Medway International Boat Show

[Nauti Fox]

As all the lesser shows seem to be getting all the attention...
All on the outside pontoons.

The latest offering from Persimmon Boats

New one from Rogue Trader (sorry Gludy, the order book is full)

Open boat cruising? Look no further!

And inside the covered pavillion for all you gadget freaks.
The latest in lightweight chartplotters from Pifco Marine Trading.

There's something for everyone at MIBS!

Yup, and there's even somewhere for the kids to play.

With the latest in games if your junior sailor prefers the indoors

And only the best in catering. Mmmm...

If you look carefully,in the background in this picture you can see the for sale notice it reads as follows.

For Sale.
One careful owner.
In need of minor tidying.
Well worth travelling 200 hundred miles to view.

O goody.More poxy spotlights pointing upwards to pollute the night sky.Which moron dreamed up this waste of energy.

"Planning laws should include more restrictions on the design of street lights and exterior illumination of buildings to reduce the amount of light pollution in the UK. Simple and cheap solutions are readily available to solve these problems and the saving on electricity bills would more than pay for these solutions.
Reduction in light pollution would reduce the amount of electricity wasted on lighting the sky. Secondly (and I think even more importantly), reducing light pollution will allow people in cities to see the true beauty of the night sky. A generation of children in cities are growing up without having the opportunity to see the Milky Way and other wonderful objects. This is likely to have an effect on their education in and enthusiasm for the physical sciences as a whole." BBC webpage.

Why could they not just stick em on top and point the blimming things downwards.
