Understood. All fine. In meantime I will draft a very brief draft agreement. PM me your email and have a wonderful break.

Thanks for all kind words. I have sent a PM to Mysteresailing to start a conversation. Notwithstanding the timetable I put out above, if there is a chance of someone taking it on I will keep it running in the meantime. Extensions seem quite the thing at present (he ducks)

MySQL version 5.7 and PHP 7.2.22 though I doubt it is all that sensitive to versions since it was written some years back.

Don't want to do posting on multiple forums but I know a few East Coast sailors used yourboatpix.co.uk, so please go and have a look at the post.

It is probably ten years since I posted on here. A lot has happened since then: I have been seriously ill and got more-of-less completely better; moved from the East Coast to the far west of Cornwall; and sold the boat. I am the proprietor of yourboatpix.co.uk picture sharing website. It has...

While watching "the Perfect Storm" on the box we reached for our big Times Atlas to see where were Flemish Cap and the various plots they mentioned. Disappointment: it hardly covers the Atlantic at all! At this time of the year Father Christmas is listening for hints - at least I hope he is. I...

Well, thanks for the kind words. Kayaking is quite feasible around here (the far west of Cornwall). The tides are along the coast, and there are a few putting in and out places if you know where to look. As with most leisure maritime activities you have to be a weather and tide opportunist. Had...

I've been away for a while. I was a regular contributor here for a number of years, but moved to the rocky and windy far south west and sold the Sigma 362. Was very ill for a while, but recovered completely (thanks NHS!). This year, or more realistically early next, may see me back on the...

This is gone now.

Racing was banned on public roads in 1928. Maybe its time...

Cowes week often falls on our summer cruise from East Coast to West Country/Brittany. After one experience of the madness we go round St Katherine's mostly now. I would rather take Brittany Ferries and wind against tide at St Kats over a racing fleet in the Solent any day.

Used to use Cruiser Uno. Worked for the year we spent on a swinging mooring outside SYH and then couple of years inside on a finger also (but worked a bit less well inside I feel). The boat stayed in the water the whole time, and would come out for a weekend about Whitsun for a pressure wash and...

£40 Five or six years old but lightly used. Mostly clean but small stain on front (see pic below). Hood slightly faded. Can deliver Deben/Orwell/Stour/Mersea or buyer collect. Front and back Tag and trousers Stain

Second all that and here is a pic of us a couple years back, if it is not too late.

On the face of it Hayle and Lelant look like good choices but the the RSPB own, like actually own, more or less the whole of the Hayle estuary. I got quite far on a house in that area before I discovered exactly what you can't do there. It is a mesh of SSSIs,LNRs, and other bo****x. There are...
