Oh Heck I'm around 5'9 1/2". 43 chest 35 waist. I wonder if these things are alterable? More than likely not. Do stop moaning. Put some thick woolly socks on if its a bit too big. Gawd.

Dulcinea should really have a survival suit on board. It's got everything else... I had been considering getting one. Survival on the Thames! Ravaged by hunger, we had to draw straws to see who was next to be eaten! Or, rather, when we said we'd draw straws, we went surreptitiously behind people and hit them on the head with a hammer before they realised.

A couple of ladies have told me that I'm in great shape for 58 but being a modest type I'd say average to not too bad. I can still see it when I look down, apparently that's the true measure, once you're in your mid fifties.

Oh. Well, I could take a punt on it, postage plus a tenner for the charity of your choice?

Postage alone would be fine Hermes is £6 for that weight. DM me your delivery address and I will get it rolling. Do you do internet banking? Cos its the simplest way to get £6 to me.

Incidentally I have a drysuit (more of a survival suit actually) which is the sort of thing intended for the moment when one 'abandons to liferaft' (or possibly just go bobbing around in the North Sea) in as-new condition which I doubt I will ever need. It would be perfect for those moments when there was something so stubbornly wrapped around the prop that there was no other option than to go for a swim in the crystal-clear waters of the canal. Could also come in handy for disconnecting externally mounted bow-thruster things. As Magnetman is often noted for saying, a proper piece of kit. If it's an immersion suit, it might not be very hard wearing. I found this out when removing a tyre from around the propeller on a trip boat. Suit had been used twice before, although, to be fair, it was a fairly old one. Edited to add : just seen later post with link, so yours shouldn't have the same problem

And its still good. However rubber, and rubber-derived products all eventually perish.

Sounds like a very bad idea to me - I bet the previous owner had buyer's remorse over that one, I wonder how much it cost? Quite a lot I should think. If you want it removed I imagine you are looking at dry dock time. Your batts are going flat after all that cruising? Oh dear. I fear the bottom line is new batteries in the next few weeks. Indicated battery voltage is not a measure of remaining AH potential.
