Re: Na! Sorry dont agree....

Yes, you are right, we 'East Coasties' don't agree with you, we used to have lots of buoys marking all the swatchways and short cuts over the sand banks and most have been removed as they are never used by ships - they have even removed some of the old beacons on the sandbanks placed there years ago.

Re: tcmCC anyone?

not sure how often an ICC examiner asks "exactly where are you now? tell me, Then show me on this chart . Assume we're crusing offshore, show me where you were 15 minutes ago. " tcmCC wd do that.

Re: tcmCC anyone?

S'obvious, innit. Right now, I'm stood at the helm. I'm not on the chart, I'm about 3 feet behind it, though if it helps, I can put my hand on it. 15 minutes ago, I was also stood at the helm. Can I have my certificate now please? Lemon with that G&T?

I spent hours setting up the magnetite, and getting it to stay on the string with horse bone glue was a real so and so.
Ps It is very reassuring to hear the dull resounding thud as the hull hits the bouys on your way home after a hard days piracy or perhaps even better a nice long day spent luring gullable owners of shiny boats from the upper thames on to mud banks etc.

Exercise is bunk.If you are healthy,you do not need it;if you are sick you should not take it.
