Re: Happy Birthday, Donald!!
Indeed... As one esteemed historian pointed out - everything that has happened regarding Donald since 2001 has happened because of the BBP and we're very proud of that. Every day he stares down at us from the wall of K7 's workshop and when passers by ask what we're doing we just point at him. Soon ...

Re: What have forum members been up to?
What about other bits? Glass, interior trim, etc? Are they readily available in Canada?

Re: Bute / Coniston Back to Back
Predator is half the weight of the big tin machine. We'll do it standing on our heads.
Thought you'd be chomping at the bitt to go after the elusive escaped canopy.

Re: Bute / Coniston Back to Back
Well now that we have the RHIB re commissioned complete with its fancy sonar suite, I would personally love re commission and also dive off Predator, kitting into a twinset on a RHIB as it pitches and rolls is interesting. The little boat is for blasting out in the evening to catch supper or have a...

That's a deliciously understated rig. Lovely job.

Re: Bute / Coniston Back to Back
I still dive my old Cycklons on shallow stuff. The young-uns like their colour-coordinated bling but they can't rebuild their valves with one hand in a bucket of seawater on the deck of a rolling boat and, get this, they allow strangers to service their kit! Would they let someone else pack their pa...

Re: Bute / Coniston Back to Back
Bill, as a voice of reason, can I pretty please with sugar on top ask you to pull the post down and burn it ? It serves nothing more than to build walls higher and dig trenches deeper :cry: if it did transpire that Ruskin was “Saville’esque” I am sure folk could look it up for themselves ? It just ...

Re: Bute / Coniston Back to Back
Why would the RM want to spite you actually running on Bute in 2022 .....It would cost them money in legal fees they don’t have and they would look even more stupid and petty than they already do They wouldn't be spiting us - we've had a great time running K7 in 2018 and, though we'd enjoy doing it...
