Cameo appearance of a forum members boat.

How on earth did you spot that Ian?? I had to look three times even after Bruce's clue.

I agree with Colin, you need to buy a boat!!

I think you've got too much time on your hands Ian. About time you bought a boat, that'll keep you busy


I agree, Colin, are you retired yet, fancy some boat hunting?

Oh and just in case anyone still hasn't got it, it's in the top picture here, it's Bruce's Amanzi. :mrgreen:

OK time to fess up how I spotted it. The new TV (it replaced an old black and white valve one.... :lol: ) has You Tube and a lot of other clever stuff, I expect you've all had smart TV's forever, but not me, so its novel still.
So I've been looking at You Tube for boats like Doral, Sealine, Cranchi etc but also searching boats with rags and a stick, but am getting nowhere with SWMBO. I came across this channel and saw it was Conwy so thought I'd have a peak at Bruce's boating grounds and WOW! what a place. On a big screen its easier and much sharper, Sony's engine seems to work better than most at sharpening the picture on big screens so it was easier to spot it. :)

Pocket money.......ummm let me think about that for a nano second. :lol:

This list, is it a couple of days work? If the weather is good and you have a spare room with some beer, I may be able to drive up! :D

Surely, a two for one offer in Southern Lincolnshire must outweigh the delights of Hampshire what with our absolute lack of decent coastal havens and beautiful countryside. We do however probably have the safest ski-ing area in the UK, no hills (unless you count Gedney hill) and virtually no snow!!! Not a big drinker myself, but it may well be that the beer is like the fens - FLAT!!! Oh dear I am not so sure that this is likely to convince you Ian, but I still think it would be worthy of your consideration. Back to the OP,, despite numerous efforts I still cannot find Bruce's boat on my laptop. Geoff.

I've just viewed it on our Mac Book, if you click the broken box in the bottom right hand corner you can view it in full screen. Take a look at Amanzi at the top of the forum first, in the video she is moored port side to and its the other way round to the picture, but you should be able to make her out in between the masts

Not retired yet Ian although it's looking like later this year if the meeting with the money man agrees with my sums. :D
