The Med today.....

[kashurst]

Challenging conditions these past few weeks - had to wear a jumper!
took the boat out for half an hour to keep the props clean.

Keep rubbing it in while you can because one more month and the Welsh Med is open for business :encouragement: :encouragement: Cant wait myself. I feel caged and so ready for this season.

 

[Mr Googler]

Nothing wrong with the Irish Sea today. Bit of testing after turbo change. 35 knots and full revs now available. Didn’t take a picture though damn it! 2ft waves and sunshine....it was lovely!

if it makes you lot happy, it was snowing this morning, temps around freezing (up to 5) meant to improve midweek, no work on the boat, just pass by and look at it from inside the car

how did the pressure system work then?

 

[Mr Googler]

The little gauges jump around a lot so difficult to read.

TPMS system has arrived, just waiting for the 1/8npt valves to arrive.

Got a new “whistle” so need to recheck all the intake pipe work. Could even be my cheap gauges Boat still goes off like a scolded cat though!

maybe that's why they recommend glycerine filled boost gauges for turbos? got a 3bar wika on my fiat coupe
or you mean the actual gauges jump and not the needles? How are they connected, I thought you bolted them on the inlet magnifold, no?

Just the needles....they are bolted in.

If the gauge jumped about itself, I’d be in trouble!

It was 20 degrees today in Wales.

It was 20 degrees today in Wales.

it's February and it was reported as the hottest Feb day in UK for the last 200yrs (or something like that)
do you want me to report the max temp for each day in June-July-August and compare them MrB?

Yes. But I'm stuck on the hard and still in several pieces.
New carpets still to go in and new paint works
Port engine needs reassembling
Fire suppression system replacement
Outdrives and bellows still to go on
Solar panel still to go on
AF still to go on
Chinaspacher and turbo boost gauges still to go in
I'm running out of days here

 

[sprocker]

Trip around the coast to Dartmouth and back on Sunday, saw me coming back with a burned head!


This was taken off Berry Head last weekend at midday, no rain in the sky but weird cloud form.

 

[Bouba]

Such a beautiful and calm day that me and the dog decided to go for a little boat ride when suddenly this giant waterspout.........

Whenever we go somewhere I like to go boating and in Geneva the waterbus is the quickest easiest way. It’s part of the public transport system so you can use your travel card. Glorious weather

 

[petem]

Doesn't look like a waterspout to me!

 

[vas]

and there's nothing "sudden" about it was there in my first visit to Geneva some 20yrs ago and no doubt many more before that...
Alzheimer kicking in slowly mr Bouba? should look at it I recon
