Re:Banjaxed Skeg Wire !
<t>Excellent advice Conal, it makes great sense to reverse the cable. I\'ve since dismantled the skeg and removed the wire. I\'ve ironed out the kinks as best I can manually and liberally lubed with the magic ingredient \"Mr. Sheen\" Furniture Polish......this has worked wonders !!! The whole Skeg a...

Re:valley hachcovers
<t>Hi Colin. You might consider investing in a bottle of 505 protectant. It will double the lifespan of your new hatch covers. Basically spray it on every few months and it protects the hatch cover from UV damage and salt damage. It stops the cover from cracking up so to speak. It also makes the cov...

Re:Repeat of Lyme Regis disaster near miss
<r>Yes not the best combination in the world to have learner kayakers and an off shore wind.

Re:Repeat of Lyme Regis disaster near miss
<t>Couldn\'t agree with you more Martin. We are fast approaching the summer holidays. All the kids, mine included are looking at various summer camps. A lot of them do \"Kayaking\" as part of their \"Camp package\".<br/> Putting a load of kids onto \"sit on\'s\" with basic equipement is one thing. A...

Re:Lost phone numbers.
<t>Hi Martin.....bummer about your phone. Since we had that wet session in sea water I\'m afraid that the reincarnation of your phone is unlikely. If it was immersed in fresh water then no problem.....dry it out strip it down remove battery pack and sim and place in hot press for 24 hours, combine t...

Re:Streamstown. June 4,5+6
<t>I\'m there Martin. Will probably bring the family in tow. Looking forward to the meal Saturday night providing Peter doesn\'t put barnacles in the sauce.<br/> Doolin rescue is a great charity and god knows Matty needs the money in these times of cut backs !!<br/> <br/> Can\'t wait !!!!Post edited...
