hi there.. This thread here is quite interesting i think.. http://www.ybw.com/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/2317560/an/0/page/0 and this article too I found very interesting http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/f74/go-small-go-now-607.html and for pure inspiration you can do a lot worse...

I'm using google chrome "straight out the box" and have never seen any adverts..

given that the Rugby and Football season has just finished it might be a nice little earner for one of the local clubs,, if not their hallowed turf then maybe their car parks or whatever.. When we lived in Scotland we used to spend the occasional weekend in Ambleside and we used to walk from...

NathanLee on the Liveaboard forum is going round anti clockwise just now.. http://onkudu.wordpress.com/ thats his website and the videos are excellent.. good luck with your venture. Craig

[ QUOTE ] To quote a source: "Principles of Maritime Law" by Susan Hodges & Christopher Hill 2001. ISBN 1-85978-998-6. "Under English law, a ship is notionally divided into 64 shares or parts. No one has yet adequately traced the origins of this figure. It is of little importance and...

apologies to the original poster.. but does anyone know why the boat is split into 64th's? I tried a Google and found a few sites saying queen Victoria started it by taxing boat owners 36% and leaving the owner with 64% of the boat.. another site attributed this to queen Elizabeth.. another...

thanks for the link to the go small go now article.. very uplifting.. good luck with your endeavour.. Craig.

been following your video's and your blog.. it's great to see you doing so well.. really enjoying the videos.. the way you're going you WILL be heading to Christchurch NZ before long.. good effort thus far, keep up the good work with the vid's and blog, and I hope the kindness continues...

thanks for that.. that is awesome..

obviously been living down here for too long.. Oh well.. If i ever make it to Wellington in Somerset in the next year or so .. you can shout me a beer or 2.. (it'll be better beer in that wellington too.. but don't tell the kiwi's I said that..) Craig

IF... thats IF.. you're Med bound I said in my original post.. and Nathan, if you do make it to NZ , let me know if you're ever in the Wellington area I'll only be too happy to shout you a beer or 2 .. ( I know he said Christchurch anteak , I'm using that little word IF again..)

bloody good luck to you Nathan.. As has been said before.. we're all a long time dead.. so I for one think you are damn right to be doing what your doing.. Your IT skills are global , so if you find yourself in need of some cash, i'm sure you'll get some contract work without too much...
