The facts are those chicks are hot!

Everything else, mere details.

Thank you for the Friday facts, Pogen.

Good work!

My best man brought by a very nice bottle of port upon the birth of my daughter.

That is something that can be put down for decades and be more than merely drinkable.

So when you are rounding the marks on the new maxi.... and one of the crew of tens pitches some left over bits into the sea...

 

Who calls in and withdraws?  Owner, boat captain, navigator?

The offending crew member in full sight of the rest of the crew.

I am a huge fan of radar too.

Problem is the immense drain on the batteries.

It is a powerful tool, but not a necessity.

In heavy fog situations you must adapt your watch systems.

First is knowing your position accurately, cross checking independent sources of gps/loran/depth.

Second is knowing the position of that which can be a problem, depthsounder for the continent, active listening and conversing with marine traffic on the marine traffic channel.

The biggest issue is entrance and exit to Winter Harbour and Ukee. As long as you are not first there should be someone to follow.
