TK\'s succint guide to sound signals.

It seems there are many of you out there who do not understand the signifance of sound signals. So here is a brief recap.
One toot - handbrake turn to starboard
Two toots - ditto, but to port
Three toots - just slapped it into reverse
Five toots - like it or not, I'm coming through.

Right, have you got that? If not, go nowhere near Port Solent.

He obviously wants to "blow his own trumpet" for some reason.

Lips are sealed dear boy, but if you can think of a 'butter who has an air compressor the size of a Contessa 32's main engine, solely dedicated to the ship's siren, you'll be getting warm!

BTW - it was a change to be aboard a vessel where the lockie warned everybody to get out of our way and stay out of our way, or else!

Re: ah!

aha! Does this refer to the sort of deranged power-mad stinkie, mad glint in their eyes, fingers hardly able to resist the throtles, looking dead ahead - impervious to all around them cept those who might dare to impede their progress?

Nice bit of wood on the old dash board. Did he manage to rip that off for you before the end of the day?

Re: missing teak

Now you mention it, I am fairly sure that i had teak on the foredeck, but just today i notice there is no teak there at all! I wonder what happened? I must say they made a very neat job of removing the stuff, probably a professional job...
