Sounds like you're getting used to the name, Black Bat Blobby! Christmas, eh... I'm trying to convince Contender443 to buy me a boat. He got me the Aquafleece and trapeze boots at the weekend, plus a harness a few weeks ago: he's GOT to get me the boat next! Oh, and a steamer wetsuit, and winter sailing gloves, and disc brakes for my bike, and a laptop, errr... possibilities are endless
Oh, and a book! I get half a library every year, so why change the tradition? ------------- http://www.lancingsc.org.uk/index.html - Lancing SC

Ooooooh - a philanthropist. How refreshing.
(OK now someone will tell me I've got the wrong word but at least I spelt it correctly!) At our club we have a wind switch by the bar - it is the responsibility of the last boat off the water to turn the wind off so we can save what precious little of it we get for next weekend. Must get somebody to look at the wiring because the damn thing never works.... |

I orrigionally heard it on a Sunsail holiday, but when I came back home it grew as we told the little oppy sailors that if they wandered near the lake without a lifejacket then the seabadgers would get them .
