I won't tell you about the boat I was on, off the north coast of Iceland then. (that's the Iceland next door to Greenland, not the one in the High Street). 
Off on holiday anywhere nice this year?

Taking the bikes down to Biarritz for a fortnight on a campsite. Looks like good surfing and not far from the Pyrenees, so have decided it'll be the MTBs. Might throw the wife and kids in as well.

Camping Biarritz way is great, the surfing is usually pretty good in the summer too, reasonably managable for the kids.
damn you, Noodley, you are a lucky man.Noodley said:Going up to the far North of Scotland for a week to the most fabulous holiday house EVER. Sited on the headland. Here's a pic from our visit last year; not a bad view
Even better with a chilled glass of white, after a few miles cycling on far North hilly roads
And the week before, Mrs Noodley and I are heading off for a couple of days away without the kids for a bit of relaxation and doing nothing.
Trying to persuade the Babe that the bistro culture on Uist and Lewis makes a cycle tour an absolute neccessity.

Best not to be too specific with dates eh? I don't know where you live but I'd advise a little caution.

You can rob my place while I am away Pie Master, my bike will be at work and I have a 42 inch Sony Trinitron beast of a TV that I want out but cant lift the bloody thing had 6 months of osteopathy/physio appointments from carrying it with 2 other guys last time I moved.
The wife wants us to wait till it breaks before getting a bigger flat screen!

42" - with you there. I refused to decorate for as long s I could get away with it on the basis that I couldn't shift the 36" TV to paper behind it.
Bought a flat screen now though so the excuses ran out.

I think we were supposed to be whale watching. The sea was very rough, and then got rougher and rougher. The boat (about forty foot long, IIRC), yawed and pitched and rolled mightily. We were all in survival suits, just in case we fell in the sea. I was on deck, holding tightly to the railings, and at one point I felt as if I was going to fall out of the boat, it must have been at a 45 degree angle or less (?) to the sea, or certainly felt like it.
When we got back to port, they decided it was too rough to let any more boats out. I think I saw half a tailfin, of whatever it was we were supposed to see.

We (GF, junior and me) are taking the coach to the northern tip of Denmark and then cycling back to Holland along the coast over four weeks.
