When I got the boat It struck me that I had taken on something huge! but when I`m out with her my stresses fade away & I`m lost in the inner peace that I feel. How lucky are we to expererience this!! Sue Does anyone feel the same?

I obviously have given the impression of whatever happens - happens! This is not the case. I will endeavour to avoid ANY sort of contact and merely wanted advice. Sue

Thanks everyone. Will keep everything crossed as I hope to `venture out` this weekend. Will take `on board` all of your advice. Using the ropes I think will be the key. They do say it`s a contact sport don`t they. One way to introduce myself to the neighbours I suppose. Sue

That was my plan originally but was concerned that I would have complaints from `neighbours` as the jetties are not quite 40ft, my boat is! I think it worked by chance only but had asked one of the marina chaps to help (this advice was suggested from one of my neighbours) got a very strange response so decided to have a go alone, doing that alot lately!

You have hit the nail......... I did have to turn her last week so she was nose first but it was driving me crazy, in the end I used the centre line and then had some help with the stern line. Want to take her out at the weekend but feel that I am now at the mercy of the weather. Thanks for your help! Sue

Many thanks to you all - I guess it really helps just knowing that it`s not that easy for the professionals either. Looking a pratt is something I`m getting used to, although (forgive me ladies!) I think it is expected as the norm for us females not to quite get things right. I will continue to `have a go` or how else am I going to get it right! Sue

Has anyone advice/tips to a fairly new boatee that is having trouble reversing her boat into the marina moorings! Can just about get there on a calm day but due to the viscious side wind just outside of the mooring it is near enough impossible to even attempt. Has to be reversed due to the lovely view from the lived in part of the boat (bow). Any advice greatfully received. Sue

Can anyone recommend a `magic` paintbrush? I`m about to repaint the roof and have many types of fine brushes but they all seem to leave brush strokes. Grateful for any advice! Thanks, Sue

Can anyone advise us on what size generator we need. Yes you`ve guessed it I`m a `newbe` & looking to buy one. It would probably only be used for a laptop, hairdryer & phone charger & if it would power the hair straighteners then that would be fine & dandy. Ta Sue

It seems to be down to whether or not the fish are biting! If they are we need to get as far away from the fishermen as possible & if they are not they want us to stir the water up for them. The polite chaps let you know. Sue

Hi Roger Many thanks for the info - I`m a `newbe` and very grateful for any advice I can get. Have been putting loadz of firelighters on just to avoid it going out. Will try it this way to cut a few costs and save on fuel! Sue
