      Thank god indeed, can't imagine the disappointment of heading there for it to cancelled. All for the right reasons of course, conditions looked atrocious.

        Part of what would have pissed me off, is that it was not cancelled. Running for 2 laps behind the safety car was deemed enough for a result to be given and points to be awarded.  A cynical use of the rules IMHO.

          Glad the fam enjoyed the motogp race @gc. I think it is currently the best motorsport show available.

          The journey is the objective.

            Cheers @motojobobo I could not agree more. The TV coverage and action at the Red Bull Ring in Austria last week had me in knots. What a race!

                  Out for a kayak with @Madame Buttonfly in the glorious late summer sun.  Here are some of the old naval piers, jetties and weapons-loading platforms close to us.  I seem to have a taste for things evo'd…..

                  Bonus shot including Paula (not something with a lot of evo, before someone asks)…..

                              @Giles What did you do to your neck?  Old injury or just gremlins popping up with wear and tear?

                              I was wondering why you hadn't posted any swimming updates for a while…

                              Edit:  I love the pictures of the old piers and wrecks…Are there a few in the area that you dive around?

                                I don't dive in UK.  I'm not a dry-suit diver  😃 😃

                                Re: My neck.  I was starting to get a lot of pain in my neck after a swim.  I had an MRI and we found out that 2 sets of 2 of my cervical vertebrae were fused together, so I effectively only have 5, not 7 cervical vertebrae. This reduces the range of motion I have in my neck.  Swimming, cycling with low handlebars or anything that makes me need to extend my neck is very tricky for me.  Even diving causes issues, but to look forward, I can just rotate around my waist and minimise stretching the neck.  The surgeon said the only thing they could do to fix it was spinal surgery, which got a hard no from me  🙂 🙂

                                I was born like this, it is a genetic deformity, and is the same genetic screw-up that resulted in my pinkies needing to be amputated….

                                  Can’t say that I would rush out for that surgery either.

                                  I didn’t realize that the water was that cold there.  Is wreck diving very popular in Gosport/Portsmouth?

                                        Seriously, there is wreck diving available, but viz is a thing.  @Alex tell Dennis how shit the viz is down there…..

                                        Conversation between me and Alex about 8 years ago when he was a commercial diver around here, and I was in the Maldives.

                                        G - I saw Manta today
                                        A - I got hit in the head by fish, I think it was a Mullet, but I could not see it

                                            Thank you. Just popped out with @Madame Buttonfly again.  Weather is too good not to at the moment.

                                            This is the Portsmouth Upper Harbour Ammunition Facility.  Munitions are towed on barges from Defence Munitions Gosport, upstream of here and loaded by crane onto this structure (which is completely self-supporting, generating its own electricity etc.), then the munitions are loaded onto warships as and when needed.  It's in the middle of the harbour, so if it goes bang, Gosport and Portsmouth will come off pretty unscathed….
