And why it is necessary to get it right.
After 18 months of being on the hard standing it was relief to get all our keel boats launched last week.
I was talking to one of our members today, he had just been out to check his boat, and he was a bit concerned that there was quite a bit of water in the bilge.
He went on to say, he thought it might be coming from a leaky pipe on his holding tank.
Then he said he wasn't too worried, because he had tasted it and it wasn't salty. :oops:

Is the opposite of black water, white water?

Billy Connoly was given a Drascome for a major Birthday.

While preparing for his first sail, following the rigging instructions, he could not work out what " Insert Bumkin from aft " meant...................... ;)
