Don't know the exact tide info, but this's 3/4 days after a full moon, so the tide should be fairly big.

So can we see a flurry of bids on Ebay for elec horn? Incidentally, is it possible to convert auto horn for boat use?

Sorry, complete novice here, but how do we weigh the front of the trailer?

They do them at

If you can't find one, try printing it out on photo paper with waterproof ink, then cut and stick, probably not as lasting, but it'll work for the time being.

I tend not to look at the forecast till a day or 2 before, as it can vary a great deal depending on which site I'm looking at. We are due to be out on Tuesday from Lymington, keeping my fingers cross ....then again, I bet sod's law, it would be sunny and nice on Monday and Wednesday and p*ssing down in between.

Anyone told them what lovely weather we've been having?

I'll give it a good try.....

I'm booked in fir my oneday course for next monday and provided I pass (btw, is it possible to fail it?), I will be ok.

I have decided on the Navman 7100 (cos it's cheap..... ), obviously I'll need an antenna and a mount, anything else to add or are these all I need?

Couldn't find Alderney, but Jersey's prediction for tomorrow is 23 miles sw. Is that good or bad .....

How strong is your relationship? or more importantly, what's stronger? Your head or a frying pan?

With debit card there ain't a lot of protection I'm afraid. Had you paid with your credit card, any purchases in the uk (and most eu countries, I think), the credit card company is just as liable as the retailer for anything over

How many batteries have you got and what power rating? I have a 110 amp leisure battery in my boat, plus one of those power station for emergency and addtional power. Is the 110 up to it to power lights, fishfinder, vhf (when I get one), the odd cuppa, not to mention starting the outboard, plus the bilge pump in an emergency? Or should I get a smaller (85 amp) one for just the outboard and bilge pump?

I'm in, anyone wants crew? Usually what time do we finish? Got to arrange cover.
