That's a first then

 

[machurley22]

No mention of the central heating or the sanitary facilities I note.

 

[longjohnsadler]

Yes standards are dropping.
I've been forced to look for crewing opportunities elsewhere.

Our Eberspächer, which has been pretty reliable in the main, now appears to suffer from the Curse of Claymore. I'd better add it to the list; <ul type="square"> new prop shaft
new engine
new prop (yes the old one went the other way)
new diesel tank
new water tank
new gas line
fix the Eberspächer
find the funny electical fault in the heads light [/list] After several contented and relatively trouble-free seasons, I suppose we have to be reminded of why we go sailing...........

Remember the new gas bottle

 

[Twister_Ken]

"Remember the new gas bottle "

That's no way to talk about Dear Heart.

\"bunk cushions on\"

Aha, a major refit then. I hope you got some help with the curtains too.

 

[shmoo]

Are you supposed to get Eberspächers serviced then?

 

[Cornishman]

On a slightly more serious note, have you checked your safety equipment? Suggest you ask for a free RNLI SEA Check

[claymore]

It's only your size and the miles between us that prevent you from getting a slap

 

[claymore]

New flares last year, lifejackets are all ok and the gas installation has been checked. All the bilge pumps are fine although I did have a wee problem when my mobile jumped out of my pocket and executed a fine round turn, barrel loop, double salza and piked on entry as it landed in the darkest recesses of the bilge - 2 hours with a fishing net later it was out although inoperable!

Yer list is nearly as long as Dr Beaton's

 

[ccscott49]

What about the whisky stocks? danmmit man! get yer priorities in the correct order!

 

[tcm]

ah, perhaps it was the qty of whisky carried that forced the engine servicing?

I notice the prominence given to claymore's curtains too.

What kind of sailing man puts curtains on his checklist? What dark things go on below decks that Claymore is so careful to keep secret?/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
