This my old Norman 27 called Jacob. Got her in 2014 when i retired. She served us well and has the scars to prove it. The tidal Ouze and Trent never bothered her. She had a 15 hp square top Honda which never missed a beat. Only stoppages i had were a fuel line bubble playing up and a gear linkage bolt falling out. Minds't it did fall off into the cut and i had to get a tow to civilization from a friendly narrow boat.
 .
Zoom down a bit it all fits in.

This is the beautiful vessel Pickle moored at Keadby Canal after coming in from the Humber after a voyage from Cadiz where the original HMS Pickle sank. She was part of Nelsons fleet and was at Trafalger. Pickle is a full size copy albeit with certain modern aids eg a back up engine , gps etc. Any way on my first attempt at coming into Keadby from the tidal Trent i managed to knock a bit of paintwork off and lost a fender lol. I then Moored at the sanitary station across from the Pickle. Whilst inspecting the damage a bloke came out of the shower block and was looking at my Norman with a smile. He said the Pickle came in yesterday on a spring tide and never touched the sides. .

I know i'm in the wrong lane mate, but for some reason this laptop has cancelled outlook saying it is out of date. But my phone is working ok. Your message has not arrived on my phone. Its the same e mail. Have spent hours trying to sort my pc out. It seems Microsoft is the culprit because i'm using Google Chrome instead of Microsoft edge on Windows 10.

The register now has a search function working, not a great deal of use now but will be as it grows.

I use Opera because it has a free VPN and lots of extras like effective pop up blockers, but I also use Firefox. I use CCleaner to clean the computer but tell it to leave Firefox alone and keep Firefox for Ebay, Bank and Paypal transactions so logging in is dead easy as all the details are retained in cache. For everything else it's Opera and that is cleared regularly.I keep Microsoft and Google out of my private life as much as possible. I use geo-blocking as standard which gives interesting results if I type in "Where am I?" in Google.
Finally living the dream!

Not sure why you have any trouble posting pics here Clive.
As long as under 512Kb should be easy.

188kb originally, I edited my post so you obviously picked up the pre-edit version. Postimage went down too but came back up the next morning.Don't know it it's them or me - maybe something in my cache screws it up?
Still refuses to upload the same image of the map I posted above with Postimage. Comes up with the error message "invalid string". I've opened and re-saved, re-sized, re-named that image - to no avail!
It won't allow me to upload any other image either, I get the same error message.
