Theft!

[byron]

I think its gr8 yr MIL knows what a battery looks like and how to disconnect it! Respect!

You are kidding, right? Sheila would just charm a host of Hoodies to do it for her. I kid you not this lady could wheedle a beer out of Brayman.

What would you do if, you came home from work to discover that your mother in law had been onto your boat and stolen one of your batteries because hers were flat?? And then goes on a cruise down to Windsor with it!!

Give her lots of respect and ask her to fix the electrics on your boat next time they play up!!!


My mother in law wouldn't know the difference between a Duracell and a wet cell if she were still with us!!!

Could you give a little consideration to some of us (who are old farts) and not use that new fangled 'texting' spelling.

At first I thought it was my eyes, then your spelling.

It took ages to sort it out.

Thanks

Hold her in awe and get her to fix the boat next time there was a leccy problem.

My mother in law couldn t have told the difference between a Duracell and a wet cell but could cook to kill!

Ahem..

"I bet you never thought "Legacy" would be employed as a tug either!"

Now we all know that the olde tub is in need of lick of paint and the skipper could poss.do with a good going over with a hard broom as well .........but to describe the poor thing as a tug....

 

[apollo]

I was frettin you had run aground!

Nope.

Had plenty of fuel.

Engines both OK

Props & shafts (and rudders) all OK.

There was another reason....

Actually, I think Paul will agree with me that it was becoming a bit of a drag.........

 

[Brayman]

How embarrassing!

 

[boatone]

How embarrassing!

What's making you blush, then, Ian?

 

[Ramage]

How embarrassing!

What is embarrassing?

The word "drag" tends to give visions of an anchor which is where it shouldn't be, rather like fenders!

 

[Rum_Pirate]

To me the word "drag" tended to give visions of somebody wearing female attire.

 

[apollo]

Well i hope their fenders were dragging - standards chaps!

 

[boatone]

Oh, LOTS of fenders and in all the right places

Anchors dragging? Transvestisism? Certainly not! More a demonstration of unity really, not to mention consideration for those hovering in our wake, and definitely worthy of any boat handling competition !

In a word, quite a public endorsement of my erstwhile motto on here.......

Anchors were up and fenders were down.

All crew were wearing gender appropriate clothing.

A good example was set.
