I have been called Jinxy for many years. I'm begining to see why.

I'm telling my Mum ! - - - - You're all picking on me !

That was another of my mates. She was in her 70's. He was eventually helped onto the ferry. They were sailing an X class dinghy. The ferry blocked their wind and left them helpless. Never drift towards the ferry. Always away from it. Jim

O.K. Silly season's here again. My turn now ! Two Crocodiles were sitting at the side of Lake Burley Griffin in Canberra . The smaller one turned to the bigger one and said, 'I can't understand how you can be so much bigger than me. We're the same age, We were the same size as kids. I just don't get it.' 'Well,' said the big Croc, 'what have you been eating?' 'Politicians, same as you,' replied the small Croc. 'Hmm. Well, where do you catch them?' 'Down the other side of the lake near the parking lot by the Parliament House.' 'Same here. Hmm.....How do you catch them?' 'Well, I crawl up under one of their Lexus cars and wait for one to unlock the car door. Then I jump out, grab them by the leg, shake the shit out of them and eat 'em!' 'Ah!' says the big Crocodile, 'I think I see your problem. You're not getting any real nourishment. See, by the time you finish shaking the shit out of a Politician, there's nothing left but an arsehole and a briefcase.

Or get someone to copy them onto a USB memory stick.

I'll be following this one ! Steel bits in salty stuff - - - - not good. Jim

My ex-boss, an experienced Yachtie was on the telly after having the ferry chains nearly tear the rudder off his yacht. The RNLI had to go and rescue them and it was all caught on film.

I should have taken the time to fit those when I changed the brake shoes. I dread to think what state my brakes are in now. They have only been in there about 12 months and in the sea 3 - 4 times. Salt's good on Chips but not on Brakes. Jim

There is the risk that someone could cause a problem in front of the ferry, which then makes the ferry stop or slow down. This can cause the chains behind the ferry to be pulled tighter and come nearer the surface. If in any doubt, stay a good distance away from it. Jim
