  1. I guess the dilution was around 2%
  2. No change. I topped up with another 50 litres of diesel on top. Though i did sweat it out for a bit
  3. I accidentally put about a litre of petrol in my diesel tank before realising my mistake. An engineery mate told me it would be okay, and probably good for the tank. He does it in his van every year or so. It was okay, so i luckily dodged a bullet there. I wonder if it inhibits the bug?
  4. HMB has a 800mm odd culvert pouring fresh water into it in huge quantites after a downpour
  5. I never put petrol in the diesel tank.... thats just dumb. Even if it was only a litre or two before i realised i never did it.
  6. This raises an interesting question... if you did something to improve the holding of the boat, and then that broke, and did damage, you could be found at least partially liable. I know I'd be the kind to do something, but it makes you think twice. Basically in that situation i think you'd have to prove that what you did was better than the status quo. Thoughts....

    Lost Dinghy

    It's probably met up with my dinghy, last seen east of Cuvier on its way to Chile. Bugger
  8. It's getting out while it can. No intelligent life forms found.
  9. But I want to know what happens when the moon finally leaves our orbit....
  10. Just like Aussi. Loose your licence for d.I.c on the water also means loss of drivers licence on land. Fact.
  11. Definitely two pot glue and screws. You do not want a squeak somewhere in the cabinetry all night long when there's a slight roll coming into the bay. Trust me on this.
  12. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/article.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=11977913 Wow, close call. Only a matter of time before it happens here and someone dies.
  13. yes, my wife too. Mmmm wonder what she wants?

    Hose clips

    And I thought only I was stupid enough to rip the skin off my hands, knuckles and fingers with those things.
  15. Looks great, thanks Willow. All good ideas
  16. That's great, thanks Booboo. Gives me a great place to start. Like the two part design too. Did it bring a tear to your eye to take a chainsaw to her?
  17. Cant find the post, but PM'd Booboo, cheers
  18. I'm going to give it a go. Hope it's not too much of a major, so asking for advice. Has any one made one? SF is a bit of an older boat, GOP, and I'm thinking a duck board off the stern would be an improvement. Was thinking initially of teak.... yeah, right, until I looked at the cost. So, is there any other materials, ie glass over say 20mm marine ply, or something else I can look at. Solid or cross hatche'd?. I have a transom hung rudder, so a cut out for the swing of that is required. Pleased to have any feedback.
