Postby sabik » Fri, 11 Jun 2010 8:39 +0000

This is something run by my local station, its on the second sunday in July and a bit of a laugh! Drop down or enter a raft if your on the east coast. I'm told there's lot of extra thing been put on this year as well... Come along and bring the family or the chosen one from your family if your in your MX..

Thanks lads.

Had a great day at the RNLI awards in the beautiful Royal Hospital Kilmainham.

Some fabulous people got some very well deserved tributes, and the fabulous veteran marine journalist and friend of the sea Tom MacSweeney was presenting, and was himself presented with an award to recognise his years of support for all things Oceanic!

Niamh was great craic as always, and was very complimentary about you lot!

I also got roped into a fundraiser in Skerries next month, which I'm thinking about doing if I can get fit enough. It's an Aquathon - a 750 metre swim & 4km run. I think I can handle the swim, but I haven't got my running legs yet... so I might have to persuade someone to relay with me. Will have to see if my wet-suit still fits!

Anyway here's the pic.... my lovely dad's on my left, and the fabulous Tom on my right. Happy days.

I've heard Tom Mc Sweeney on the radio for years and never knew what he looked like, It's weird when you do eventually find out and it's nothing like you imagine it to be.
Teena, that's one hectic social life you appear to be enjoying lately..fair dues to ya!!

It's just struck me that I should point out that I'm talking about my left 'as you look at the picture'...

ie: My lovely Dad's wearing the black suit! lol
