Warp Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Hi All, I've been enjoying holidays on the broads since I was a teenager which seems like yesterday but the calendar says otherwise. I prefer taking zig zag routes rather than going straight as that way you get to enjoy more of the river Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracie Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Hi Warp A very warm welcome from me, we are also zig zaggers , been zig zagging from Richardsons for twenty years on and off. A zig zagger and proud lol Grace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxwellian Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I think Warp means that he is a Saily not a Stinkie Gracie. Not that he can't steer straight. The Ant on a Saturday afternoon is full of Stinkies Zig Zagging. Takes a little while to settle back into it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockham Admiral Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Thanks folks Friday girl looks fit to sail into some serious stuff! Yes we used to get the length of tha Channel, both sides, and across the North Sea. We didn't really bother about the weather after we were caught out in a F9 in mid-North Sea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauriceMynah Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 "We didn't really bother about the weather after we were caught out in a F9 in mid-North Sea." Yeah tell me about it, I know what you mean.... I've had some pretty tricky times on Salhouse myself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warp Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 Yup Salhouse can whip up a vicious wind across the moorings even had the 'anchor' drag there once... Had to chuck another one out to save our souls or at least some varnish... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warp Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 I always find that I have to look up to see motor-only types (MOT). Except maybe day boats can look across to those. I do get this odd thing from MOTs like they think I'm 'putting on airs' for choosing sails... I guess SOTs are a bit fanatical so I find myself MOST in the middle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polly Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 No fanatic here, but I find quanting easier than starting an outboard, did I mention that I don't like outboards much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
