[The only way is to Zig Zag]

Warp started it on account of a recent visit to the O2 maybe the ticket price will cover this thread

[Anyone know what this is?]

I use marigolds for spider eviction from the boat, picking them up then is not a problem for me.

[Anyone know what this is?]

Is the blur because your hand is shaking?

[Anyone know what this is?]

It's a spider innit?

This time of year they come into open windows, you can hear them trekking across the carpet and argh! they jump.

Wolf spider??? House spider...I wouldn't care to offend it by calling it 'common'.

Hiya Finny,

It all comes down to messing about in boats, why do anything else?

If I won the lottery, I'd have a wherry.... Dream on!

[Another one that doesn't know which way he's going]

No fanatic here, but I find quanting easier than starting an outboard, did I mention that I don't like outboards much?

[so I said to George Lucas...an American archaeologist...really?]

Hi Tim,

Hope Uncle Albert is making progress.

[to all new members]

Enjoying the warm welcome, thanks.

[Another thunder storm tonight on the Broads]

We sailed in a thunderstorm last week, the waterproofs held out well, and recent work with the Sikaflex proved effective too.

The previous night, we were out on Black Horse Broad with the thunder storms rolling round and round. Normally I enjoy them, but we were the tallest thing out in the middle of the broad, which made me reflect....

ELLO POLLY!!!!! Testing! Testing! Testing! Testing! This is your nine o'clock alarm call!

I'll get my coat...

Do not even think of nailing me to the perch!!! :)

[The only way is to Zig Zag]

Ah but the spare outboard caught fire last week....I'd rather paddle thanks.

[The only way is to Zig Zag]

True, I didn't vote to remove it for 3RR and it was a very long paddle from St Benets to Horning... But you can go off outboards...

They get on the tiller of Brilliant, and display surprising amounts of skill!

Hello,

Looking in, I see lots of posters I know already and lots I don't. Part owners of Brilliant, a woody, which is to say, custodians of a bit of Broads History and overseer of hole in bank balance!

Looking at Brilliant's outboard I wonder why.... She didn't have one in 1929....
