Where is it? - Kinda funny too

Haven't been yet this year.

Guapa on the web

I'll eat when I'm hungry
I'll drink when I'm dry
Don't boss me or cross me
Or I'll spit in your eye.

I think what I please and
I say what I mean.

Ramsgate inner harbour.

Hands up anyone who has been to Ramsgate and not cleaned their keel in the Inner Harbour somewhere - usually near the middle by that innocuous looking buoy.

I nearly did it last year.

Just scraped over.
I almost had to jack the keel up.

It is a very innocent looking buoy.

Havn't hit the lump of sand you are thinking about, but I have got stuck an hour before low water trying to get out of a berth there. Only draw 1.2m as well. Very annoying when you miss the tide like that.

I've managed to avoid grounding there so far. Plenty of time though

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

Hand up. Not in either boat, (1.7 and 2.3 m drafts!)
