 😁

Easy one today guys…😁

That was lucky. Almost went for the wrong one. Could not recognise Scott’s first names. Then, thankfully, I remembered that I always knew his first name as ‘Captain’😬😬.

perhaps it was a fast journey in some books

Who's rewriting history here?😉
The ship was first launched one year after the expedition date given in the question!
Typos?
