Thinking about buying a boat

[Octoplus]

 Have been looking for a boat for weekend leisure purposes for some time when I came across THIS beauty, it is a tad larger that I had intended so I will need a few volunteer crew if anyone is interested   :p

[john999boy]

I'll come but only if I get to sit in the posh chair!

[westerdam2]

Can I book in as the Vice Admiral ie guy i/c vice?

No medals for the uniform but swmbo saw my Blue Peter badge in the loft the other week and has gone to look.

  That's the top brass sorted then, what about the lower ranks, we need someone to whip the slaves in the galley , a few trades to keep her trim and catering staff would be nice.

I was worried about the barnacle scraping, it is after all quite large but I see the Navy have been trialling a new "bottom scraping " method in Scotland this week which also has the advantage of drawing the sightseers and providing publicity.

It will also have to be somewhat wetter than the A449 to Tamworth so I would advise bringing a plastic mac with you.

As long as we get the matelots, I think we'll head out to Thailand as it's got nice weather this time of the year. That's presuming we are debarnacled first though.

Done, we'll have to find you a badge later, some twit just added a bid so I'll have to open the piggybank again and see how many pennies there are left.

Reading the Q+A's it seems someone has already come up with plans for Blair,Brown and Darling ............. it was either the keel hauling question or they had to scrape barnacles, can't remember which there are so many comments.

Problem solved for a little extra outlay for when we're there:- here.

It's just the getting there that could be a problem.

I wonder what it will remap to

[Hairy Chris]

One things for sure, I ain't swabbing the deck.

Git a rough idea of the bad bits round the Isle of Skye ( was thinking of putting in for a jib as a consultant with HM Navy) -so can possibly advise in those parts .

You can be the plank if you want

[octaviaconvert]

Will you be able to afford to run it on shell optimax or BP Ultimate. Think of the outcry on here if you ran it on supermarket diesel

[john999boy]

I've found out where to fill it up:-

Unfortunately you're too late! See #2!

I won't construe it as mutiny at this time though.
