[poter]

After a very pleasant sail around the Greek islands I come back here and it looks like all hell has broken loose!
With even Kim getting all hot and lathered.

Get a life guys! or even better a sail.

poter

p.s. the Bav 38 was great and the Metaxa even greater.

 

[SloopJohnB]

Don't even ask! Its been a nice quiet day.

[poter]

He! He! nm

[Johnjo]

Quiet,
But very dull.

 

[SloopJohnB]

I think you mean restful.
John

 

[JeremyF]

No, dull

Its been a dull 24 hrs, after a few days of real fun. I've joined the MoBo folk as a point of protest. Like the TV programme last night about 4 weeks to become a drag artist, I'm on a crash course to become a proper stinkie. I'm learning lots.

[Johnjo]

No,
Dull is what I said,
And dull is what I meant.
Any one for flower arranging?

Not exactly

Yes it was mostly a very pleasant way to spend a few weeks, but we did have one nasty experience......
a 40knot meltemi caught us out in the open with a duff furling line on the genoa, we were sailing just off the coast of Simi island and the weather changed in about 30mins. The in mast furling mainsail behaved ok & I was able to shorten it without a problem but the furling line on the genoa jammed on the drum & we had great fun sorting that out, in the end I let off the furling line and managed to wind on the genoa manualy and then lash it.
Made Simi harbour and spent a very unpleasant night rafted up to a 32' with about a thousand lines. Most of the stern to boats had to move a least once during the night.
So much for med mooring!

Ho Hum.


poter.

 

[whisper]

Cheer up you lot, one postman doesn't make a sorting office nor one senator a forum!

 

[tome]

Quite so, nor one emperor an emporium

 

[Grehan]

Don't mean to patronise, but that was a truly excellent riposte, tome

 

[sailbadthesinner]

ooooh it was all stuff and nonsense getting out of hand.

Beer! Now there's a temporary solution.
