internet - dear me

I was looking for a link between Eric Hiscock and Vertues. This is what Google gave me!

"that by his discreet vertue and diligence he set through and brought to com. ... i was hoping to get to taste a load of rick's cum, but after his cock ..."

Is nothing sacred??!!

Depends how you search

I often wondered how he could afford to have boats built...........

 

[chinita]

Erm, 'hiscock vertue' . Can't see much wrong with that. Not as if it was 'his cock, cum, shoot, duff, load...etc!!

Recently our owners asscn website had a problem with its 'parental controls' which translated all references to the "cockpit" on the site, to "Thingy pit" /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

If you type in 'Hiscock Wanderer class' you might get some luck.
Was it Vertue specific info or Hiscock and Laurent Giles info in general you wanted?

At work I typed in 'Ryde' and it came up 'ACCESS DENIED, YO'LL BE REPORTED TO BLA BLA BLA...'
Not sure what it thought I was trying to search for!!

Thanks Doug.

It was just that Roach 1948 had mentioned there was a photo of the interior of Chinita in Cruising Under Sail. I have Voyaging but not Cruising. I wanted to check that it actually was her and not just 'a Vertue'. I had an idle moment so I thought I would do the search.

No big deal, I was just a little surprised at the results and thought I would share it.

 

[Peterduck]

I've just had a look in 'Cruising Under Sail' and there is no reference to either 'Chinita' in particular, or even Vertues in general.
Peter.

Yes, she's in there. A quarter-page photo: plate 8.C opposite page 64. "Plenty of teak and fine workmanship on show in this corner of the saloon in Chinita, one of the Hong Kong-built Vertue 5-tonners." And very cosy she looks too!

 

[machurley22]

In the third edition it faces page 40.

 

[chinita]

Ooooooh, thank you! May I ask which edition this is?

 

[Frangipani]

Second Edition. Other editions may have it on different pages, but it's in Chapter 3 "Accommodation".

 

[chinita]

Many thanks, have ordered OUP 2nd Ed 1965 from Abebooks.

Their smut filter has spotted the word c*ck in the title and assumed you are looking for a porn site. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif Try Estate Agents plus the locality you want and then you should be able to pick them out. I usde to work at a Council Office and we had that sort of nonsense all the time. I had to keep getting "Head of Section's" permission to view perfectly normal sites I needed for my work.
