Re: Credits

Whatever, special credits to LJS for suggesting the air compressor idea to blow in to the tank, and bleeding the air out. Also, as mentioned, credits to SJS (shorter john silver? still 6' 3" tho) for being in charge of anchoring and then not anchoring. However, LJS's other idea of putting a pole up with a rag on it to catch more wind to drift along faster was totally daft, I think.

Fuelwise, even the sacred ointment would need time to work anyway? Having broke down, couldn't just slap it in and hey ho zoom off - with concentrated clag we needed to get it out of the way - but it's still there.

Oi enjoyed that story, LJS. These things can happen to the best of us Put it down to another valuable, enjoyable boating experience.

I'm fine thanks, Colin. Hope you are the same. A rather chilly 15C this morning, but clear blue sky. Off to Augusta (10 hr drive) on Mon for Christmas w/son and family. Other son coming across from Atlanta to join in festivities. Hope you and yours have a great time and a happy, healthy and prosperous 2003.
