Another boring day at the office yesterday...

[mickrick]

Bang on!
But I tucked in around the North side of Isle de Pork Rolls for a nice relaxed night on the hook, then came out around the top, (Hence the view from Starboard.) mid afternoon for an overnight steam to Viareggio for arrival the following morning.
Coming into Viareggio. (Why anyone would want thier boat there for holidays I have no idea!)

Gits, yesterday I was doing tender runs in a 20ft Castoldi at 0200 with the 1st Officer in winds of 35 gusting 50+ knots

Where you ask? Why the glorious glamorous Golfe de St Tropez...

[mickrick]

Aye, glamour jobs eh!
Well there's always the other side of the coin. I had my head stuck in the chassis box of the Opacmare passarell yesterday. Cabins in bits with the deckheads down.
Damn thing snapped it's belt.
Talking of Italian crap, get rid of that Castoldi and get a Delta with a Hamilton in it!

She is Mariette of 1915, a Herreshoff Gaff Schooner and carries a lot of canvas when running down wind!

Awesome. And to think some people like plastic stinkboats !

Tell me about it And some of them can't see that you get what you pay for.
I've had the convesation many times with my employer, but he will not agree.
Money doesn't buy taste I'm afraid.

A bucket gauge! Good Lord man, what's the world coming to! Never in life have I seen one.

To be fair this one may be a decoy, I've yet to see it working...;)

Why would you need one? Surely you're either going forwards, backwards or you're 'hovering'?
