Thus some 60% involve sober skippers - the moral of the story? Only sail with a drunken skipper its safer!

Good things statistics eh!

Good one Walrus! Though somewhat convoluted.

Been busy lately here. I'll be in England to visit my lady for a couple weeks. Her best friend lives in Bath. We'll be there several days. Maybe we could hook up for a pint or two. Send me a PM with email address if you want to.

Take care.

Tim

Mike,

I'm getting over this Wednesday. We'll be in Bath around Dec. 9 - 12 or so.

Eh timgoz! is that the dumbest move you could come up with Getting in a bath with two ladies doesn't sound like such a bad move unless you're not up to it...

Recent news cast (actually heard it before it was on the news) on one of our local dams. Some DFI build this boat house, double story and hire out for parties etc. Also looking at these mentalities, these guys build to save on materials, they use ie drums etc to save costs. Now what happened was the thing took off, with a strip show on the upper level and 71 souls crowding the 'area'. Now what happens if all of the crew gets on the top of the mast ?

Anyway, the thing rolled over to cool the show down a bit. Te-he, the 'owner' assured the Tv crew every one was handed a life jacket. Have you ever seen a strip show where every one had a life jacket on ? Maybe the term 'life jacket' was used a bit out of proportion...

Anyway, there was nobody to interview apart from the owner, seems the shipwrecks all just disappeared...
