Other people\'s boats

Young Jimi (now fully recovered, you'll pleased to hear) helped me ferry Indigo from Gosport back to the Hamble last night. The trip was simple and only marred by having to motor the dinghy ashore at full chat because it had sprung a leak!

Talking about the Chbg weekend, we both agreed it was good to sail on other people's boats from time to time, because you learn (or at least see) other ways of doing things.

If that's a wider feeling, maybe we could use Scuttlebutt to set up some less formal boat-jump days?

I'd agree - it's not just other boats - it's other people, other working practices.

At best you learn, at worst you may come to understand why others do things differently.

I had a brief sail on Glen Rosa with Jimi and learned how useful a cruising chute can be, even one embellished with S*****l. Good idea!

.. and on the same trip Tom suggested a simple remedy for my twisted mainsheet, sorting a problem that's bugged me for a couple of years
