BLUEMOMENT

The local rehoming kennels informed me that on the animal care courses these days it is no longer acceptable to say black or yellow labradors - it should be a dark coloured or a light coloured labrador.
Hmmm - the world has gone barking mad!!!

I will pop in past for a wee refreshment and a chat - beautiful photo by the way.

A very happy Hazard can post that she will be crewing aboard a Nicholson 36 taking part in the Classic Channel Regatta this summer sailing from Dartmouth to Paimpol and around the Channel Isles. See website http://www.classic-channel-regatta.eu/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return fals...

Hi Puddock - I work in Stonehaven and live near Laurencekirk, no boat though, but available as crew.

Sorry to hear of your accident. I hope you and Muzzy are both not too badly injured.
A hell of a finish to a mighty fine weekend.

All the best

Jill

I have booked time off work and arranged for Bill to look after the dog, so thats me sorted.
Looking forward to seeing you all then.

Any other forum members taking part in the North sea yacht race this year?

It includes saturday night accomodation but not sure about the ferry fares.

See http://www.banffstavangeryachtrace.org.uk for more info. They also mention doing a course at Banff later this year - would be closer for me - (unless it was Banff in Canada of course!!)

Cumbrae water sports centre are charging £205 for the 2 day course - quite expensive, but what price to save your life etc.

I have just put my name down as crew so I guess I will have to do the course.

Jam and butter ?

Noticed on the website for the race this year that there is a requirement for ISAF offshore personal survival training certificate to be undertaken by at least 30% of crew including the skipper. Good idea or just more beurocracy? Has anyone done the course?

Ah now Garredfox - you are just jealous. The wifie makes a fine home bake - should be a fresh scone available at about 10am tomorrow . I f you are in the area - you will have to be quick!!! They don't last long.

Re the CIH - lowly folk like me don't get invited to places like that !!

And me!!!

Gael Sail - if I am allowed to name and advertise - excellent course.

Aha - I am still to be found lurking on occasion. Have just returned from a weeks sailing on and aroond the Clyde - magnificent week. Even passed my Day Skippers - well pleased indeed. Couldn't be happier - well I could actually - more sailing!! Hope you are well - 1000 plus posts indeed - how do yo...
