Anchoring? Do we actually do it?

Nice one!

You hold the sail out the wrong way, so the wind pushes on the wrong side. Then it acts like a bow thruster.

Till an unexpected gust of wind pushes you across the cabin top/cockpit backwards, catching the back of your legs on the sea rail, landing in the water head first :-0.

HHhhmm, that sounds like bitter experience.

Kids & G-kids love it when I put the gang plank out. There's always a queue to jump off it. Must look out a piccy.

They're just desperate to get off Searush, did they swim across to a mobo after that was taken?

I have to admit that G-daughter ended up on the Grand Banks "Zambuka" one year when swimming with other kids at Abermenai. She came back wide-eyed about how much space there was on it! She has also recently developed a hatred/ fear of "leaning" when we sail, so I fear she may be beyond redemption.

Not at all Steve, I always keep well clear of boats if they start unravelling those big white flappy things and those fast moving ropes being pulled through pulley blocks by wind gusts, far too dangerous for the safety conscious .

My National Osprey had none of them.

True, but not for those reasons. But mainly I just rolled over and sat on the upturned hull.
