I noticed this but decided to say nothing and see if it was noticed, very observant Brian.
Standing 'at station' is obviously part of the training.
They look the same ship we saw, on that basis I am sure the engine noise could have been heard in Florida from California

Back to the original subject...............
To show how sea worthy these Coast Guard Cutters are see here:
-
Sounds like a Wagtail Jonny
-
Aaagh
I have been Antaresed :-D

I would certainly have a look at what is causing this ASAP.
Should the pump fail or Battery flatten you could have a serious issue.
I would check the Stern Gland and skin fittings as first checks.
Hope you get it sorted.
-
Nice find Jonny.
-
I can understand why
-
Rather apt
-
They certainly know how to do a job Properly over there
Oh they do Brian.
None of this political correctness over there you are either 'with us or agin us' it is all very refreshing.
Try as I might I could not get a go on the said ship.

Was she checking out the latest auto pilot specification David, or just reviewing your lift out work schedule

Horning Marine Covers have an excellent reputation

Ian I do not profess to be an software expert but I moved to Firefox around 18 months ago.
It seems more stable and with a few more features than IE.
I for one prefer it
-
Not the Broads but we did come across these guys on our travels.
Boy do these ships have some engines in them, they can be heard from miles away.

I don't know where it is Bruce but what a lovley atmospheric shot.

Absolutely right Paul,
Having Life Jackets is fine but it is more difficult to get back on a boat sodden that most folks (who have not had to try it) will realise.
I won't ask how you got wet

Not heard that one Paul.
Looking at the KL area and the Fens I can't see much that would attract me to 'ditch crawling' this area.
On the way home I go over the Ouse Nene & Welland at anything other than HW staring up at muddy banks does not overly appeal to me. Lower reaches need some very careful Navigation with very strong currents and shifting shoals.

Very comprehensive answer David thank you - I learn more all the time.
Steve - to show how part dissolved anodes look see the ones on my rudder; about half gone.
If you can get to Hoveton in the week Aquafax do a comprehensive range, much cheaper than normal chandlers -another David tip
-
Jonny lift out and Anti Foul courtesy or Goodchilds clean & polish and products courtesy of myself over the last two weekends. All products can be bought from Halfords. If you are able to get to the Broads Mon-Fri Aquafax in Wroxham take some beating for Anodes.
To be fair it only took 1.5 days I could have done with a few extra hours on Saturday pm after the sealer but David dangled a prospect of a pint or to in the Fisherman's
so off I went.Ian & Liz (Palmtree) arrived and by the time I though about polishing again it was dark
-
Kiki has just about finished her short lift out.
Anti Fouled, new Anodes fitted (supervisions and modifications courtesy of David Antares _9) and hull polish.
I am sure there are many product recommendations but here is what I used.
I washed her with Halfords wash wax & shine a handle canister system that allow a Hozlock connector hose to be connected.
Oxidisation and fender scuffs removed with 3M fibreglass restorer and wax.
Two coats of Autoglym Ultra Deep Shine Wax
And a final seal with Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection
Others may have their own favorites but this has worked for me.
See photo of Kiki - spots on Kiki's bow are the reflection of the flash on the polished hull
-
Whey hey - Kiki has has her faulty electric Jabsco Lavvy replaced with shiny silent (ish) one.
SWMBO is pleased with me
-
Zycomm are good at locking me out of the car Nige, its either there or the Police Headquarters but the RAC man reckons one of these 'interferes' with my cars immobiliser as it thinks someone is hacking into it - result I can't get into it
-
Who stole the moorings
so off I went.

There are plenty of 'self righteous' club officials in a certain corner of Horning on regatta days Paul
