'Passing wind' ....what do you think fellow boaters?
Unsure how a distress call would be handled though:
"mayday Mayday Mayday, this is passing wind, we are sinking"
"sorry sir say again"
"this is passing wind, we need assitance"
all i hear is a bunch of folk laughing then rears off over the radio

What's your baby called then?
It came as 'La Magdalena' which I thought was quite nice so I kept it 
However another boat I looked at was called 'Willy' - defo time for a new name!
Mine was called 'Chipster'....
I relaunched, with champagne and all, calling her 'Scant Reward'.
She's a Sun Odyssey, hence Homer, Odysseus, journey home, long slog, things different, etc.

A quick Google Images tells me that looks very nice. But I have no idea what all the sticky-out bits are for; it seems far too much hard work. And the sea is full of scary things - like waves, reefs and supertankers...LukeSi said:
You should rename it to Pistonheads. But sneakily put an HMS prefix before it. Then you would be sailing the HMS Pistonheads. Oh and put massive PH smileys on the boat 
Sadly they declined to sponsor it...But 'heads' on a boat is the toilet. HMS PistonBog.

Supertankers are slow and easy to avoid; it's the express container boats you want to watch for whizzing along at 25+ knots(46kph for lubbers).Simpo Two said:

And the sea is full of scary things - like waves, reefs and supertankers...Yeah, we still haven't worked out what all the bits of string do yet, we think some of them make the flappy canvas move or something.
We just turn the key on the noisy motor thing that makes it move, seems to do the trick.
