Launch time.... Or is it?

Jieboy · 26 March 2006, 19:00

Thinking of launching next weekend and leaving on a swing mooring. Question is is it still too early in the season? how many of you are already in the water?

BOG RAT · 26 March 2006, 19:06

I am!!! I didnt winterize this year, you'll find the sea is all yours, enjoy it now before the crowds come....

Jieboy is planning to sail in Loch Fyne and the surrounds -- crowds are rarely an issue.

NOT an attack at you - just wondering WHY everyone seems to mix up lose with loose??? I am seeing it everywhere - in newspapers - official reports - everywhere!!!

Just A typo for me, I make a few and usually correct before submitting. This Board has no spell checker so I do it the long way (not that that would have helped here) But you are right I see it all the time, literacy and simple arithmetic is going down the pan big style. Sometimes I wonder how schools are supposed to be improving, when I see my own kids not getting simple errors corrected, I often wonder - I digress

If your using internet explorer - get the Google toolbar plug-in - it has spell check built in.

It can check your whole post for you before hitting the submit button.

But that is the WHOLE problem!!! Spellchecking will NOT work - lose and loose are 2 proper words - that is why stuff like this keeps popping up!!!

Jimmy_Beam · 27 March 2006, 02:57

I see all you guys launching your baots and feel as if I'm being mocked!! Oh well, Guess I'll send pics of my april 15th when my boat breaks me in..
