  1. I'm reasonably certain that the "Riviera Book of Seamanship" starts with: 1/. Always pass in front of other boats. To go behind them would show weakness and betray the Riviera Creed. The End

  2. Apologies, I should have been clearer with my statement. It was sarcasm. Yes, I know, the lowest form of wit. My other option was to call him a completely ignorant twat, so I decided on the sarcasm route. Further to the actual topic, this note from Noonsite: https://www.noonsite.com/news/solomon-islands-yachtsmen-detained-for-alleged-illegal-entry-into-solomon-borders/ Seems to me that entitled yachties are trying their best to ruin the entire cruising world, not just NZ.

  3. I always hold one hand up , five fingers well spread when they come too close .....always get a wave a back ....then a look of befuddlement when I leave my motionless hand up as they go past at speed . I reckon I might make a set large of flash cards with sarcastic one liners on them , would be handy in the car too .

  6. I had to do a lot of plumbing for my land based inside out boat with PVC pressure pipe. I was shocked at the cost of fittings etc. So I looked on trademe and now use this business to supply all my fittings. Always been very fast delivery and parts are at a fraction of the cost. All stamped with the proper ANZS numbers as well. Look on trademe for https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketplace/business-farming-industry/farming-forestry/irrigation-drainage/pipes-distribution/listing/2906199433 I noticed a couple of others as well, so could be worth a comparison.
