Hi Mike,
Only drink beer for medicinal purposes
Not in any sort of boat/yacht club.
Know the North Wales coast pretty well, Conwy and Deganwy are nice, Beaumaris a bit awkward, but they keep threatening to build a marina there one day.
Liverpool OK, constrained by the looks, 3 hrs either side of HW, but the berth price is reasonable (compared to Conwy etc), but no problems there.
I'll try to remember to drop you a line soon, home in 3 weeks time, then its a big electrics upgrade project on the boat to get completed
Cheers
Nigel
