Is this missing in the police sense or just someone wanting to catch up.?

So successful it's dieing.

Yes, but a lot easier with steering. Maybe a tiller pilot type as a temporary solution?

Read the history of the Grand Banks cod fishery. Depressing.

Schnapper next

So is an increase in shark numbers a goid thing or a bad thing. I might try to find out

Has anyone else noticed a lot of them around lately. Seems every time we come out lately we see one. Just had a big bronzie circle us here in Bon Accord.

That's part of the problem, they probably will get away with ...... until they don't. Globally the offshore fleet is not as well built as it should be, and the skill levels of many sailors is substandard. But now you can always press a red button and wait for help.

Within that are links to the three reports. My takeaway was their boats weren't strong enough and their surveys a waste of money.

Drop by anytime. And I have nothing but the highest praise for our public health system and everyone who works within it.

I used to drive the Morris minor to school with a Cherokee on a trailer, then disappear at lunchtime.

Wow, thank you

Time flies. During covid we did a lap of the north island, and somewhere else in there I did a 3 month leisurely cruise to the Far North. Most years I'll do one or two deliveries, most recently Gizo-Cairns-Brisbane. Plus I had my first ever health issue which slowed me down for about 18 months. ( all good now). I'll look for some photos.

I'm not that excited about it anymore, but I don't get the fixation on Olympics. I think our youth would be better served by a wide ranging, affordable, inclusive program to get kids out on the water.

Did your boat get covid?

In San Francisco we would head up the Delta for a few days and come back clean.

4inch angle grinder?

Agreed
