Oh yeah, spending the winter with the Stazi and the KGB was such fun. Right up there with Glustuk.
I think we all have stories of stupid interior design cock-ups. The well known one of the large white grand piano chasing 8 crew around the...
Murals on yachts do not work. Trompe d'oeil is the preferred medium. K1W1 will know of some large works we had to fit to a large boat, very...
Darn, I got all the questions wrong. Do I have to step back almost 30 years and become a steward again? :D
Here in Guernsey we have an Aero engineer who has built his own Cat, about 42 foot, that is wind powered. No sails involved, it has a rotating...
Bulls-eye Marmot. :D
Ed, why 2 throttles and 2 gears (that makes 4 if you've been out tonight :D ). Please give the nice one out of the outfit a Valentine kiss from...
Ed, Yeah, yeah. Been there, done that. I've always spun the boats on the thottles so easily, even backed down over a reef on a wave (very proud...
How can you call that ugly? It does what it says on the tin, it's a Tuna Tower. Probably a Pipewelder's one that is the best in the biz. Just...
Again, I ask why the need for two sets? The rest of the world gets by with a double action set. Am I missing something? :confused:
Hey Ed, I like varnishing, maybe its an Antiguan thing? Too many wooden boats in my past or my genes, I guess. Have varnish-brush, will travel....
Now that's a proper boat, just as they should be.
Good news Bill, They may have found loads of Crude Oil there, so we may have 2 Chavez-type trouble makers in our waters....
To be honest Bill, I think the Castro regime is dying on its ass. Fidel's brother, Raul (now President) was in Moscow last week holding out...
A little boy runs into the kitchen. 'Mummy, Mummy why is my Yankee's shirt lying in the dirt?' 'Oh no' said Mom 'They've stolen the clothes...
Nero looks just a 'happy' boat, just enjoying being afloat.
Another boat I skippered had Glendenning Hydro controls, with twin controls. I've never worked out why you need two sets of sticks? :confused:
As a buck-toothed smelly with glasses, I spent 12 years as a top steward on Superyachts. It's not how you look, its all about charm. Do you...
I skippered one boat that had MicroCommander electronic controls on 92DD's. No touch. No instinct. You cannot 'feel' what you are doing,...
I think I'm in love. Eyes meet across a crowded marina and there she was. I'll admit it there is a height difference but we can work around...
