    Deboatification...

    It's getting more and more difficult to justify the relevance of my blog posts to this forum, so I'm moving the notifications to the Lounge. I'll run the two in parallel for a few posts and then move over solely to The Lounge. So, there's been a new blog entry on: www.sailblogs.com/member/birvidik

    Long Time No Sea

    There's a new update on www.sailblogs.com/member/birvidik And this time it's really boaty. Sorry about the delay in updating - I've been a tad busy on other fronts. My thanks to those solicitous souls who have enquired about the melanoma. Just done 6 month check and all clear.

    Birvidik update

    Looks like you'd need about 10 to the 8 load cycles to initiate stress cracks. That would be a challenge, even for a woman of Anoushka's talents, focus and stamina.

    Birvidik update

    Be careful what you wish for matey. That would be some test. Personally, I'd be worried about metal fatigue.

    Birvidik update

    Trying the new system as suggested by Ana. I'll use this thread to notify those who are interested, hopefully without irritating those who aren't. I've just posted a new entry on www.sailblogs.com/member/birvidik. Boatiness quotient = < 25%

    What's your 'luckiest' possession?

    Nils Bohr used to have a horseshoe on his door. A visitor asked him how he, a man of science, could believe in such superstitious nonsense. "Oh, I don't", he replied, "but I understand that it works whether you believe in it or not."

    Well, that didn't work, did it?

    "Then there are musicians: Le Pétomane - Wikipedia" Only the French would use a word derived from the verb 'to fart' to describe sparkling drinks.
