Fantastic news

Keep plugging away Rog. Hope you get further along the road. Just don’t get a fast mono cos that would be scary

I had a fast close winded mono that I could sail on ingle handed

If he's back on the water I'd better up my insurance.

When the weather is better, happy to take you out for a sail if you like/able. Will supply transport/beer/bucket etc.

As Roger is planning to buy a stinkpot, perhaps i should offer to take him out on my Gin palace, teach him how to make lots of wash, swear and make gestures to those raggy boats ?

thank you Mel, I foxs sorting her spotty bottom srtrd she was afloat for 4years so not unexpected really I would now apply copper oat at this stage it would b cheaper than 5 lts of af every Yr and the resulting af buildup

I agree about the copperbot treatment - Was there again Friday and she is now stripped ready for first treatment. Glass now showing.

I don't know you at all, other than from on here, but I hope the huge improvement in your typing ability is indicative of your progress overall.

Thank you so much I am waking much easier with a stick far more stable while ago I had issues with my left knee not worlockingoff so I was liable to drop down in heapi have got over that now and more confident walking, and I do stop now and then nd try to stand erect to test my balance, but as a sailor that wasponce 2nd nature.

That sounds like progress to me, keep up the good work Roger.
It's repetition that makes the signals re-route and function again, hopefully to a decent outcome.
