Watched it last night..great programme and as others have said, so much better than Saving Lives at Sea. Going back to the start of Season 1 to see them all. Thanks for the assist.

BBMS - Paul Brackenbury. I dont trust anyone else with my Merc and sterndrive.

Thats the bow of my boat in Martin's second picture, so when the wind is in its prevailing direction, we get plastered..... plus we are in the flight path as they land / take off.....hey ho.

I used to worry about this when we were moored at Eastlands on the Hamble. Quite a fast tide ran by our berth on the outside of the outer pontoon and the boat could have ended up god knows where. One boat either came adrift or was set free from a yard downriver from us and ended up on the bank...

For me it was the muscle boats in Miami Vice......

Wow..............lovely problem to have.... (Jealous of Southsea)

+1 for the IAC valve........change the little filter at the same time to help prevent slight hunting at tickover.

Yamaha for leisure or work, Mercury for racing......

East Head just inside Chichester harbour

+1 for Oakleys

Yep...Southsea

Our marina recently replaced all the old escape ladders with new ones, bright yellow with orange light at night....although I suspect if someone falls in, they are at the furthest possible distance from one and unable to locate it from water level between boats etc....Murphys Law and all that.

That's exactly what we use on our 7.4m rib with 4m of chain and then rope,. Always holds well and stows in the bow locker easily.

Very true.....
