Why do I volunteer...

[FullCircle]

to do this stuff?
I am getting too old for this, especially as we were bowling along off Felixstowe at the time.

Perhaps Morgana will put up the camera pics that I took from the top looking down.....

Maybe you had a hot chick on board? That usually has me volunteering for all sorts of things I wouldn't dream of doing in normal circs /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

No chicks, just a few old Walruses without a shower token between them.

By the time i had got up there, I had completely forgotten, so I took some photos instead. I hope they are nice.

You didn't volunteer.... you were just the smallest....

Don't know but I would be careful about trusting the bosuns chair after a post a few months back where someone had the chair rip while they were at the top of the mast - fortunately they had a reserve harness.

 

[Koeketiene]

And I wouldn't cross the road either - I hear some-one's been run over doing that.
It's not all doom & gloom.

Well done, Jim.

Because you were the most pissed probably /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Sounds like you had a great weekend.

 

[FullCircle]

Here is one from the opposite direction....

The chair was actually not comfortable as it had a tendency to tip forward, putting pressure on the thigh straps. Prefer my own one.

 

[Koeketiene]

Evita - our designated masthead crew - refers to the bosuns chair as the "wedgie suit". /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Rather her than me. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Hence, whenever possible, I borrow Roger's one.

As a lot of the saily things done this weekend were first's for me there was no way i was volunteering then, now or in the foreseeable future /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

thank goodness for experience crew, who can deal with rudders that have fallen off.... /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Least we know exactly how much water there is over the bar at LW now.....

Is this a new ensign?

"When 2 or more East Coast Scuttlebutters are gathered together, the shortest person present shall be flown from the starboard crosstrees...."

In the Solent version, it's the lightest person. Sometimes, really short people, like wor Jimi, can be hard to distinguish at more than 50 metres.
