Seeing as I'm likely to be stuck at home tomorrow* I thought I might update my computer, run the defrag and do some housekeeping.
So where is the February wallpaper to download?

February is the only month of the year which can officially vary in length between 28 and 29 days.
If you've followed the posts on some of the previous calendars, then you'll know that Nick has some difficulties getting the correct number of days in the months which don't change so February might take some time to work out.
Our only hope is that Garrelfox had made up little yellow cards ( post-its? ) with the correct info.

You got loads of nice pix last time you asked, probably enough for the whole of 2009.
So no excuses there!

Approachable maybe, but would you get through with a 35 yr old MD6A engine?

No particular criteria AFAIK other than that the pic has to appeal to Nick and ideally should have a featurelessish corner for the calendar itself.
Oh - and it should be nautical.

Jim, I have pm-ed you.
Julian, thanks very much, both fine pictures but I prefer Jim's for this month. Have you got any of your vessel under sail? There has been an almost total dearth of multihulls featured in the last six years calendars.

Mersea quarters or Burnham on Crouch, probably the later close to the Royal Corinthian YC

Is it about the right time to start posting suggestions for the March calender?

Yes dammit, and my weedy photos dont meet your brawny specifications.
I will turn up the wick on the new Fuji, as I have now fgot over the novelty of having 880 photos capacity on the card in standard quality.
Is it not time you got a card with more capacity then?
