Going sailing at Latsi...  cloud9:


So how long before you get your own boat?

Saw lots of Jolly Boats, Gin Palaces and had some decent wind too!

https://photos.app.goo.gl/744kB5WFg38ChzmE6


I could never understand boating til I read an interview with David Coulthard who explained how no one you don’t like can pester you

If I was a fishing person AND IF I had a spare million (or maybe two) sailing with engine power might be very tempting

The two guys I go with are very enthusiastic sailors - one (the owner of the boat) sails every day...

It doesn't do the same thing for me, I don't really get it. There is a huge amount of fiddling, winding in and letting out just to get from A to B. But that seems to be the 'fun' for them...

I enjoy the day out every now and again... and I'm learning which rope (sheet?) to pull in or let out to stop the bleddy thing being blown over. But like you, if I decided to take to the sea I would have a bleddy big engine or three under the deck to get me around...

It was Force 5 today and we went the fastest I'd ever been in a sailing boat but bizarrely, we were the only people out there under sail.
Oh noes has to be engine power

or maybe a dozen serfs below rowing away.  Maybe Darwin could advise on the practicalities of such
How many would you like?

Depends if you want any of the last batch returned.  Have to say judging by the smell some of them may be a little dead.  Was I supposed to feed and water them?

That is optional. Often you only find the biggest one left in the cage.

Unless you’re catching a ferry Newhaven is a bit of a one hour town

Loads to do in and around Brighton, much of it legal

Go for a walk on Devil's Dyke?  Have an amazing veggie meal at Terre a Terre?  Have an amazing meaty meal at Dig in the Ribs (Hove)? Go up the BA tower? Sit and Totty watch having coffee in one of the many cafe's?  Explore 'The Lanes' (overrated though imho), Royal Pavilion?

But Newhaven?  IIRC it has an old fort other than that just somewhere to drive through on route to either Dieppe or Alfriston

Blimey. An old mate of mine just called. He is 52, has jacked in his job and is off to Rome for four years to train as a priest.  Shocked: Shocked:

I didn't even know he was Catholic  eeek:
