New Seasons Resolutions- what are you going to change?

[dralex]

I really, really am going to turn off the gas everytime I leave the boat- why why why can't my brain remember the simple act of turning the knob on the bottle?? I then have to make a special trip back when I remember. I feel reckless even admitting this on a forum full of people for whom this is probably second nature.

I'm also going to slacken my furling genoa halyard at the end of the day.

I promise to check the engine oil level every trip.

I will make the effort to eat at least one nutrionally balanced meal per day.

Alcohol intake will be strictly limited while moored up, to one white wine spiritzer, enabling me to always be in a fit state to move my boat legally should the need arise.

Chocolate intake will be reduced to a maximum of 2 bars per day whilst underway.

I will make more effort to do twice daily radiochecks, just in case a terminal has corroded.

I will not wee on the fender socks of large power boats, as taught to me by an RYA instructor.

I will learn all the col regs in enough detail to be able to contribute constructively to any threads on the matter.

I believed you until this one /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Once again, I'm going to try and do more sailing, on my own if I have to /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif .

I think you can continue to wee on the fendersocks of the big powerboats - just make sure they are not rafted up to you at the time - they usually have high flybridges and could get quite a range from up there!!

I'm going to sail my own boat instead of other people's (touch wood).

 

[Rowana]

Funny you should say that as that's my hope as well . . .

 

[pragmatist]

Ooh - well done - do hope you enjoy it - I can't imagine why you list keep fit in your profile if you've been fitting out your boat - or is that to exercise the bits that aren't cramped into lockers, bent round the corner to get at the seacock ...

I only have one resolution this year - to go sailing - last year was a virtual disaster. The list of things that still needs to be done on the boat - now that's a rather longer list /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

 

[Das_Boot]

I will change my name so I can stop apologising.

[Lakesailor]

I'm going to change my cockpit drain fittings so that my boat stops sinking.

 

[Neraida]

I've promised myself that I'll stop fretting so much when other boats charge in our direction.

One I forgot
I vill stop at nussink.

 

[Cotillion]

I'm not going to get stuck in the mud. ...doh!

 

[dralex]

The first three resolutions do have an element of truth, but then it all started to seem a bit sensible.

 

[Miker]

I'm not going to run aground in Morecambe Bay.

 

[mirabriani]

Humpff!
"Change your name"
Come on, if you are going to try to April Fool us,
you will have to do better that that.

Dear Dralex, you were doing so well, but now I will have to scrub you from the fixture list of neer do wells, and add you to one of the terminally worried orange euipment gathererslist to be avoided socially or any other way.
A shame. What a waste of a young life.
If you fail to meet your excessive standards, I may reinstate you.
