WTF - why no posts?

Post by Nick »

.
I know loads of you are out sailing, so I expected to see lots of accounts of interesting voyages with sumptuous photos of exotic locations.

Instead there is a deathly silence, even though I have slaved away to bring youse all the very latest in forum sophistication.

The only post since the upgrade was to complain about spammers. Yer an ungrateful bunch of misanthropes. :horseflog

Several times I did try to post the most erudite and sparkling pearls but every time the software rejected my efforts. Glad you got it sorted.

Looking forward to reading more of your pearls now your excuse has gone . . . .

Glad I didn't attempt to fit your gearbox btw, as I now have one festering in the lazarette in Portugal. It will probably end up going over the side i deep water.

On another matter, is is called a lazarette because long lost things found in it come back from the dead?

Still a lot to do. Hoping for an early August launch and a few weeks trip West before returning to the sunny boat.

Out of mobile range in the nobbly bits of Skye. Scavaig is fantastic, but I wont hang around in there next time the forecast goes south 5-7.

I do like the upgrade, has a soothing roundness about the icons. I feared lack of posting on here is due to promiscuous behaviour of some posting on ToP. The spat about how busy it is out west and who said what to whom would be better on here and they can really go at it hammer and tongs.

I see it no busier than usual, and the no wind high pressure usually accompanied by clear skies and 20+ degrees is high pressure, no wind, grey drizzle, fug and 12 degrees. A bit sickening when Judith says its brilliant everywhere on the tranny.

You need to think positively. The trolls and mods have effectively done in YBW, which is a great shame, but could open up new horizons for Blue Moment and its media mogul owner.

Aye, right.

Where are the disgruntled hordes? Not beating a path to this door, are they?

Are you on the boat just now or at home?

We're now sitting in L Maddy. The rest of the country may be experiencing some pleasant weather but I can assure you that here it is cold wet and very windy.

I believe we've also experienced all the highs L Maddy had to offer.

The Rival 36 that left at 09:15 this morning has just reappeared.
