Houston, come in Houston...

...well?

 

[Dave_Snelson]

Sorry Jez, you've lost me on that one. BTW, unfortunately, my pics at the boat show all came out crap, so I am trying to improve them to post here.

Thanks, had me worried, put it down to the wine at the time.

Ah my friends, all will (hopefully) become clear soon /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[gravygraham]

So you've bought the wrong vhf for your boat?

 

[halcyon]

That or is it bio fuel ?

It's all quiet on the Ratty front at the moment...! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Re Houston, it might have something to do with how Jez is currently skulking on the Queen Mary II somewhere in the Caribbean, and having to make decisions about what type of cocktail to try next......

 

[halcyon]

Shows were the profit lies, at the consumer end, not the component end.

Well? Not so well. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

'Houston' is sitting there ready willing and able. I am sitting on 'Panache' ready to collect but Chimet is showing F6-7 at the moment and no sign of easing. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

If there's a gap in the weather I will collect her asap. If not, it looks like next weekend. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

For those of you that missed the meaning, my new (to me) boat is called 'Houston' and I'm just waiting for a break to collect her from Weymouth.

Sorry if any disappointment Jez.

How's the cruise?

 

[Renegade_Master]

so Panache was a Phan 38 whats the new one? have you gone bigger?

 

[RogerRat]

Just a little, 40' but sports again.

I like the FB but her indoors likes the feel of speed and all on one level. 25 knots on FB feels very smooth and half the speed. I always drive from up top anyway as I like the windy bit.

Causes great amusement when I wear a flotation suit up there! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

They call it my 'Noddy' suit. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[Alistairr]

So when are we going to be able to read all about it, Roger????!!!!

Al.

 

[Whitelighter]

Thats pants Rog.

I guess there is plenty of time - I will swing by Sparkes next weekend and see what is in your berth then /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Cruise is good - too much food, too much beer - just a bout perfect.

Catch you later

 

[Alistairr]

Don't kid us Jez, You know what'll be in his berth!!!

Al.

 

[Dave_Snelson]

Ah - understood!

Hi Al,

As you asked, as soon as I can get my hands on her and get a decent pic or two, I'll post more about it. But without the boat or some pics it won't make very interesting reading, I'm afraid. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
