Just finished reading the memoirs of Henry Blogg, the famous retired coxswain of the Cromer Lifeboat in Norfolk, a fascinating story of a true hero who put his life at risk in order to save lives at sea - he remains the only person ever to have been awarded the RNLI Gold Award for valour three times.
Cant help thinking what he would have made of this thread /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Re: Gale Force 7 going on 8- misunderstood solent
yep and I have made up your chain hook and strop - which you clearly needed for one of it's functions earlier!
will hand over some time
sorry to have missed it but the St PP meet looks like it will be fun!
Col andI will have to sit behind at a mere 26 knots whilst you guys get the beers in

I also went down to Yarmouth late on Sat. morning from the Hamble. I think the wind over tide conditions was not dangerous but gave a somewhat sporting ride. If it is rough you only need to ease back on the throttle rather than try to keep up with a larger boat. I did find it was easier going over on the Island side where keeping out of the middle resulted in less w over t. I did look into Newtown Creek but there was not one Mobo in there. There is no shelter in N.T.C in a westerly wind so I pushed on to Yarmouth. As I did not have a reservation I had to que up inthe entrance for about half an hour. I saw Col. come in as I was given a mooring on the piles. [ I had previously passed Him drifting down the Hamble at aright angle opp. the fueling station ?? ] Dave.
