Just noticed my post count is 666. That's bad so I'm posting this to make it this one more. Math Teacher: "If I have 5 bottles in one hand and 6 in the other hand, what do I have?" Student: "A drinking problem." What's the difference between men and pigs? Pigs don't turn into men when they...

Thanks for explaining. That is something I've never understood either. Thank you.

No no no.. If you don't know what to do then just don't do it.

Epoxy patch, it's an afternoon job. It will sort it. Poyester may work but better safe than sorry and go with epoxy. Kind regards S

This will be the third Christmas I'll spend alone.

I am glad that this is not a motorbike thread. I could tell you how many road racer friends that Ive lost but I'd be here all day.

it's the elves, santa makes them steal them . happy xmas

Sailing scares the hell out of me. I'm 30+ years at sea and apparently it's normal for sailing boats to list like they do, like the pdf on post #6 from pandos . I'm not dissing sailing boats because I have a long keel Colvic in the yard. Its never been in the water since I've owned it. I...

I don't have an outboard but I have worked on them, WD40 and don't worry about the rubber seals, they are replacable and probably a good idea to do so anyway, then you'll replace the the gearbox oil too, all good. My advice is just my opinion. Give a call to Martin, he will steer you right...

Thats a plan too but it would need to be well buried. I did that at each end of my creel string when I did lobsters before trawling. Thanks

Thanks Pete. I'm just off the phone to a harbormaster, he has no spaces in his but he has mentioned people using train wheels as permanent anchors on a river, I've never heard of such a thing, sounds like a plan though, has anyone done that and if so is it recommended? . S

I really do get your point and thanks. Although If dug into the sandy bottom (the diver) and buried under the sand it works a treat with chain. You haven't suggested anything, help me out bro. I have 6 anchors in the boat, I just want to put a permanent mooring down and I'm not putting a...

I've been ringing around this morning and the prices are shockingly so variable, it goes from £146 a month at the high end in a marina to £220 for a year if I put an anchor fore and aft on the river Bann through the honerable Irish society. I was on the phone to the harbourmaster of...

I'd say a yellow one

On post number one Im guessing he meant I'm, not AM unless I'm mistaken and if I am wrong then apologies. I started off on 27mhz sideband, 11mtrs. my mother wasnt too happy when I was 15yrs old and put a 4 element quad in the back yard on a three five meter box section pole to raise it at the...
