While we\'re slagging off MBY...
Might I just comment that if I see another article from Ray Bulman gloating over the imminent demise of red diesel, and how it will mean a welcome return to The Good Old Days of Boating, I think I'll scream.
He started the ball rolling with his smug treatise on the virtues of displacement cruising and traditional navigation skills. Now we have another trip down memory lane, extolling the glories of coal as an alternative to the infernal combustion engine.
What's next, Ray? Harking back to the good old days of sail? Scurvy, keelhauling and weevils in the ship's biscuits? Perhaps an nice article on the lost art of carvel planking and DIY seam caulking? How to make your own coracle, perhaps?
