We once rafted up on a large motoryacht in Guernsey, looking very bedraggled and sorry for ourselves after a rough crossing.

The owners, British, were very kind and provided us with a hot meal and drinks.
They were very good people...I would have told you to pizz off and don’t come back until you’ve got fender socks

I can put the fender socks back on if you like. I think I’ve got all the grit out of them now. It was the lock we were in yesterday. The stone walls were very crumbly.

I hope you would put the grit back just for him.
Give him something to moan about again.

I’d like the yottie phrase of ‘come along side’ to be amended to ‘crash landed’...since that’s what they all do anyhow

Not us, we can’t allow that to happen. And we have a long cloth rather than fender socks. Though I’d quite like yellow fenders with blue dungaree fender socks.

I carry a full set of sewn Admiralty Flags plus various others, including this hoist which it seems likely that unfortunately I shall need to hoist again.
Plus this for Trafalgar Day ….
