Boat opposite SAKURA:

There's also a Nordhavn 47 that is close to us. Apparently at 02:00 this morning it was hanging onto the pontoon by one warp and heading towards us....Luckily the owner was on board (twat for not securing her properly when we all knew the storm was inbound BTW) and managed to get help to secure her again. It took a lot of time though......

@Giles How can someone with that much money invested in a hobby/lifestyle not pay attention to the single worst enemy of boating (weather)?

Astounds me that people just assume that since the boats parked that it will be safe…

[goosehd]

@Giles …also a good time to buy that boat monitoring kit

[Giles]

It's already bought

The new 8' antenna to pair with it turned up today. All will be installed next week (and I have actually fessed up to buying the antenna).

We do have Blink cameras installed and they are very good at giving me comfort. Here are a couple of images I grabbed just after dawn today....

Dollars do not equal sense.

am I reading it correct that you have added Bube & König in Nuremberg as a retailer?

[AdamJ]

@Tago-Mago yes

@AdamJ thanks, that's great news. Now I have two places within reasonable driving distance

What shirt is this?

Looks like a selvedge chambray workshirt but with black buttons and without selvedge?

[goosehd]

@Kalle It may be an IHSH-79, but I’m sure someone else will chime in to correct me if I’m wrong.

@goosehd thanks a lot! Sure looks like that one!

I glanced at the forum handle and read "Katie", and thought uh-oh @Matt is in deep shit now.....

@Giles Wouldn't that be awesome if she's selling @Matt clothes on the forum without him knowing

…where she would be thinking ‚If I sell this, will it be a divorce piece?‘

[goosehd]

@tody ...that's a good one

[Matt]

Hahahahahahaha.

Actually I should probably check my closet.

Has anyone here removed a satin liner from a baseball cap or other hat? I have a Capas brand linen cap with a satin liner and it has exactly 0% breathability and I get overheated every time I wear it. It seems easy enough to snip out of there but I’m wondering if there’s something I’m not considering.

Do you think I could get 1.5 inches with something like this?

@aimes Maybe yes, maybe no…how much have the pants been stretched already, are they new, what material are they made out of, etc. Numerous members on the forum have used them in the past with varying results.

One popped his jeans button off his pants using one (or maybe it was the car jack method).
