Lots of fenders and the little things that hold the funny round bit in the innards of a winch by slotting into a groove - they bounce.

Isn't it funny, it's really hard to get lost on land. I almost always know where I am and I know where I'm going. The route may be a little hazy but that doesn't count as lost.
Wheras at sea, half the fun is to see how close you really are to where you thought you were, as in how close can you make your landfall.
I suppose GPS has taken the fun out of that feeling of achievement.

It used to be quite exciting with Decca - falling back to manual DR when the amber light went on.
Remember one foggy night trying to take a running fix on Ratray Head foghorn - by ear. Decca didn't work around there.
Well on way to Inverness when normal service was resumed.

This is tempting fate - even though I don't believe in it!!
So far I have never fallen overboard and never lost a winch handle overboard (or been on a yaht that has lost a winch handle overboard!!)
I have lost:
A paid of scissors. (Knocked in by son when I was sewing on bits of anti-chafe leather on the guard rail to pushpit fittings in Kernoval Marina, Lorient)
A dinghy (I was foolishly towing it across the channel in my very early yachting days)
Several screwdrivers and assorted tools.
Pair of sunglasses when the submarine 'navigator', who I foolishly trusted, stuffed us onto the putty in Santander so violently that I fell over. (Actually he was a senior rate who ran the plot on a submarine not the official Navs, but he was a day skipper and he assured me he knew where he was and what he was doing!! My fault for not watching him more closely.)

Once lost the entire contents of a bottle of Black Nikka Japanese Whisky. Bottle was full in the evening, empty in the morning. Most bizarre.

Lots of winch handles mentioned. Why is it that the floating ones are impossible to spot when they go in?

A coplete set of keys handed to me by a particularly thick and large US Marine. I was his instructor, he was not to bright but very willing and I wouldn't have wanted him as a enemy. During the course I showed him a bit of ropework and he made a rope keyring which he handed from one boat to another to show me.
When I dropped them I went all cold but he just said 'Oh,no' and before you could blink he'd jumped over the side to retreive them. In the Baltic in April.
He got them and passed the course.
he got them back though.

Did you miss it?
A few days ago someone advertising for crew for a trip to the frozen north - Sure Spitzbergen was mentioned.
I thought you would have fancied it.
Sadly I have still to earn a living so had to let it go
