Rob-M Posted June 3, 2022 Report Posted June 3, 2022 Who has a new sleeping bag...? Passer by just told us the "barge in front has picked up a sleeping bag". 35 minutes ago, TheBiscuits said: The open route ... Perhaps the bit we are on should be closed.

Now, I don't know which spelling she has used... Richard Well Team Delhi's scoresheet will be spelt the way her name is spelt on the side of the boat, on the CRT database and on the 1930 gauging records (among dozens of other official documents) I will double check I didn't make a typo on our entry form (because even the best can make a mistake) but I certainly wouldn't have used two different spellings on the form. None of the other boats have a choice of two spellings offered. Why do we have an additional hoop to jump through? 3 minutes ago, Rob-M said: Who has a new sleeping bag...?

RLWP Posted June 3, 2022 Report Posted June 3, 2022 Withymoor have put on a tremendous effort for the challenge. Lots of moorings, marquees with tables and chairs, Ma Pardoes beer, burgers sausages and chips. Sue gets the clubhouse to interrogate the competitors so the screaming won't distract the revellers Withymoor are a small group, they've really put a great effort into greeting challenge boaters Richard 4

The Bearwood Boster Posted June 3, 2022 Report Posted June 3, 2022 6 hours ago, cheshire~rose said: His quote was "Nipples like bullets" He went in to get the remains of the Ikea bag we had clearly not fully cleared this morning and found what appeared to be strands of unravelled foam backed carpet .... Cut tons of the stuff off, got out, started the engine to check it felt right..it did Fantastic Then suddenly, 20 seconds later...it didn't feel right... So he went back in and took a duvet off that we had collected in the 20 seconds running to test it! Nipples like bullets should be a visit from Heidi Manning !!!
