We are junk trip virgins no longer.
The junk trip season begins when the weather is (supposedly)
more summery and we were lucky enough to get an invite along to one early
doors.
The concept is very simple. An organiser gets together a
bunch of people, between perhaps 20 and 40, to celebrate some occasion or
other. This group shares the cost of hiring a boat with crew for the day.
This group and boards the boat late morning, which chugs
merrily to a pretty spot where the water is swimmable and a beach is within striking
distance. The group will frolic about in the water and mess about on the boat,
until the boat tips them back on shore 6 hours later.
And oh yes, did I mention you get free-flowing booze, a massive
meal and constant snacks?
We will be going on quite a few of these – this trip was as
good as that advert sounds! I’ll try in future to just pick out something
unique about each trip now that you all know how they work.
This is our group, gathered around Katherine whose ‘leaving
junk’ we were on, posing with a decorated engineering achievement complete with
moat. The lady in the foreground was the source of food and boozy goodness all
day…when she wasn’t offering us trays of chicken, beef, crisps or tacos, she
was contriving to ensure that every cup never emptied. Even better, when we
were in the water, she decanted everyone’s drinks of choice into plastic
bottles and variously burled them into the sea on order, or ferried buckets of
booze to the beach in a little motor boat.
Sore heads today, much? Hmmmm.
