Blimmin teacher's pet. It's just cos you suck up to him on here.
Oh you noticed, I thought I might have gone a bit over the top with the like minded scholar statement
He's still ignoring my WNS about the drugs under the bed and the customs officers. Hohum
(you should copy paste it above )
The blow under the bed was a real classic ,
. Which is a lovely WNS, but one which I think I would have difficulty persuading Hugo to publish!
And another serious question which I assume is too sensitive for publication but it remains a concern to many I suspect ........
You are crossing from Southampton water to Le Harve , you have a safe range of 140nm and your twin diesel engined 45ft flybridge has performed well, you have cruised 100 nm without incident with just 15 nm left to run..........
Your wife spots a partially inflated Rubber dinghy drifting with 5 young men frantically waving at you.
You go across to them and manage to get them on board just as their dinghy collapses .
Once aboard you find they dont speak any English but one of them speaks a little French, you establish that they are refusing to go to France and demand to be taken to England , there is a lot of shouting going on....…...what next skipper
I'm not sure about this (I've only ever sailed on one square-rigged vessel, and that was 40 years ago!) but my recollection is that the Course is a specific name given to the lowest square sail on each mast. Above the Course you have things like Gallants and Royals -- but they are all generically known as "sails".

Point them to the fuel gauge and calmly say pas assez de carburant pour l'Angleterre. Si je me retourne, nous allons manquer de carburant en 30 minutes et d'appeler les garde-côtes qui vous arrête et vous amène à Guantanamo. Je vais vous emmener en France, vous pouvez cacher pendant que je acheter de l'essence et puis je vous amène en Angleterre.
Then of course having convinced them of the cunning plan, I would notify the French authorities when at the fuel berth with the illegals hiding down below, making sure the boat keys and family are off the boat in case they suspect and decide to try and leave on their own.
