Major Catastrophe
Well-Known Member
As Phil and Liz took full control of their 'new' boat this weekend, I couldn't help but notice that it spent most of its time covered in 'advisors' like a bad rash for most of the daylight hours.
By the time most of the advise had been imparted, Mirrormile was wearing 32 fenders and had at least nine miles of string tying her to the pontoon.
Mind you, during my brief 'advisory' stage, I said that a normal pontoon fender was not going to stop the bathing platform from hitting as it would go underneath the level of the pontoon.
Once Phil had pointed out that if the fat lad were to get off his boat the problem would be solved.
I remain unconvinced that me disembarking made the problem go away.
Last time I saw them, Phil and Kawasaki where busily drilling into the pontoon to secure an enormous fender, while Kwaka simultaneously looked for other things to drill.

Mind you, when he got off, the stern of the boat came up about a foot 
. I can only presume the bottle of wine he took up to his posh friends house when he went for dinner Sat. night was his last one. Woke us up staggering down the pontoons about 2am too!
