Glad you got moved without incident, I can moor sideways now if I want 😁.

Enjoy your new base.

At least it wasn`t you that fell off the boat!

Thanks for the burger and drinks

I missed that, is there a video?

Glad to hear you managed the move this week as hoped.

[floydraser]

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.

Where in Cove are you? We'll stop by to say "hello" when we're down next weekend.

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.

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.

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.

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. :-)

Quite right MM, but I always reckon that advertising your bling is inviting someone to try and relieve you of it. 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.

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!!!
