   A tidy boat is a happy boat. When are you departing Mylor?

   I’ll be down again midweek. Thought I’d escort you to the Manacles Buoy on the 14th and take some photos of your journey into the unknown. The present forecast is for high pressure to the NW so a nice run to the Lizard and reach to the end ( or beginning ) of civilisation at Lands End but then perhaps burn the diesel on the way north for a while.

   Well, now that THAT is out of the way, you shouldn’t have deal with it again for a long, long time.

   Bon Voyage on your journey North through new waters and new friends. We expect a full report, young man, when you get back.

   Well I very much agree that it’s only a forecast. The forecasters may have been Leicester City Fans though. See you when you come down for the BIG SENDOFF :-)

    You CAN get away with trailing a rope astern…………….. as long as you dont select reverse!

    It’s happened to me twice recently, once my jib halyard coil came off the cleat and the other time part of the anchor rope fell overboard. Fortunately I only have a 2hp outboard so it just stalled without much harm done. I hope I’ve learnt my lesson…to secure all lines adequately.

    Done that with my old engine , actually ran better afterwards. it snapped the 12mm rope. As I was on the Thames, no tide to dry out on, so it was under the boat in my boxers with a leatherman.

    A number of boats here in the US have line-cutters attached to their props or prop-shafts. Even if they don’t cut clean-through, they’ll cut enough of the line for the engine to stall-out rather than come to an instantaneous and potentially-lethal (for the engine) crash-stop.

    Most outboards have prop shear-pins. I never understood why inboards don’t have similar protection at the transmission-end of the shaft.
