Sunny Jim Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 2 hours ago, 320touring said: Yeah, you either get it or you don't Bit counterintuitive putting power on to turn harder, but it comes easily enough. Fuck knows how i will cope with 70mph on the motorway on the way back For context, the turn onto the Staffs is under this bridge, with a whole hire fleet sitting right after the bridge, so only 1 boat width to get past.. Nice boat mister. For tight turns, tiller hard over and as you said, a burst of (forward) power to "kick" the back end round. If you keep the tiller where it is and then give a burst of reverse the boat will spin on the spot*, rotating around it's middle - handy when you've not got much space to manoeuvre. *might not work if it's very windy - one to practise when you got some space! 320touring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurious Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 On 3/21/2023 at 10:44 AM, New POD said: No. Because if it wasn't a barrier it could have been a child. This. I've been to a job where a hooded e-scooter wanker clipped an old boy who then fell and broke his hip. e-scooter wanker disappeared into the ether never to be seen again, police on scene gave the shrug of shoulders and said they won't be able to find him. Hip fractures present massive problems to older folk. Quote Mortality is high – about 10% of people with a hip fracture die within1 month, and about one third within 12 months. However, fewerthan half of deaths are attributable to the fracture. This reflects thehigh prevalence of co-morbidity in people with hip fractures; oftenthe combination of fall and fracture brings to light underlying illhealth. This presents major challenges for anaesthetic, surgical,postoperative and rehabilitative care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The desert is interesting for a short while (novelty value, never seen cacti outside of botanical gardens / student digs before) but soon becomes dull. Fortunately the bus had wi-fi.
