You could be right..... :D

I won't get to play with the Davits though..... just too much stuff to get in the car, and the tender has lost out....

We're not going until tommorrow AM now either.... its blowing its proverbials off here......

4 stainless bolts to saw through which are in an absolutely impossible place - contemplating using an angle grinder but worried that the sparks might do some damage.

I've got a new cube computer which is going to replace the laptop so I'm doing a bit of woodbutchery to get that in place

Dear Heart is away with her sister for the day so I'll have to brew up as well - drat and tarnation.
what happened to sailing with wee Jim this weekend? Did the good lady Bev assert herself and keep him to herself?

Thinking of a quick sail in the Gareloch/ Clyde tomorrow bu depends on how much work I get done today and state of the wind. Leaving her on the water with mast up etc. seems to have played merry hell with the electrics - masthead light stopped working and port and starboard lights gone as well.

Now that's very interesting - I take it that it's one of these 12V, direct off the boat battery jobs? Does it have a hard disc or flash memory? I've been thinking about one of these. What are you using for a screen?

17 ins flat screen - Muzzy reckons I need a device that will ensure a constant electricity supply as I will lose the backup. I'll let you know the spec when I find it - Para thinks I'm daft.
