    Must admit I'm pretty much the same, East coast stuff I'm interested in but I haven't got enough spare time these days to go wandering off round the country, or more likely talk dominated by South coast stuff. I think you may well be right Lisa, reasons for anything being started are most likely...

    You're just trying to push the price down, very sneaky

    Do we like windfarms or not?

    Sorry Bru, but that's as far as I got, lounge type of argument so I'm out :rolleyes:

    Do we like windfarms or not?

    I wasn't going to get involved in this one, but sorry Bru, that argument is the same as the advert that used to run showing people drowning, the whole world drowning, and aimed at children as emotional blackmail for the kids to persuade the parents on a course of action deemed to be the correct...

    Is the schedule of weed cutting available anywhere ?, the weed cutters on the river Glen do a good job and it takes a while before the weed grows back so plans for river trips would be made a lot easier if people could plan for certain dates. Tide charts are available to help those sailing in...

    Chelmsford or bust Dinghy Raid

    Don't let the weed put anyone off, it sounds like a cracking day to me, just maybe make the start point a little closer to the destination and take oars for the bad parts. Weed doesn't put me off using my rubber duck to get to the pub down river, I just make sure to take oars and get to know...

    Chelmsford or bust Dinghy Raid

    Weed growth on my home waters, the river Glen, tends to be in line with sunshine, a hot summer so ideal for boating, you can't move unless you want to walk on water, pray for a bad summer or take loads of sheer pins, gave up with the mobo, and the EA wanting me to pay for a licence when I was...

    Indeed, I may have completed the fixing bracket in time too, just need to service the outboard with a broken prop which is a bit heavy on vibrations, but the offer is there should anyone be in need

    So glad you didn't mention 'organise', it just wouldn't do to suggest such a thing on the ECF :encouragement: Anyone from my neck of the woods wants to join in but don't have a tender, you're welcome to borrow mine, never got round to completing the outboard bracket but she does have oars

    It was doing just fine, right up to that post, that's the point where most just think there's no point bothering to reply, up to then there may have been some leg pulling, even some gently saying it's boring, but no insults right up to that post. That's when people on here give up, that's when...
