Afloat
Launching on Monday went very smoothly, an hour on a mooring at Barcaldine to bend on some sails and round to Dallens Bay by mid afternoon. Looking good in her new paint and everything important seems to be working. In our second season at Linnhe Marine we even seem to have been promoted, no longer are we at the far end of the outermost rank of moorings. All good.

Interesting, we've been moved further in too. Do some folk get cast into the outer darkness or do the innermost boats disappear into a black hole?Green Boat wrote:Launching on Monday went very smoothly, an hour on a mooring at Barcaldine to bend on some sails and round to Dallens Bay by mid afternoon.

Re: Afloat
My current theory is that it's related to hull colour. As you go further out the proportion of white boats rises. A black hole may well be involved, I will ask my boat partner who is a physics teacher to trade and knows all about relativity and stuff.Flobbets wrote:Interesting, we've been moved further in too.

Re: Afloat
Hmm. I appear to have been demoted off to the north from my previous centre stage position. I note also that Shard seems to occupy the same mooring as last season. What can it all mean?

Re: Afloat
It's all to do with pecking order. Anyway, we, The Illuminatii, decide who goes where. Next year, a bottle of Jura's finest left in Shard's cockpit may prevent your banishment to the Outer Regions of the Fifth Dimension.Silkie wrote:Hmm.
