Vivaldi 53 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Hey BP - how was the Christmas afloat in Mahurangi? Many guests? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin McCready 83 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 OMG. Boy's Own Adventure. Great writing by Sophie Woodrooffe. I nearly drowned as a child. It was quite pleasant when I'd given up struggling and taken my first breath of water. CO2 poisoning they say is euphoric. Hope the victim is OK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Great day. 13 strangers having a potluck on board a big cat. About half were cruisers "cheerfully trapped " in NZ. The rest local liveaboards waiting to leave when possible. A lot of full time cruisers some of us been at it since the 70s. Some great stories were told . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AJ Oliver 154 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 How many motors (assume outboard) have exposed spark plug wires that can be readily yanked ? Good story anyway though, might even be true. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
