Yes . . . it was that picture of you looking cool or a drowned kite :shock:

There are still a few broken avatars from the last server move, so I have taken it upon myself to help those who don't avail themselves of our vast avatar library :mrgreen:

Thanks Nick. The drowned kite will be no more as I've fitted a new jammer on the coach roof.
Are you doing any courses out of Ardrossan? I spotted West Bound Adventurer on the hard with her nice new anti fouling. Strange looking keel on that boat.

It's a Warwick Collins Tandem Wing Keel. Lower centre of gravity, reduced draft, less pitching motion in a seaway. I'm a fan.

I'm running a course out of Ardrossan April 10 - 15 if there are enough bookings - and if I get revalidated on the course I am going on later this month :shock:

15th is the start of the Scuttlebutt Cruise, will you be attending? I've asked a couple of sailing friends along so might be full but I'm sure you could get squeezed in somewhere. It would be a good way of getting home again if you come by train.

That would be perfect. I'm sure if I can scrounge passage to Cumbrae someone will be able to put me up. Is that a goer then?

Yes no problem, I might have room for you but I'll let you know nearer the time. I'm waiting on a couple of confirmations and that might even change near the time if the weather looks iffy

I quite fancy it, and intend to be there. Mme S is not fully committed at the moment, so could be plenty of space.

Have you asked social services for assistance? It can take some time depending on postcode, but if you keep nagging they will eventually capitulate.
