Oh crumbs.
Terribly boring I know, but could the rest of us be let in on the jest?

Beware of Jocks bearing digital cameras
Nicho has just taken delivery of his new boat (Bavaria 36). It needed to be moved from the agent's yard to its new home a few miles down the coast. Jimi and I cadged a lift. The picture is of your correspondent (well known for his somewaht elistist and antediluvian views on modern mobile mass-manufactured marine maisonettes) at the wheel of said vessel.
Actually, it was shot aboard the latest Kingfisher, when I was passing on a tip or two about going to windward to our Ellen. That's her, just in shot on the left.

The first bit's obviously claptrap.
As for the second.
Well done Ken. Ellen needed some help. Did you advise on the hairstyle too?
So versatile!

But flying a hull at that angle with just one hand on the wheel? Now that's what I call bravery!

Re: Beware of Jocks bearing digital cameras
......."It was a great privilege, and a huge pleasure" said Ken and Jimi "for ME to have THEM on board" Well, perhaps they were right - thanks Guys, it was good to have you as shipmates - and to have Ellen Mac along as well was just the icing on the cake. (by the way Ken, you left your flask on board - I thought you said it was hot chocolate, but it tasted more like finest malt whisky when we opened it later - good job JIMI didn't know at the time......!!
SHMBO reckons she'd seen you both somewhere before? - BBC Crimewatch maybe?
Seriously, thanks again, it was a great day..

Explanation required
Using my portland plotter, have just worked out that there is aprox 35 degrees of heel on the boat. Why is this, the water looks flattish, clouds? (should know but haven't done this bit in YM yet) helmsman unconcernedish, crew relaxed enough to have camera out, no lifeboats in sight. Is the heel due to?
1 Helmsmans apparent bouyancy and subsequent weight transfer
2 The Bav factor
3 Sail set
4 Inexperienced crew
5 Sudden unforeseen squall not yet visible aft

One really cool thing about Nicho\'s Bav...
...is that it has a trick VHF set.
When Jimi got bawled out by Solent Coastguard, for trying to call the marina on Ch 16, the lubberly crew were totally ROFL'ed!

Bugger .. thought you had\'nt noticed!
Its these modern button vhf sets, very confusing when you've got to do 80E to get 80 and 80 just gives you 16 back. Give me a good old fashioned twister button anytime Doh ...

Was it on Saturday Morning, out of Chichester entrance?
If so we were the Jeanneau in front of you! You nearly caught us up at one point - blimey, had to wake up and do some of that sail trimming.
