    Excellent reply John A. [ a lot of Johns on here ].

    Had me laughing. I dont think I will bother going to Greenwich, as you say may end up in froggy paris but stay in Fanning Island instead.
    Many thanks for that. interesting excercise.
    I will sleep soundly tonight. SHE has threatened me with the spare room if I do not stop leaving the light on while I read Nichols Concise Guide, Volume 1 and Reeds Ocean Navigator, 2nd Edition. at 3am.
    Many thanks
    Brian.

    The books are not challenging enough , try Pounders Marine Diesel Engines and Gas Turbines , then you will stop worrying about the course and start worrying if you can make the distance

    Hi Rob,
    I have read `Pounders Marine Diesel Engines and Gas Turbines`, but fell asleep half way through.
    I find that `Nichols Concise Guide, Volume 1` is quite interesting and I stay awake much longer.
    Cheers
    Brian.

    . PS I told HER about `Pounders Marine Diesel Engines and Gas Turbines`. SHE has told me to get it again so we could both have a good nights sleep.

    Brian there are two ways to get over your dilema. Firstly think of pole dancers rahter than just the pole, ot secondly take a good sleeping pill and stop worrying about some Fanny island.
    Happy daze John in Oz.
