doing wot to the thread?

So it seems Mike Havoc was not taking the piss about sea monkeys

When they ban figureheads featuring mermaids with bared breasts I believe it will be time to quit. I fear this silliness has already started

and without wishing to offend anybody (living or passed) I have been told that H28's have a lot of stowage. That's lucky cos u will be at sea for a while... Each to their own I guess, and there is no doubt that Mr H designed a vessel that will look after you

not if ur a fish. Speaking of whom. Has he come back from the dark side?

Call me dumb, but to be open, is that picture of bloke with the grey inflatable the accused?

There is a marine service place in the original orams boat stacky thing beside what used to be pier 21. Showing my age - I think its AB Marine?? Anyways I had my 3gm30F waterpump rebuilt there a whileback. I thought they were reasonably priced, but regardless - parts for mine were obtained there

Why? It's a pretty strong reaction from an observation..

Oops. Wrong subject

Why?

I would love to be a spectator to the conversation when Russ tries to squeeze a royalty out of the squadron

Bugger. Unsurprising I guess

On my boat I had some navman instruments which suffered the fate of many of them (LCD screens went wonky), but have recently been gifted some replacements that were in working condition when removed from prev vessel. Focusing on wind gear, I have to get aloft and remove the anemometer, free it up and test. Can anybody offer hints on how to remove it as well as disassemble, and - if anemometer is kaput AND assuming the 'new' screens do function - is it possible that an anemometer from another manufacturer will talk to the screen? I think the language is NMEA 0183 but stand to be corrected.

That woulda ripped your undies wokldnt it! $125 used ob has nothing on that...

I'd imagine its big boy trousers stuff north of the cape now but interested to know - are the boats that have withdrawn turbo charged coastal & harbour racers or are they more than capable offshore boats? Respect to them all regardless - its a pretty serious bit of water and I guess even just starting requires significant prep & expertise not to mention investment.
