I’m only going to be impressed if you tell me that you regularly land on it

You've been aground far too long in that sin city of Ramsgit. Clubbing and drinking - what larks but will the xmas period produce calm fair weather to get moving again round the corner ?

Yes far too long! There's a festive ridge of high coming for sure, hopefully it won't be at midnight..the choice is to go with a fair tide at dark o'clock, or punch tide at a civilised hour. I have never in my life had so much weather against me as on this autumn's trip back from Norway, it's just becoming a bind now. It can't go on like this surely.

Ha Ha .... take-offs are not that easy to stay on it ! But I can average 2 out of 5 landings on it ...

The rain and cold we can probably deal with, but those heavy winds are tough .

Hoping you can come back refreshed after the break and face a week or two of settled weather.

Let us know when you get going again.

Seasons greetings.

Thanks and the same to you.

It almost looks like a mistake, as if the word has been omitted accidentally. No mention of it inside the mag and the PBO logo is everywhere. But recent content suggests otherwise with a lot more coverage of mobos. So maybe an attempt to broaden readership?

Years ago, the then editor told me that HQ wanted to include more power stuff.

I was accused of being rude when I commented that boat ownership had become Cheque Book related ...

Cheque books are rather old fashioned. I recall signing less than 10 cheques in the last decade.

Was that when they closed the slightly less oh-no-the-ashtrays-are-full-let's-buy-a-new-boat motorboat mag? I think there was a plan to have more power stuff in PBO at that point.

Hi all. Totally unintentional omission of the word 'Practical' on the cover. Back to normal for the Feb issue.
