    I do feel tired sometimes through the day but not bad enough to drift off

    I don’t need the sleep just nice to go to bed and go to sleep at a reasonable time. I don’t go to bed at 9 all the time btw just been trying different times over the last few weeks, it is better to have a good nights sleep for me though as my job is pretty labour intensive (coal man)

    Booze, try taking a huge quantity of it in the run up to bed time. It may impinge slightly on your quality of sleep but nodding off should be a cinch.
    Also going to bed a 9pm is really only for people that have to get up postman early or if you’re over 80.
    Google tips for a good nights sleep if booze or m’ingtfu isn’t your thing

    Yeh the about £20 a hundredweight lots of people mix them with smokeless fuels such as excel or ovoids but they burn too hot for the ovals meaning you loose the benefit of the long lasting

    my jaguar 27 yacht
    You were 16 and pleading poverty pedaling tat on the classifieds not long ago! How did you end up with a nice boat?

    got in the right job with the right people also got left some money from a grandparent

    its a 17ft boat not 15ft the 110hp outboard fits and handles fine sits abit low at the back but other than that I’ve had no problems and as for charts I’ve never bought charts as they were on the boat when i bought it, and I’ve been sailing around the mediterranean with my parents since i was five so I’ve learnt to read and navigate using them and don’t get me started on spelling…

    Is that boat a CJR? It’s a small and unstable wee thing, be very careful as the NE coast gets a huge swell at times even without much of a wind on, and can turn in a matter of minutes. Stay close in.

    Are you planning to fish? Or just out for socials? What engine and backup power have you got? Oars won’t be enough; you need a 4-5hp aux on a boat like that.

    i havent a clue what make it is i took in in px for my jaguar 27 yacht its got a 110hp main outboard and a 15hp aux the smaller engine powered me a few miles back to shore in a swell off scotland easily enough when the main engine decided to seize
