Re: Bucket bath and showers
They do look pretty good Andrew and endless . I did have one of those fold flat black solar shower bags but they were pretty heavy when full and needed to be up pretty high. Also mine disintegrated after a while which is a strange attribute for a solar bag :cry: The bottle one is just a convenient s...

Re: Bucket bath and showers
Great idea for a thread Andrew. As Andrew has covered, I’ve tried sleeping on the boat just after only a salt swim and it’s just not comfortable as most people are aware. I’ve heard you can use cheap hair conditioner as body wash with seawater but sounds yuk to me and I’d not convince Mrs Ozzie on t...

Re: Baking bread on board.
Yep, he certainly enjoyed his boat to the max Andrew. I’ve only every run out of water once, on a motorcycle trip to K’gari (Fraser Is.) mid 70s. It had been raining heavily and we harvested rainwater off puddles on the sand near Indian Head. Wood was too damp to get a fire going to boil and purify ...

Re: Baking bread on board.
I thought I’d bump this 10 year old thread, for no other reason that it’s lovely reading if your relaxing over the break. I’ve finished everything I need to do and I’m doing just that. The bread part is interesting on its own but the rest is gold as well. Note Bob’s use of sweeps and his further use...

Merry Xmas 2023
It’s Christmas again. They race by like a broken down dam once your over 60. I’m not adding any boating stuff as I’ve not clocked up much in the way of sailing hours this year. Mainly due to pressing health matters that required investigation and treatment for much of the year but we are working on ...

Re: WARNING Gumtree Scammers
Really wish I didn’t have to report this s++t but … We posted some items for an elderly friend today on my wife’s fb account on fb marketplace . I hate fb but she keeps an account to connect with our youngest daughter. Marketplace seems to have taken over from Gumtree in many respects, just as fb gr...

Re: Investigator molds plus a hull, deck with furniture at Toronto, NSW
As I think I said at the time, the mold on its own looks like Mad Max meets Kevin Shepard. :shock: BUT, think if you molded that up in heavy weight glass and didn’t cut the openings out. Turned the oriental arch into a bulkhead with watertight door and a watertight roof hatch as the only entry, you’...

Re: Galley Box
Champion job Andrew. Lots of great ideas to inspire there. After following your build, I’m going to glue cork or silicone on the back of my companionway step. It’s only held by Velcro. Then I can flip it over during cooking and use it as a pot stand. Your design isn’t just good for onboard cooks but...

Re: Galley Box
Every time I have cooked in the boat on anchor, with the stove on the cockpit floor, a large motor launch waits until the food has just started boiling, and then motors past at maximum displacement to create a wake large enough to send the meal everywhere :x That must be the same basket who visits ...
