i think its a nice way of telling me times up id say raja the harbour master asked why my boat was still there everyone
else has taken theres out so he reckons mine will be out in the open there is to be galeforce southerlies and heavy seas
terry is sound so i will take his advice he hasent steered me wrong all year
