Lets kill all the lawyers Lets kill them tonight

Someone needs to slap a preservation order on that boat, it’s a historically significant interior... Even has clean mouse fur on the walls... When our eldest son asked the inevitable question about the circumstances of his conception, we started with “well, there was this really soft shag pile carpet on the floor”. Too much information, we didn’t have to go any further....

A giant Mac 26? i suspect it would be a big hit on the market, somewhere the Euro boats havn’t ventured yet

It’s just all about the udders...

You can tell Frankie her grandmas bilge leak has stopped sent me nuts trying to find it but eventually turned out to be a leaking ballvalve on a side hose to the engine water intake one of those things a PO wanted to use to pump out bilge water via the engine cooling, but ended up being a good way to scuttle the boat. its blanked off now. it was complicated by the bilge pump wiring which needed the batteries switched on for the auto function to work. at least i get to fix that in a dry bilge now.

I don’t recall seeing the Brick House vids on this thread. Proper cruisers who know their stuff and share a lot of practical experience. This is the only vid I have ever seen about Rodriguez https://youtu.be/qLSXkTxLRzM

That’s right, even a small bit of shade makes the panel output drop dramatically. you should be fine out of the shade.

Enough with the rugby jokes...

I have noticed an inverse relationship between the cost of a wedding, and the duration of the marriage. There were a couple of weddings I would have happily paid $1500 not to attend....

I suspect the uranium figures would be less attractive if you figure in the weight of shielding and reactors...

Seriously Ed, she is someone’s daughter, and may be under age. This sort of thing could lead to long term damage.

Looks tidy down there Kim. More things I forgot, two complete sets of Line 7 dorlon wet weather gear including a repair kit, a whole boat library including Jimmy Cornell and Nigel Calder. A PO had built a gas locker inside the rear of the cockpit well with two large gas bottles that only drained into the cockpit, so that is gone as well. Just received the invoice for a new standing rig, so that is good news. Motor kicked over first try, so that’s good too. Sails are off at the loft being serviced, we will be dangerous in a couple of weeks.

Sorry, that’s it, the rest are over the magic 1meg limit.. I also forgot a whole pile of 240v power tools, a circular saw, two Sabre saws, a 4” grinder, a sander, a wet vac, multiple power extensions, a 240 volt system I have refused to use, the original 12v wiring system which still mostly works.

A few pics if SA lets me post them
