... this evening.

Look who is out playing while the rest of us are working...

Papillion:

The Minister of Tourism & Foggy Weather:

Hey, wait you guys - you havn't paid...

Is it just me or does it look like there's a serious fuel spillage there?

It really is quite tight along that pontoon to the wall - Don't know how you managed it in a 40footer last summer, well done Mick

 

[Nautical]

Cor blimey you cant do anything these days without someone spotting you.

Not long after lost starboard engine, EVC went into wobbler mode and get you home mode, drat!, had to transfer my charter over to Brian on Papillion, 600 smackers gone /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif snot fair why do these things always happen when you are working and not when you are out faffing about on your own /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Plus we missed the last bridge lift and are now out on the Kind Edward pier so have to get up a 04.00 to go bring her back in /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Thanks for the EVC calibration doc Mick just got it shall be button pushing like the clappers in the am.

Well spotted Mick, I do like the look of the blue hull boat, what is it???/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Cheers

Tell you what.
No way am I logging onto Douglas Webcam at 04:00 hrs - your on your own matey.

I'll be dreaming of 5 sunny days on SV2 starting at noon tomorrow - yipee.

I hope to be able to log on from the marina with a new wireless thingy, if not, I'll call you.

Best of luck with the EVC.

Did you say you something about a flybridge boat with shaft things coming to the rescue /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Phantom 38 - propper boat that /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

 

[Coupe]

Don't recall Al.

Last I heard, it was going around in circles /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Phantom 38 is nice don't ye think /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[Alistairr]

Hmm, Yes its nice, but I prefer the 50 myself. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Al.

 

[Coupe]

psst, wanna buy a new avatar? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[Alistairr]

Oh no, I wouldn't go that far.
I'm very happy with my current sexy little model./forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Anyway, Trev gave me this one for free, never had to pay for it!!! lol

SonVida - Hmm, 5 day's on your sexy Phantom 40 I hear you say?? Ooh er, you might just wake up with an Alt hiding under your flybridge canopy! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

 

[Alistairr]

Its a 50 not a 40 or even a 38!!!

Neither is a sexy Italian 39!/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

But i've still very much looking forward to the guided tour of it, in a fortnights time at Dublin.

Cheers

Al.

Ah i'm only a simple Irish lad who lives on spuds - Leave me be. I always thought she was a 40footer?! Or Maybe SonVida just isin't proportional to the boat?! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Al - Sure if he's giving a guided tour we may aswell all arrive at once... Who's supplying the champers?!

Oh Al,

You took the bait - hook, line & sinker.

/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Nautical gave you a free avatar /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Are you sure you didn't enter into some kind of contract - not like him to give freebies /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[Nautical]

Well that was interesting, lost all power on the starboard engine now and tripped out the bow thruster was giving it so much dixie crabbing up the channel then trying to get on the finger stern too with a bit of wind and single handed, skippy would be proud of me /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif, the fact it took me six attempts was a bit of a swine but least I didn't scratch it and there wasn't a soul around at 04.30 to see my backwards and forwards antics /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Now to get the darn thing fixed before heading off to liverpool next week /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

 

[Coupe]

Have you lost all power to engine due to re-calibrating EVC?

 

[Nautical]

No think its a follow on from loosing the revs in gear last night, I couldn't do the recalibration last night as we were rocking and rolling all over the place with the North Easterly. I have just been down and have followed the recalibration notes you emailed and I think that might have done it but I'll have to go back out again to try as dont think harbour master will appreciate me giving it dixie up and down the marina /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

You really notice the difference on one engine up that tiny channel as even though you correct the thrust with helm she still crabs a bit sideways which means you are pooping yourself going past those sticky out outboard skegs. Sweat? me? too bloomin right /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
