          I think, Chris, that you need to post a date and address for this pond, I bet a few will come and see the shakedown run.

              Yeah Chris....I know you can do it and with double video we'll have it from two different angles! Nice! And that way Jen will be free to pour Champagne and smile for the camera and you'll be sweatin' at the controls and all....Matron will have to give you a sedative to calm you down.

                I think that you will have to bring in Martin Scorsese for the production Chris.
                All the best on your test tank trials mate, and please give my best to GerryW.

                  AN HI Garry an who the heck is Martin Scorsese ? lol an cheers for your test tank wishes but if she leaks from her prop shafts or stablilizers shafts then warship day for tiger will be aborted as i will have to strip them all out to regrease them an it takes a lot of time as the nuts are difficult to get to in the hull but firsly wheather wise here its nothing but RAIN an more RAIN AN THUNDER STORMS SO NOT TEST TANK WHEATHER an also jen has to be carefull of liftin tiger wheight if she can that is as due to her bad foot an unless i can get a boaty mate to come over at the drop of a hat jen an i may not be able to lift tiger in an out of test tank as i said before there are so many things to go wrong as never had these probs before with my other ships as i had then a neibour who would come out an give me a hand but where we live now no other help avalible im afraid an its all so frustrating
                  ATB Garry an yes will give jerry your best wishes as he is still in hospital

                    AN HI all again an if like Ian says if anyone does comes i cant garrentee tiger will sail so prepear to be dissopinted but no one will be more than me an at eaton park pond its very difficult to park up due to the council painting double yellow lines everywhere but there is a pay an display car park about 5 mins walk from the pond an if whoever does come an wants to park up in the park near the pond then the gate is on a blind bend so not good so put on your hazard flashers an then if gaining entry to the park the rule is keep hazard flashers goin an drive in park at 5 mph to park up near the pond as you will see all the other cars parked hope that covers that an i will have to tell gerry all this if he makes it out of hos an he is better hopefully

                      Martin Scorsese is a famous film director. Films like New York, New York and Taxi Driver.
                      Or maybe you would prefer James Cameron?

                              WoW Chris.....rock the baby in its cradle! .......special handling is required though, if you don't want to make repairs when you get to the pond. Will you have padding on the contact surfaces to keep the paint damage to a minimum? :thumb2:
