Re: ST21 'Skinnydip' build, and boating adventures, Noosa, Australia
I keep arguing (internally) about “all lines lead aft because of the spaghetti. My thought was that it would be better to have the spaghetti at the mast and not under foot in the cockpit. Then again, my current situation has me looking at the climb to the mast and doing the Will Smith “Hellll nooo” loudly.

Beautiful sunny winter's afternoon out on the water on Great Sandy.
Changed her oil and oil filter. Finished with sundowners with a few of the local pirates.

Sure seems like a nice way to spend the day and early evening.

Thanks Jeff, Fuzz, and Tom.
Repeated the self inflicted dose today. Did further annual pre-cruising maintenance, replacing the pre-engine and engine diesel fuel filters, and the raw water impellor. As has been the case for a number of years now, the raw water impellor was on its last legs after one year's use. I'm convinced the quality of Johnson impellors fell off about a decade ago.
Another highly entertaining sundowners with the local at-anchor live-aboard pirates, whose conspiracy theories are nothing if not inventive.
Tried to load a pic, but for some reason .... not possible. Will try again later.

Nothing new on BBC side. If you can describe the issue as you see it I might be able to assist.

Pretty sure the glitch is some type of settings glitch in my laptop. There seems to only be about a 1 in 3 chance of finishing a connection, a 2 in 3 chance of getting a 'Hmmm ---- can't reach this page'mmessage. So this response has about a 1 in 3 chance of reaching you. Trying to post photo with at least 4 steps seems to reduce the chance to 1 in 81!

Just to be clear it’s a “server can not be reached” message?
