  1. Priscilla2 are you in the know or repeating what you've heard? If there is any substance to the 'story' I'd expect its another nimby thing along the lines of Springs speedway albeit with a smaller group of supporters.
  2. ambulance at bottom of cliff time again.
  3. Thieving toerags. I'd love to know what the publishers think of that -is it a copyright breach? My mum brought me a copy years ago & it is intriguing reading. David Lewis was quite a guy. Amongst the things I took from it was that the 'spiders web' tattoo on the hand between thumb and forefinger is not always the sign of a hoodlum.
  4. Cant be a council facility. Theres no double height fencing with warning signs.
  5. Is it time to shut it down Matt? Seems like OP has served its purpose.
  6. Hi Richard -i'd like to take em. Will PM U with my mobile. Woild you give me a bell or let me know your number and I'll call u back
  7. Sent myself to the naughty corner for that one. Woopsy

    Sailing Crash

    No boa, lean or plump, should be in start box b4 its divisional preparatory signal. Was - may still be - a common issue at Westhaven with start box very close to marina access Having said that even freight train drivers are required to put brain into action. As i understand it, generally speaking, RRS do not let off the hook of colregs

    that is very generous of you Chariot. There are less of them than you might think:) Flame away
  13. I quite agree about the life raft part, but I would have thought a dinghy should be a must have.
  14. Christ that sounds about right. Living some kind of a dream I guess and how can you blame em. If you have enough cash gonna get some trained seals/monkeys . All I recall was Karen (I think that was her name - Ivan the terribles wife iirc, wine industry lady entertaining her restauranteur clients ) having a tanty cos we didn't get the windsurfer out. She said rather bluntly "I don't give a flying f that there's no wind, I want it out". OK I thought...
  15. didn't Ivan Erceg of Sensation Yachts have one sorta like that? I thought his was 125 foot though. A Canadian mate of mine skippered it for the '99 cup defence, and I recall being a slave for a day on a gulf cruise. What a bunch of twats some wealthy people can be.

    NRC on fan worm

    Good riddance to it. The seal is a menace and I don't care what anybody says it should have been despatched elsewhere, somehow, permanently, long ago. Carry on.

    Where has the bloody thing gone?
  18. its an extension of Darwinism - only the best genes see you thru. I've always found it best practice not to go in the piss though
  19. Thanks Muzza - Some fantastic memories in that lot.
  20. whats happened to Krakatoa today.Heading back to the jetty? Bugger - they seem to be having a bad time of things
  21. From the tracker it didn't look like Titanium were too tight on the corner either. I'd imagine being close in (as it seems Motorboat have been) and having to shelter would be an unpleasant decision to have to make, big water - stuck up against an uncaring lee shore... talk about between rock and hard place.
  22. Is it too early to start talking expected weather? according to metvuw (yes I know - get with it) looks like L 1, could be a drag race.
