zenataomm 1199 Report post #3 Posted March 29 Just had a go, I think more reality could be added like ... Fisher'ists sitting on the moorings Locks being reversed in your face as you approach A bladeful at the exact moment you commit to turning into the marina Doggy doo where you tie and untie your ropes I have to say I thought it very good and the responses quite realistic.
