BroadAmbition Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I have a question..... if topping up independence was 2,909 litres at a cost of £2,835, how much would it have been if the tanks were empty !!! Dry tanks - It would take 2405 litres to fill them, give or take the odd ten litres for fuel lines, manifolds, filters etc Griff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meg Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 What a relief, will the next "fred" restart at page 1, the song sung by the Shanty men keeps coming to mind. " Home Home from The Sea". Well done one and all, I hope you all get rested up and the aches subside Griff. Looking forward to the next topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a button on here where you can start any fred you want.. untolled boats, un BSS boats, uninsured boats, boats with no sails, boat with sails, boats with oars. lets leave anything apart from what this fred is about to other ones...

Hockham Admiral Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I don't know about today but pre 2010 we used to arrive back in our mooring at the RNSYC in Lowestoft at any old time day or night. No-one knew if we'd come from Ipswich or Den Helder and certainly very few asked, apart from "Had a good trip?" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stumpy Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I'm afraid the days of the chain of Coast Preventive Men and a Watcher near every pierhead are long gone, but fear not as anti-smuggling activities are now intelligence driven by desk jockeys.
