    Southsea Marina, anyone tested the curry?

    The guys signed the lease last week - and started gutting the inside on Saturday - so don't think you'll get a curry by Friday! Hopefully it'll be up and running in the next few weeks.....

    RTTY decode

    Yep - he's feeding the SSB signal into his laptop, so JVcomm32 sounds like it's the one he needs. How much is the subscription - or do you live with Demo written on the output?? Thanks for the tip. Cheers, Ruth

    RTTY decode

    Thanks for the info & link - I have to confess I've asked the question on behalf of my husband - he's now living aboard (minus internet connection) whilst I enjoy (?) the last week of unlimited internet access from work.

    health insurance

    We have decided to ge with Endsleigh's back-packer/adventure travel policy. Covers loads of activities, including sailing in territorial waters - we figured if we weren't in territorial waters, then we'd be reliant upon our own first aid skills anyway... They do discounts if there are 2 people...

    what will/won`t you miss

    I'm leaving on 4th April this year - and my number one miss will be my cat. Can't teach an old cat new tricks, so she's going move in with my neighbours - hopefully...

    Yet another jet ski prang!

    How many close misses?? We spent Saturday night on a swinging mooring in the enterance to Langstone harbour - which was akin to being moored in the middle of a jet ski race track. There are a couple of PWC launch sites, and the harbour master keeps a "presence" on the water until dusk to keep...
