    Yes , as said chuck it out , but before doing so check it is tied to the rope and ensure your feet are clear of the rope too , also try and make sure you are moored facing into the wind 

    and make sure the other end is tied to the boat...

  2. I've got the R171 SLK55 AMG and it's a properly fun car.  5.5 litre V8 - loud and goes like stink.  Much recommended.  The R171 AMG seems to be preferred to the R172 AMG as far as driving is concerned, but there are fewer gadgets.  

    Good driver's car - Southampton and back over the past couple of days in its averaged nearly 30mpg.  Push it hard and it will return single figures mpg.

    It's a bit of a handful in the damp though.  So much oomph.

  3. I thought the ref managed the game well.  He allowed the rugby to flow - something which some others do not.  As a player and a spectator, it can be so frustrating when every little thing is picked up on by an overly officious ref.   

    Great match today.

     

  4. Plenty of non-floating pontoon moorings, fine with springs.  Not an issue.

    Brundall Gardens is quite good.  No pump out as far as I can remember (it's been 2 or 3 years since we were there).  

    It also depends what type of boating you do; if you want to have a blast across Breydon or go to sea frequently, the Reedham is probably the best location although limited facilities, or Oulton Broad/other side of Mutford lock.  Lowestoft Haven is very nice, but you can't get into the Broads except by Mutford.

  5. There's some great stuff called Vuplex available in spray tins.  It is a plastics finishing product; there is some citrus and some silicone, along with a number of other bits.  As it is a finishing spray, don't put it on anything which you want a sticker to stick to - it won't.  It fills micro-scratches and makes a huge different visually.

     

    Just to mention again: "don't put it on anything which you want a sticker to stick to - it won't".  Not that I'm advocating preparedness or anything.... :)

  6. That's horrible Ray, and is unfortunately not unheard of.  The best thing I can say to myself when it happens is "there's a***h***s everywhere, and they are not going to ruin my day."

    That said, a good dose of stinky diesel exhaust fumes in their direction goes a long way to making me feel better.

  7. A few different ways to do it.  

    Brooms tend to have electrically operated hydraulics on their radar arches, so you just flick a switch for both up and down.  Handy with radomes, antennae, lights, GPS, radar reflectors etc etc as the weight adds up.  Just remember the canopy first...

    BTW you don't get cooked by radar if you have a nice 3G/4G system as opposed to pulse magnetron.
