Thanks Q I’m going to take PastorsDayOff up on his kind offer and maybe do the Hunters thing too as a start. By next year I’ll be a confirmed rag and stick sailor or hate all sailors [emoji57]
I think it’s ok to have one forward facing white light and one rear facing as well as the red and green ones. That’s what I have with no issue with night vision
I think that’s a very fair point. If they can’t hire them out why would they build them? Speculation is all well and good but the yards know exactly what’s popular and what sits in the yard for most of the year. It would be interesting to see how sales are split too.
That’s a very kind offer thank you. I may well take you up on that. Next time I get a few days down here I’ll give you a shout if that’s ok? I’m not sure when that will be, people are expecting me to do work. Very inconsiderate.
Fascinating project Grendel. Are you tracking the hours you put into it? I know it’s not about that but I suspect it will be a scary number. What are your plans for the finished model?
I sailed once a long time ago. I think I might try one of the Hunter’s two hour skippered trips to see if I’m tempted. The article seems to be about getting ex sailers back rather than introducing new sailors.
I saw that a couple of weeks ago. For a few years now I’ve been at the top end of overweight and meaning to do something about it (and failing to do so). But the BBC calculation says I’m average in the UK so we’re all good. Bring out the bacon [emoji57]
The shop used to be run by the same people who had a printing / embroidery business. The printing / embroidery business is now in Stalham I believe. No idea if they’re still doing them though.
Have to disagree there. Waze is better. Based on Google maps and owned by Google but with better functionality. Ironically Garmin and TomTom etc are now selling digital mapping to car manufacturers and Google and Apple.
Quite a few people have mentioned moorings.
Do you prefer big multi boat moorings or would you rather have more smaller moorings? Maybe one or two boats only.
Tapatalk didn’t seem to like the update. It claimed my account wasn’t active (I always expect that to happen [emoji57]). A restart of Tapatalk fixed it for me.
