Who thinks this is the correct level of fine

I thought we were all playing together nicely but it appears possible the thread has taken a serious tone

I would just like to say that all my comments were tongue in cheek and no offence intended to anyone.

bluegrass, I found your comments well worthy of consideration

Fireball, I dont really think that you are that old

Searush, I respect 99% of your ideas, my posts were meant to be ironic as I'm not that young myself any more, I'm actually in my 40's now grey hairs can be found in my sideburns and I find myself resisting the urge to get on the plane within Harbour boundaries .

What happened to the good old days when you gave a little banter and found it returned in bucket loads instead of complaints, are we all getting old n grumpy , perhaps we should be more tolerant in order to attract younger posters

You can't have a February without a decent raggy / mobo row.

good point. March is coming up soon. what about a good excess wash thread?,
or maybe flapping halyards?
just for the record as regards the age thing - I'm older than anybody who has owned up so far.

I always enjoy the banter on here, that's why I come & join in. It would be REALLY boring if we all thought the same & I find it very useful to understand the other person's predjudices.

Such threads beat the socks of "which boat is best" without stating what you want it for or where it will be kept. Same with anchor threads. A bit of toungue in cheek teasing goes down well with me - but you will get it back in spades!

If you're not going to argue anymore I'm going out to play in my mobo this afternoon - watch out for a RIB leaving Cowes at about 40 knots at about 3pm

Why - do you want us to warn you when he (the HM) leaves ... to ensure he doesn't catch you doing 60 through the moorings!

Even better if towing someone

I always obey the speed limits - I didn't open her up until I was past No1 buoy.
