I was browsing through some older threads and noticed @Max-Power hasn't been around for some time. Anybody know if he's alright?

[goosehd]

@tody Last time he made a post was in July and I hope he’s ok. I find everyone’s interest in the forum ebbs and flows over time but hoping he’s still lurking around!!

@Max-Power would be great to hear from you!

@tody
Talked to him before the IH-Hamburg party. Unfortunately he couldn’t make it there. He’s active on Insta.

Are you guys getting hit by Storm Ciarán?

[AdamJ]

@goosehd Not really, much furore on local news regarding it, my walk to work this morning was very pleasant

[goosehd]

@AdamJ Thanks for the info! BBC was making it sound pretty bad with flooding, canceled schools, and uprooted trees.

…not pleasant walks to work

Appreciate it!

[AdamJ]

@goosehd We may have missed the brunt of it where we are, I know a few schools etc have been closed locally

Boat opposite SAKURA:

There's also a Nordhavn 47 that is close to us. Apparently at 02:00 this morning it was hanging onto the pontoon by one warp and heading towards us....Luckily the owner was on board (twat for not securing her properly when we all knew the storm was inbound BTW) and managed to get help to secure her again. It took a lot of time though......

@Giles How can someone with that much money invested in a hobby/lifestyle not pay attention to the single worst enemy of boating (weather)?

Astounds me that people just assume that since the boats parked that it will be safe…

[goosehd]

@Giles …also a good time to buy that boat monitoring kit

[Giles]

It's already bought

The new 8' antenna to pair with it turned up today. All will be installed next week (and I have actually fessed up to buying the antenna).

We do have Blink cameras installed and they are very good at giving me comfort. Here are a couple of images I grabbed just after dawn today....

Dollars do not equal sense.

am I reading it correct that you have added Bube & König in Nuremberg as a retailer?

[AdamJ]

@Tago-Mago yes

@AdamJ thanks, that's great news. Now I have two places within reasonable driving distance

What shirt is this?

Looks like a selvedge chambray workshirt but with black buttons and without selvedge?

[goosehd]

@Kalle It may be an IHSH-79, but I’m sure someone else will chime in to correct me if I’m wrong.

@goosehd thanks a lot! Sure looks like that one!

[Giles]

I glanced at the forum handle and read "Katie", and thought uh-oh @Matt is in deep shit now.....

[goosehd]

@Giles Wouldn't that be awesome if she's selling @Matt clothes on the forum without him knowing
