New Distress Signal

[Talbot]

There I was pottering around on my boat at the marina on a lovely sunny afternoon. I had just realised that if I managed to do all the tasks that I want, I might just be finished in time for the end of the season, when my attention was drawn to a new form of distress signal - A gentleman in a white lab coat waving his arms above his head and uttering a curious cry. My attention being aroused, and on the off chance of cadging a cup of tea I jumped in my trusty tender and sped to the rescue:

There was Parahandy who having destroyed a genoa winch last weekend (anyone want a single NZ winch size 30 (requires gentle handling)) as trying to fit two winches big enough for berthing the Queen Mary 2 - however he had discovered that slight problem of holding screwdriver on top, whilst winding up the nut down below is not a solitary undertaking unless you are a mutant with extra stretchy arms!/forums/images/icons/smile.gif

Are you sure the gentleman in the white lab coat was not actually Parahandy, but somebody trying to catch him, and take him back to where he belongs?!

Somebody buy the lad some mole grips for Christmas.
I fitted my whole deck hardware by scuttling up and down the companionway and moving the mole grips one nut at a time......
If I could afford 4 pairs, I could do the winch installation in one trip. Wow....

Oh bugger, he's threatening to come down this way. Can you please give a full description of the vessel and owner so we can raise the jolly roger when he's been spotted, even better report on here if he disappears from your marina one dark night...........................
