floydraser Posted March 23 Author Share Posted March 23 Phew! The plan was to move today at slack water 11.40 to 13.40. It's 10.00 and never mind the water, it's blowing a hooley! Nearly. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisdobson45 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Where in Cove are you? We'll stop by to say "hello" when we're down next weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who chooses the codes for What3words? There are some good ones for the location of my boat but my favourite is: ///robot.stupidly.knitted Reminds me of the term: a camel is a horse designed by a committee. I don't think we'll be down next weekend unless we get the heatwave someone was dreaming about a few weeks ago. We are delivering one of the grandchildren to Okehampton in the week so it may a bit much after we get home on Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisdobson45 Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Ah, we are ///salary.circles.myth, we’ll keep an eye out for you, we should be down most weekends and for most of the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YnysMon Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Talk about appropriate What3words.I’ve just looked up my current position on our mooring in Horning, and it came up with perch.senior.alongside. Quite apt. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauriceMynah Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Just a word of warning from Paranoid Percy. Wondering if it's wise, for private boaters to give out their "What3words" on open forum. Just a thought, and sorry if I've just made work for the mods. :-) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best to have nothing on board worth nicking like outboards or navigation gear which I understand is what most minor thieves go for. Besides, there are security measures in place. I remember when I was driving an artic, how easy it was to see the amount of people with big, expensive TVs on show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshman Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Methinks you might just being a little paranoid about advertising where you boat is with "what 3words". All marinas positions are well known as indeed are the brokerages - NYA alone, have on Page 1 of their adverts have, in total, enough boats in value alone to make even a dent in the National Debt! So on balance I cannot see it making much difference unless you openly admit to using gold bars as ballast!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
