Personally, I've always found accidents fascinating. Loss of property, or even life, is tragic, but if you can set that aside the chain of events leading to the end result is often worthy of study. There used to be a Flight Safety poster in the RAF - 'Learn from your mistakes, or better still learn from the mistakes of others'

I miss the old boy and his greyhound. OK, only a summer live-aboard, but was to me a perfect example. Kept himself to himself, moved about, didn't leave a mess, and was pleasant to speak to if you took the time ( Ex RAF copper too ..... ! ) What was his name ... ?

You'll see me motor out to mudweight with them down, as single handed it's not possible to bring them in safely. Then up sails, fenders in and play. Reverse on completion of sail

I love Kiwigrip - water based and easily coloured with dye. Goes on with a textured roller

Has anyone raised this matter with Irstead PC ?

S10 - they did get one back which is all that was on my card.

Some things didn't get returned when I left the RAF !

2 SofTT - electric string weaving ?

The day I'm stopped from have A drink on my boat is the day I sell it and leave Norfolk

You think we know ?

Bristows have the SAR Coastguard Contract for the UK

At a slight tangent, one aspect of the proposal is the educational aspect. There are already very local organisations offering similar - I hope they can both co-exist

Took a few attempts this year but only abo £50 in parts

It knows my car failed the MOT and I need to be under it, outside, today :-(

Yes, but then they get overulled by financial consideration vs risk

This year I decided not to toll / use the canoes. Next year it's the dinghy. Approaching the thin edge of the wedge

They used to own parts - not all, and not sure these days either

Condolonces on your loss Re the computer, if she was ROC or similar in the 70's, I wonder if these were issued / used to plot fallout from a nuclear strike ?

Cars look early 70's for sure

Done it half a dozen times now, including at a very choppy Salcombe, and not fallen in yet !

I moor in the boatyard opposite Paddy's Lane. I have a small portable diesel heater, suitably silenced, that I'll sit in the cockpit and duct indoors. There have been evenings where I can hear heaters running quite clearly across the 10m or so of water, but if stood on the river bank across from my mooring orr the other side the channel I can't hear mine ( about 5 m ) Maybe they are ducted straight overboard with no silencers ? That said, I take a more relaxed attitute to noise, and personally say 22:00 on should be subdued

PM me when you are up

Yep - once drove to Norwich shortly after gettting out of a SEPECAT Jaguar - brain was still doing 500 mph
