Going off thread and dragging up history here and an almost 6 year old thread but one of the things that came out of the USCG hearings into the Bounty was that the ship was not fit to put to see in those conditions. Gcaptain had an interesting series of articles on the hearing that are worth a...

63, certified in 1981, had a fair few years where I didn’t dive at all, occasional local diver and a warm water holiday diver

Want do you have in the way of refrigeration, cooking equipment, and preparation tables.? Those will be limiting factors. It is no good bringing cryovac roasts if all you have is a 2 burner stove. If you are looking at fresh cooked meals the best bet is to slip the cook at the local...

G’Day

Another thing to think about is what are you going to tie the anchor rode off to on the RIB. Do not use anything that is only glued on. The glue will eventually fail. Try and avoid running the rode over the pontoon material if possible. This will become an exercise to see what wears out first as...

Love to dive with you, but I think I hear my mother calling me, thank god😁

If we are both thinking of the same person I think you will find it is Iain, not Ian, just to be pedantic 😁

Possibly, the Lee-Enfield Magazine Rifle Mark I was produced In 1900. It had a detachable 10-round magazine box. It was made available for colonial troops.

I got hit by a car once when I was crossing the road ( on foot) to get to my LDS, does that count?

I have found that money changers away from airports gave the best rates, but I have never been to Sorong, this web site may help https://www.stayrajaampat.com/ultimate-raja-ampat-guide/information/money-banks-and-atms/

An MOB system is another piece of technology that can go wrong. I think they are a great idea, but another competent person board is a damn good idea. They can stop the boat bring the boat back to you call for help help you get back onboard I have also done delivery trips with one person on...

But who won?

At the risk of stating the obvious, and this really applies to all boats. make sure all the shackles used for the anchor, chain and line (rode for you purists) are tightened and wired so they cannot vibrate loose. Inspect all component regularly. I was once on a charter that suddenly started...
