He is very witty isn't he, I would like to buy the bloke a pint one day, I bet an evening spent chatting with him would be quite pleasant.

Is "Small Craft Advisor" a publication, I don't think I have heard of it before?
Seminole.

Brilliant. Loved this bit

"She is basically a motorboat hull
with a stick on it—a short stick. She is a classic four-knot
excrement box. As for what attracted me to the Slug ... price, separate
heads, inboard, price, sits upright on the mud—made
before the French invented osmosis."

"The view from my cockpit is just as good as that from a £50k boat."

In fact, it is probably better, because I can look at his boat & he has to look at mine. :tiphat:
