Just to cheer you up.....

[Tisme]

Have you noticed how the nights have started to draw in? /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

 

[bilbobaggins]

No. I'm too busy pootlin' about on here, day and night, to notice....

Surely they won't draw in until Sunday 25th. Isn't 24th the longest day ? Or is it different in your neck of the woods ?
Cheers

Oh my god, you missed it!!

Shortest day was the 21st.

All downhill now /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[Sheff]

Just an aside..................... aren't you about due to host the start of the Vic-Maui race any day soon?

Not taken part myself but have sailed on a boat in the Van Isle 360 which is doing the Vic-Maui this year.

Sorry to be pedantic, but I think you'll find it was the longest day. A mere detail....of little consequence...sorry to have raised it....just wanted to avoid confusion.... /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Unless in a parallel universe, in which the 'others' still have access to this forum, Tollesbury is in Australia?

 

[Tisme]

Not according to this!

A little surprising as, for obvious reasons, the Aussies have thousand of English place names. I would have thought that at least some people would have sailed from Tollesbury to Aus in years gone by.

 

[bumblefish]

Does this mean SETI has an answer?

 

[Tisme]

I'm probably being thick but I'm not with you on that. SETI? /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

 

[bumblefish]

SETI, the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence, if Tollesbury in not in Australia on our world and for someone the shortest day of the year is on 21st June, it could be proof of life on another planet where the occupants have access to this forum and their world is inverted! Sorry, I have been up since 05.00 and have had too much coffee.......

 

[Tisme]

Ah! So there is probably a time warped crop circle somewhere in darkest Essex. Peopled with saucer flying little green men?
That explains it. Thanks /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

You're right, it is too early!

 

[Dalliance]

Only one green man near Tollesbury - other side of the river at Bradwell and a damned good pub it is!

Our nights won't be starting to draw in until tomorrow, 0332 - 2116 UTC. Our longest day at the mooring was Thursday 22nd, 0330 - 2117 UTC.
