Tillergirl provokes paranoia

[MoodySabre]

I always read the weekly bulletin. In the last year I have not updated any charts and have whizzed about the East Coast assuming there is still water where it used to be. I haven't noticed any buoys where they were not expected. I have sometimes used Navionics and assumed it was up to date which of course it isn't.

And now we are already on week 3 of another year. How can I go anywhere without three weeks of reading first? Should I avoid night sailing in case the flashing characteristics of a buoy have changed and I get lost? Am I doomed? (Dalek voice "information overload")

Don't stop TG - the really important might be published the week before a planned trip. Unplanned ones don't count do they?:nonchalance::ambivalence:

You need another calendar. The one you are using is wrong.

Your heinous crime will see you aground before the week is out. That, or just avoid the Shipwash, and you'll still be in the boozer for closing time!

I did get all the way from Bradwell to Tollesbury today with no chart and my fingers crossed.

TG says it is week 3 so it must be right. See what I mean? I'm not even in the same date zone let alone UT, BST, ET

HELP...........

I think that you should be commended for safe sailing in wintry weather no matter how far you went.

ps did you want to go to Tollesbury??????

I did - Coppercoat next week

The brave Mr Full Circle went from Bridgmarsh to Tollesbury in freezing fog yesterday relying on radar. Even with radar that channel can't be easy in the fog. Well done FC. Your boat was still afloat today :encouragement:

I was told by a RN commanding officer that there are two kinds of Captains - those who have been aground and those yet to do it.

I just prefer to do it on a rising tide.

How long will you be in Tollesbury? Might be down this coming weekend, just to check up on the adjacency of Mr FC and the royal yacht...

Two weeks at least, mostly in the shed. I am planning to be there next Monday to change the stern gland. FC is currently on J pontoon so not a threat at the moment

 

[Saguday]

FC is on J pontoon in the next berth thus presenting a very real threat...

 

[MoodySabre]

Your boat wasn't there.................

 

[Saguday]

Err....

 

[MoodySabre]

Err....

If I didn't notice it then it didn't exist. To be honest I wasn't looking for it.

 

[Saguday]

An excellent technique for sailing in poor visibility!

What about those who've lied about it?
