I don't know how Santa thinks is treat my boat becasue I got sail repair tape, spinnaker reapair tape and some glass fibre as stocking fillers  You would have though it would at least have been some carbon fibre. ------------- Ross If you can't carry it, don't sail it! |

Especially when I have a hole in my side tank (trapeze hook ) and a tare in my spinnaker . I got a wetsuit/steamer in october as an early present, another usful one. Better than that lunch box I got a few years ago from my uncle, and that scissor set my sister got from an aunt...------------- Ross If you can't carry it, don't sail it! |

i got a bike pump and some thermals, i did get a steamer and new gloves earlier this month as well. the steamer is very warm, and so are the gloves. i haven't had a safety boat duty yet so i don't know about the thermals. Just wondering how long the ike pump will last though, i have a habbit of pulling them apart so we will see. We are going to relations in Doncster and Essex from Friday onwards though so we shall see what we get there. I have a feeling there is a pop rivetter waiting for me somewhere ------------- 600 732, will call it Sticks and Stones when i get round to it. Also International 14, 1318 |

Not that funny but it made me smile a bit - an Automatic Shoe Buffer. Now if it really was automatic, ie it would realise on Sunday night that my work shoes needed a polish, took itself out of the cupboard, gave the shoes a quick once-over and put itself away then it would be a nice little gadget. Also got half my own body weight in biscuits, when really I could do with dropping a kg or two for the Moth. ------------- RS600 1001 |
