Vorpal Blade 89 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Complete this sentence - Ok, we've had all winter preparing and have now had our first excellent night cruising and discovered we have forgotten..... In our case it is the plug for the sink! Tried using a tapered skinfittting bung but keeps getting knocked out. And tea towels. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bazzathemammoth 38 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 So this week I sailed pork chop up from tauranga amd the mrs was going to drive up to meet me here for our week sailing holiday. After meeting wifey in westhaven and loading up the boat I noticed that we were short one of our gear boxes. The kids had their stuff but the mrs had left all of her spare clothes in tauranga! Thankfully a quick trip to the warehouse got her sorted. Im just stoked we hadnt left yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Timberwolfy 74 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Ahhh haha getting into the long shelf-life food and I discover I failed to bring a can opener. No tomatoes for me Also forgot ice during my departure but fortunately realized it right when I got to Westhaven, and could swing by the cafe at Z Pier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marshy 30 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 We left halfmoon bay in a rush one friday afternoon last year -wife loaded the boat up nicely and i went straight to the boat from work so in dress pants, shoes and shirt - kicked off the shoes and drove boat out to Rakino to get there before it got dark - anchored and enjoyed a beer (which the wife had even loaded in the fridge). Come bed time i stroll downstairs into the cabin and look for my clothes bag... Hmmmm Wife had packed hers, and sons ( not mine, i asked and she cracked up laughing as she realised that she had unloaded the boot but left my bag in the back seat of the car... Saturday morning quick trip back to marina to get some clothes for the long weekend! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Same as the head,Unless its been eaten it does go in here!!, having said that,wifey(bless her sole)decided to do the eco thing and brought same recycled toilet paper from "earthcare"unfortunately the glue/paper makes it more like trying to pump wallpaper n glue down and no need to go any further.

Yes. For the boat I deliberately go to the local dairy and buy the cheapest, thinnest 2-ply TP available - hopefully this reduces chances of blockage! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And in similar vein.. wife ate a plum, inanvertantly swallowed the stone which came out two days later and necessitated a toilet removal and rebuild on the side of the canal.
