If your dog is barking at the back door and your wife is yelling at the front door, who do you let in first?

I once made the mistake of querying his directions.

" Go between the Halberg & the Bavaria in the corner"

"But there isn't a space"

"So, bloody make one!"

Some how we did.

Nice idea Sailorman. I don't have a heater. Well, only a 240 v fan heater.

I could say it was CPD's aftershave??

At 40', I went in the ones designed for smaller boats last year with no problems at all..... you would fit in at 44', and if they've made 'em bigger then certainly no problems.... heed Will's comments about having a long stern line ready though..... we used a 20m line last year....

Was hoping someone would give a definition of a long line. I guess if 20 m is OK for you then 20 m will do me.

you might need slightly longer than me, as the buoy will be a little further from your stern... its not impossible to use two lines if neccessary, just be careful with not catching the knot on the loop on the top of the bouy!... saying that, i'd still think 20m was long enough....
