Dieselwind - fantastic! I'll be using that myself! (I may forget to credit you sometimes!)

Blew really well here on Saturday. A steady 7 knots (9 over the ground) out of a 27 footer with half a tiny Jib and 2/3 of the main. And all the time in shorts and t-shirt.

Complete Bollix as usual, the correct quote is "Useless, unless you are stupid enough to fall overboard"

I mean, what use is it to wear a lifejacket if you don't fall in the water?

[harlekin]

I don't wear a lifejacket, for one hand sailors not usefull, in case falling into the water, you still alive 5 minutes more.

my present position is Crosshaven, mayby until monday

[harlekin]

It was a beatiful trip today sailing about 150 nautikel miles from Crosshaven to St. Marys, Scilly Isles.

the next weeks I am visit several port at the southcoast of England.
I am gradful to get some useful informations and have the orportunety to meet some of the member of this forum

[harlekin]

2 days in Penzance, tomorrow I would like to go to Falmouth, I am looking for a comfortable habour, it is time to wash clothes, get electric power

[harlekin]

where are the britain sailors , meet for a talk and a beer, I am in Falmouth now, next port is Plymouth

[Arghiro]

Most of those on here are based in Scottish waters. You could try YBW for more S coast sailors, but many will be at work most of the day.

[harlekin]

Now, I am sailing from Portsmouth east, to Brighton, Dover and Ramsgate

You've certainly covered some ground, and I suppose you are now entering the "home straight". How has it been so far?

A problem by my self

I lost my Dinghi on the 4th of August on the way from Dartmouth to Swanage, South of Portland in heavy sea appr. 18:00.
I searched for it, but no result.

Next day, the 5th of August, I listen to VHF Portland Costguard, there got a report from a boat " finding a small inflatable Dinghi at
position 50°26,86'N; 002° 06,21'W
The Dinghi is white, whith a blue stripe round, Plastimo, the name of the Producer

I called back to Portland Coastguard, for information, it is my Dinghi and send a foto per e-mail.
They confirmed and tried to find it.

You will find the foto of the Dinghi in the capital page of my Blog http://harlekin2011.blogspot.com/


If anywhere have an information from somewhere, I am very glad to get an information

Mayby Nick make a spezial Thead in this forum
