    Tally Ho BBC Please Take Note

    :love: I still love you. My fault for hijacking an excellent thread. Anyway. I think it's time for me to give forums a miss if I start doing things like this. I expect this happens to all eventually but it feels right to stop. Thanks to all and I wish you all well.

    Tally Ho BBC Please Take Note

    I agree. Just that I have been locked out of the Faro's thread this week. I posted a picture link to the annual killing of dolphins that takes place there which must have produced complaints . As a sailing/cruising forum I thought it may be relevant. I admit that I feel the practice is...

    Removing blakes seacocks for servicing.

    On my current boat , the Blakes seacocks were all glassed in. All the cones were seized. One was a real bugger despite all the above ideas. As mentioned, it's very hard not to increase the hammer blow force from outside to free the cone. It may be possible for someone inside the boat to...

    Sad news, Humber pilot

    Sad. The limit for driving a car is 80mg per 100ml of blood. Quote: The pilot had ingested sufficient alcohol on the day of the accident for his blood to contain 122mg alcohol per 100ml of blood approximately 2 hours after reporting for duty. It is likely that the consumption of alcohol...

    To be seen practicing was a very poor show in amateur sport in Britain. Also, it was more important to look good doing it with style irrespective of winning anything. Then those damn American colonists came along , with nothing to live up to , they actually were seen practicing for things...

    Red Diesel the same price as regular?

    I have noticed that Super Unleaded petrol, and Premium diesel, does produce better fuel economy. I use Esso Super unleaded in both outboards and car . It's only about 10p a lt more and in my area it contains no ethanol. I also used Premium white Diesel for the boat . It seems that HVO...

    Orca attack

    Strange that the report has not reached mainstream media. Perhaps there has been some confusion.

    Sailing with outboard

    Yes. It's going to be tough on the power boat market when it comes in but is probably a long way off.
