Photos will appear when I've uploaded them to a server and attached them - because it appears that although you can preview your post with YBW Gallery photos and it looks fine, the forum code doesn't deliver those images to anyone else ... CR4P .... so now uploaded them to Photobucket where they are visible to all!

fireball, at what point in the trip did your boat totally disintegrate?

I mean, surely you don't expect anyone to believe you crossed the channel, both ways in a F5 - F7 in Bavaria without it falling apart do you??

Do tell - what's the story.

Just for the record I will have you know that I spent a delightful weekend up to my elbows in grease/gunk/oil and paint and do now have a functioning engine again - just 48 hours too late :(
 
I had a member of staff on holiday, could cope with that OK. Another member of staff had been off sick but assured me they would be in Friday, I wasn't convinced and we are very busy. So when the crew called me on Thursday lunchtime telling me they had a problem and couldn't make it, I decided to abort. Fireball had offered me a berth but I was bu99ered if I was going to risk crossing the channel in a Bav in a 5 -7!

And I was right, staff member did not turn up on Friday and I had one guy in working all weekend anyway to get a job out. If this is a recession....bring it on!
 
Fireball has a hearing problem and seems to think it was "Fiona"

and I do believe you responded to a VHF call using the same name ... during which you said you had a bigger donk .... is this not true? ;)

I do believe that your memory has let you down..... You actually said - "you (thats me) must have a bigger donk than me (thats you)"
