Re: Flying Visit
Yes we get hauled out on Monday to get the repairs done. It should take 7 to 10 days before we get back in the water. We both want to be in Antigua for xmas which is 300+ miles away so we might have to sail it in one hit 2 to 3 days should do it. It's cutting it fine to say the least but at least we...

Carole and I are still travelling the islands here in the Caribbean and we are currently here in Grenada in the southern part. Last season we made some good friends in Antigua and...

May 12th 2013 - Site Latest News
The site is now back online although they might be a bug or two still lurking around. I had to revert the database to an older backup 11/05/2013 at 5:50am so anything posted after that time and date until now would have been over written. Please report any bugs you come across by replying to this to...

Re: The time is upon us.
Now that the handover of the site is completed I'd like to wish Pluggy and all the members of OGFB all the best for the future, I will still be hanging around for a while to offer any help I can to Pluggy from a technical point of view until he gets comfortable with the in's and out's of the site.

Re: Hocus Pocus
Prout catamarans have a reputation for being solidly built unlike the mass production boats of today, they are a great sea boat with good sea keeping qualities and being a catamaran are also very stable (No heeling). Carole does not like sailing on an angle all the time. The name Hocus Pocus was eve...

Re: Google API Key
While I was doing some house keeping on the site I stumbled across a small piece of programming code that I think was responsible for the google API key warning message. I removed the offending code and hopefully it should not be appearing again. (Fingers crossed)

Re: Terraced House Restoration Project
I thought it was about time I gave you an update on the progress of this project. To be honest my original time scale went out the window more or less at the start because of other unforeseen commitments I had to make. But there has been some progress albeit a bit slower than anticipated. Below are ...

If you mean the recent topics block on the portal home page, I have increased the number of days to show 3-days instead of just the 1.
Hope this helps.
