Dare I do a 'Whatisit' or will you all give me abuse?

Dare I do a \'Whatisit\' or will you all give me abuse?

Mid frame is a small white buoy to the left and a small orange flag to the right. Ignore the other white buoy to the left and those in the foreground.

What are they or what is their purpose?

Can't think of any IALA white buoys or orange flags? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

No but IALA is for a purpose.....

Sorry, you have lost me! Surely the purpose is to have an internationally agreed system using lateral, cardinal, isolated danger safe water and special marks. And yes I have got the old almanac out too! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

OK. The colours are wrong but they are IALA marks - well how 'official' I don't know but their purpose is an IALA purpose.

If you looked to the right you would see this

A route in through a reef?

Have you been getting sand in between your toes again? What is it you do to get these trips? Do you need an assistant? I am a very quick learner!

Bingo. But I had to give it away. I've got to go back in February when they tell me they have cyclones and rain. It rained on Friday and I have never - never seen raindrops as big.

Oh yes, I do need an assistant. I have a hundred pages of notes to type up, a plan to write and an explanation of the plan. Now if you could do that for me for early February, it would be just right for me to take over there..... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I found a serious ship and yacht modelling shop that is seriously tempting me. They will make up a model of TG from photos and a plan. Ironic that TG was built without a plan but it needs a plan to have a model! But in fairness I am after a copy of TG.

To brighten up winter, here is SWMBO - the taking of her used up all my earnings and some of Gordon's as well!

Roger! You post all this stuff and don't expect abuse? Pull yourself together, man!

I know, I know. But I'm paying the price; it's b****y freezing back here
