Commuters are generally thought of as travelling by road or rail. Here a lot of commuting is done on water with different problems.
Earlier I was watching the Fuinary fish farm boat coming in and they went straight up the Sound and in the northeast entrance to the bay.
Yesterday they headed for the Diorlinn which is the southern entrance and dries at least partially at LW. From my window I could see disaster looming as the tide was rising but the passage still quite shallow. I have often gone through there with various boats and know it pretty well.
Must have been a new helmsman as he kept going albeit at reduced speed before coming to a halt just on the inside. Oh dear, either a clipped prop or weed clogging up the system big time. Took them ages to get going again tho'I could not see the exact reason for the stoppage.
Knuckles rapped I think so no chances taken today.
High winds can also make the passage "interesting". Not your average commute.
The Sound can get pretty rough and when son no2 was a commercial diver he once said the 48ft dive boat he was on was taking it green over the bow as they were on an SAR mission looking for a missing fishing boat in the Sound.

Really? Someone in there gave me a really good tip about inflating tyres containing sealant. Tried it this morning with great success and was going to thank him.I see the tubes vs tubeless thread has now been shut down. Usual nobbers just can't help themselves and spoil what could have been an interesting and helpful thread.
As an aside a buddy running tubeless tyres and wheels but with a tube in punctured today. Took 45 minutes to get this fixed. Feckin' nightmare.

Well. What a wonderful ride to Delamere Forest and a good cafe stop. We had wonderful country lanes, superb cycle paths through Runcorn, heavy traffic in places and I jumped on to the Leeds Liverpool towpath for the last 15 miles.
Knocked out 100.37 miles today and I'm very, very pleased with this. I could have done more which is doubly pleasing.

I've just skimmed through the tubeless thread. Where do these dickheads come from? Perhaps they could just go home?

My Ribble came with Mavic Ksyriums with Mavics own tyre which I wanted to swap for Rubinos and I was beat to get the Mavics off. No way if they had been fitted as tubeless I could have removed them on the road. Some of the tubeless rim/tyre combinations are horrendously tight.
It’s getting to be a waste of time bothering with some of the other sections in here as it always seems to end up as a game of one upmanship and those that always have to have the last word.

Dave7, Please for your own sake STOP digging. That hole is very deep already. Carry on and there will be no one prepared to pass a ladder down to you.
