Ah but it might guarantee that you don't need to do anything worse than rafting up

I bought one this morning - XM braid on braid £1.35 a metre. Bet it's more at Fox's for any bit of string. It may get recycled for other jobs.

Don't believe everything you think.

Interesting old books

I hope you lighten up for the trip to Ostend, or you will be a proper downer on the party.

I was stopped within 50yds of leaving the lock at Flushing, by the Customs cutter cruising in the inner basin. I would not suggest that anybody carries red in cans anywhere near the dutch coast.

Like Bernie, my tankage capacity is relatively small, I would not cross the NS without some reserve fuel.

Happy boating.

If your dog is barking at the back door and your wife is yelling at the front door, who do you let in first?
> The dog, of course. He'll shut up once you let him in.

Bernie,
Popeye and I will be coming up to Ostend for the boating event of the year, and could ferry peeps and cans between boats and petrol stations

We now have a 'Taxi' lined up for anyone needing to go get fuel. Available Friday evening, Saturday Morning, and Saturday evening. Sort of. I believe the 'Taxi' owner runs on Red himself. Wine that is.
So no walking, just whingeing about the price of diesel
Grumble,Grumble.

Apply to SV Full Circle.
