Keep in mind that if Donal tried to go 30 miles offshore, he'd hit
France.


Idiot!!!

Well, yeah, we already established that.


The last person who made that dumb mistake was Jax!!!!!

Stick to English literature. You know nothing about geography. Cherebourg
is my nearest French port, and it is 74 nautical miles from Portsmouth
Harbour entrance.

Oh well a little over 2X the distance. Still not very far really.

You don't do the nav on your big, polluting, ship - do you?

How's the backyard veggie garden going, Donal? Have you stopped eating
imported food and using imported fossil fuels yet? Own/drive a car made
in England? Was your Bendy made locally or imported?

BTW, your 'frozen snot' boat is made from petrochemicals that were
undoubtedly transported by big, polluting ships. Perhaps you should
give it back and build your own environmentally friendly ship yourself,
using native timbers or other local materials.

Oh that's right - you can't. You trashed your ecosystem a couple
centuries ago and have been surviving by importing ever since.

Bwahahahahahahahaaaaaaa!

Indeed. Your hypocrisy is entertaining.

Closer than you think - Cherbourg is less than 60 miles from St. Catherine's on
the Isle of Wight. If you went 30 miles out you'd be more than half way to
France. Donal complains about your geography, but he considers the Portsmouth
Harbour entrance, which is about 8 miles up the Solent, to be "offshore."

But this brings up a question: at what point is one "Offshore"? Is it off
soundings? Out of sight of land? In the US it could be the 3-mile line, or the
ColRegs line (dividing Inland from International Rules). For license purposes
on the US East Coast, 10 miles out is still "Inland", out to 200 miles is
Near-Coastal, further out is Offshore.

Nutsy;

I hope some one; some where; at some time, explained the FIRE TRIANGLE
to you!

By closing up the Cabin you are probably creating a very large BOMB!
After closing the Companion Way, You better be damn sure Air (Oxygen)
isn't allowed to enter again!

Hey Nutsy,

Do you store that Hatch Board in the Cockpit? Most people that have
Hatch Board store them below where they would be engulfed in the Fire!!!

They are stored below so as not to be lost overboard. Please tell us
where you keep yours and how you secure it and we'll look for it in your
pictures that you have posted. :^)

Sealing off a fire is key for fighting it. One of my best friends for the last
18 years is a fireman for the FDNY and he agreed with the idea of closing the
hatch as a final line of defense.

Nutsy,

A three piece hatchboard is the better of companion way closure. It
allows better storage (easier) You can add a single board to increase
the height of the bridge deck. You can add the top & bottom boards and
duce tape plastic screening over the middle for ventilation. The single
Fibre glass Hatch board is the cheapest but far from being the best.

Anybody that would store an anchor behind the mast on the coach roof
probably stows his hatchboard(s) in the anchor locker.

I was mistaken, I have 4 boards. MacGregors have one big FG board. Nuff

Nutsy,

If your friend in the NYFD advices sealing the fire, please have him
explain the need for Fire Axes on their trucks.

Nutsy, I do believe you've busted yourself once again.
