after noticing the chat page in mby thought it was time to log in and join in all the fun,although the true reason will be to pick everyones brains and find out what im doing wrong! although i know why i ended up spending 10 hours of darkness waiting for the tide to lift me off the foulness sands this sunday (im told im not the 1st and wont be the last) but why did it co-incide with severe stomach upset? you can guess the rest! what a great start to the season

1. Have you had any proper boat training?
2. Do you have all the correct safety equipment on board?
3. Are you trained to use a VHF/ DSC radio and do you have one?

A local 'old salt' once told me that no Essex Sailor has the right to call themselves experienced until they had spent at least one tide high and dry on the Foulness Sands. So I guess you are now well and truly qualified /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

Hiya Kaz
So you tried to cut the corner did you? Where were you headed? I got stuck there for twelve hours when my gearbox failed last year, frightened the life out of us when the seals crept up in the dark and started making rude noises.

Medical problem

A doctor writes

"In prolonged periods of inativity such as the grounding of a motor boat the mind has a tendancy to drift onto various subjects and the sub-concious mind pushes itself into the concious domain. A train of thought will develop and the mind will explore this thought into its darker recesses. These will not be random thoughts, they will almost certainly relate to some recent or current activity/event. In this case you probably were developing the thought about how much the big lump of useless plastic you were sat in had cost you and how much it is likely to cost in future, this is almost certainly the reason why you s**t yourself".

That wasn't Seals, it was your mate trying to get in your bunk and snuggle up. He told me, you used him and cast him aside like an old shoe.

Welcome aboard...

I'll have to introduce you to a friend of mine who seems to know sand banks very well - he runs into them every season!

Hi Kaz,

We don't have sandbanks here in Alderney, just nasty rocks. I only clipped one once, and then only at dead slow speed. Just sort of went bump, leaned a bit and slid off sideways. Funny, the first thing I did (apart from swearing) was look round to see if anyone had noticed. Then checked for leaks and crept carefully back the way I'd come. Fortunately no damage done due to substantial tubular steel "Jersey" keel.
