Though you havent given much details of the circumstances.
Two new hoars for a waveline sa 270 cost me £30 last wk, and they are shorther than the original ones.

Left the tender on the mooring on Windermere for a few days and returned the Gem back to said mooring this evening to find the swap had taken place

Sorry. Should have said. I never left anything liftable in the tender on the mooring. Always transferred to the boat.

Lots of people slithering about in the moorings.

Recently an "esteemed" yacht club member had the Constabules attending his premises for another purpose stumble across as many as 16 outboard motors. :eek:

Who swapped my new plastic oars for their manky old ones.
My new ones were useless and your old ones work much better.

Sounds like they could be from the Isle of Wight, I onces had 100 quid in £20 notes in my wallet I left it at school only to pick it up with 2 £50 notes in it. They looked real and I Spent them. Very odd.
 
Ha - oars, that's nothing, £500 worth of dinghy slipped its lashings on a quick sail from Jura to Tayvalach. A case of wtf is the dinghy? I am now £400 lighter having replaced the device after trawling Crobh, Ardfern and Crinnan. So if you have found a new dinghy on the shores of Gigha or the MOK it's mine.
 
Probably the same person who stole my deck brush. It was so old, manky and bare I had laid it on the sidedeck, ready to take to the skip. The thief saved me the bother.

But not, I suspect, the same person who stole my mooring strop. That had a plastic tag on the loop with the name of the boat on it. The strop (stout and sound, but hardly alluring) was taken, but the tag was carefully removed from the loop and attached to the ring on top of the buoy. A courteous thief indeed.
 
Praps if I leave my oars with the manky varnish in the Mirror I'll get a nice varnished pair?

Hang on, I do leave my manky oars in the Mirror and they get no better, I may get into the habit of taking them with me in future.

The scroat is a boater, sad but true.
 
Gurls, Drink, Feck

I've often wondered if this is a real Irish word, or just made up for Father Ted. Similarly, was "Naff" a real word before Porridge? Or "Clunge" before The Inbetweeners.

Wonder no more - 'fecker' was in regular use (in Cork at least) well before Father Ted graced the screen
