    'Welcome Anchorages' in Scotland

    Mike Perham on Ch4 tomorrow

    Well I think he did very well how many here have spent as long alone? and even with communications I reckon they would make it worse as having spent time away from home with work (RAF) it always seems to make it worse being reminded of home. I wish I'd been able to do something like that at...

    getting afloat on tv

    Yes it would be really good to be able to get this series on DVD since I no longer have Sky. Just look at Mark Evans' site he sells his restoration type series and newbuild stuff on DVD but Getting Afloat I would buy.
