Re: Glen Rosa Under Keeled
You may not have noticed, but Wee Jummy seems also to have reached the same conclusion and has now elected to travel on a heavy weather boat*, should winds of more than F2 be forecast.
*Tradewind 35
(TK, stuck at home on a glorious late September weekend because of a three-line whip on attending Madame's boss's late summer party. Harrumph.)

No need to worry the silly skirts you are refering to can be used just like roller reefing, as the wind picks up all they have to do is roll in a couple of turns round the waistband thus reducing sail area only problem being if it realy picks up it will not be a pretty sight, 4 hairy arsed Scotsmen with large bellys wearing what looks like mini skirts.
Still, might go down well in France!!

Growing Concern
I've just been over to the Lickers and Stickers flora and discoverd a rather worrying post about engine vibration and re-alignment, penned by the fair hand of Mon Capitaine.
Does anyone have the ferry timetable to hand for the crossings to Cherboug on or around the weekend of the 10th Oct?
Also, is it possible to cancel all RNLI leave that weekend and how do I get that done?

Re: Glen Rosa Over Canvassed
Our poor, pathetic Sassenach neighbours can never know the delight of the kilt. I once went to a party in Stockholm in mine, to the intense interest of a group of lovely Swedish blondes. The presence of my own lovely Swedish blonde wife did, however, (or do I mean unfortunately) keep their interest within fairly decorous bounds.

Re: Glen Rosa Over Canvassed
Well I dunno but I was under the impression that kilts were made of wool and not Canvas and were more akin to flags.. with the wind they lift!.. unless of course there is a special Seadog clan ...
I think Jimi's propensity to enjoy gales or should that be gaels is the amount of hot air he and Claysie produce.. the kilts are a requirement as trousers would cause a dangerous build up of methane and be a safety hazzard.. I am surprised that they haven't decided on jet propulsion tho'

Re: Glen Rosa Over Canvassed
Didn't notice any kilts this afternoon while Glen Rosa was milling about outside Hythe, Just a very stern looking helmsman, probably wondering why a First Class 8 kept sailing past, waving!!

Re: oi!
I was pootling about musing over the depth indicator reading 0.1 when we were buzzed by a loony in a sailing boat with no stern. Looked very dodgy and perhaps leaky. However, realising that the name could easily be an abbreviation of North East Ryde Anti-pollution and Illegal Dumping Authority, I hastily moved away. But the boat marked NERAIDA copntinued to wave and hail us, so we sort-of acknowlegded them, whislt maintaining a useable escape route away down Southampton water.

Re: Swedish blondes
Only Englishmen would use the word lovely in relation to other men. I suggest you go into a pub in a delicate area of Glasgow, say the Gorbals, go up to any of the gentlemen you will see propping up the bar, and say "I think you are lovely".
