Not a typo,  if you blast a cow with the pressure washer it might damage the leather,   I used one once on a convertible and it cut through the roof.

I watched Coastal Defenders the other evening, and the divers were using  a water-jet cleaner some 1000 times more powerful than your average Karcher. The lead diver said they have to be pretty careful not to get in the way of the jet as it would cut a limb clean off.

I can believe that,  Ive cut a toe with my Karcher K5,   I now make sure to wear shoes when cleaning the patio and drive.

From what I saw,  he came out of Ipswich and spent the night at Walton On The Naze,   hugging the coast Walton on the Naze back to the mooring measures 80km.

Not a bad little trip then.  Hopefully, he was able to sail part of the way and didn't have to motor the whole trip.

Perhaps a step ladder would help


Just watched the boat launch,  they had a little issue as only one engine was running.

Did the drone record the event?

I recorded some footage.  Hopefully it will be ok.  The sun is rather harsh at the moment.

Dull and damp here but no rain.

There are some benefits to that.  It keeps the crazy drunk ladies at home,  I’ve just crossed to avoid one that’s screaming at anything that moves.

She's obviously started early.

Indeed. Sadly I couldn’t make out what she was screaming as it was so slurred.

I thought everyone would know who Baz lurman was

DAFlys Posted at 9-14 00:41
I thought Id mentioned to you before about Baz Luhrmann.

Now that you said it, it actually popped up right into my mind. Didn't remember it the moment when I first wrote my reply, but that has been corrected now

DAFlys Posted at 9-14 01:12
I would have hoped so.   Im a bit disappointed be didnt reply to the email but I can see the file was downloaded.

Well if he downloaded it you'd have thought he would have at least acknowledged it.  Even a short reply would have been nice.  Oh well, maybe he got tied up doing something shortly after downloading and hasn't got back to it yet.

Im racking my brains,  not sure if Ive ever seen that boat with sails up,   I will need to have a think about that.

Yes,  so would I have.    Great poem.

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt but wont be sending him any more if I dont hear from him.

I know of a couple of sailboat owners that seem to want to motor everywhere.  I'd be asking myself why I bought a sailboat if all I want to do is motor.  

Sailing can be really fun.

Doesn't make much sense to me, especially if you are in open water.

Exactly, why else have a sail on your boat.

I think I now remember the main points of the song, but good to know if I need to jog my memory

The sail also helps stabilise the boat from rocking too.

You should learn it,  the song could help your English.

DAFlys Posted at 9-16 22:46

Very true. I still maintain if you are going to have a sailboat you need to put the sail up as often as possible and also when you can do it safely.

I totally agree,  although I doubt im going to see much action today due to the weather.

Yeah, that type of weather would preclude lots of people and boats being out and about for sure.

There was nothing out there.       Here's a tiny clip  https://imgur.com/a/M1MP9Cz

It played well.  Nothing out there but rough waves.

Maybe I ought to check if it's available on Spotify and add it to my playlist.

It was also generating a massive amount of foam,  which came ashore like snow.

As long as that doesn't scare you.

Sea foam is really extraordinary.

We made it back to the car and got in,   and the wind was rocking the car like there were people on each corner,  and we couldnt see much due to the sea form stains on the windows.   Thats my job for this morning is to clean it.
