Ok I understand now, but being from across the pond not really relevant to me. I was thinking that this was something which had to do with the shipping during WWII. That is why I chose forties!

As a landlubber, I will never understand this question. . ☹️😠☹️😠

Shipping forecast

In the forecast, the waters around the British Isles are divided into 31 sea areas, also known as weather areas. The forecast begins by listing areas with gale

I really don’t understand todays question, but got a lucky guess anyway!
Can some one further explain what this is?😊

No joy,

Hi Nick I will have you know that her name is Susie and she is a 'Laaady'.

She first gives her mark of approval then, has a look and then asks to see the plans for herself!
She made her feelings very clear for my Thames tugboat. She had a look and then implied that this would not have been her choice!

Hey Roy, is that Ginger Tom doing what I think it's doing?

Nearly lulled there!😮
Roy

I fear we are being lulled into a false sense of security 🤣

Hi all, I did a count up of those taking part and it comes to 80. Inevitably the single figure entry countries will lead the way, but the UK has the most at 49.

So thanks to the organiser for a little bit of fun every day!
Cheers

I wasn't sure so I took a punt at it 😀

I had a clue that I needed to punt on 4th down😁

It's been a long day, but managed to stay awake 🤣

I was thinking of the soundtrack below.

There was a time when I was young and in my 70's I could dance jive all the way through that song. It is about twice as long as most records. I first heard it as part of the sound track in 'City of Angels' film.

Ballad of Thunder Road….” He left the road at 90, that’s all there is to say, the Devil got the moonshine and the mountain boy that day…”

Always helpful and full of useful advice, she is in her 14th. year now and as lively as a kitten.

"Are you free "🤣🤣

I saw that TV show once.

Can we have some questions relating to model boats?

Good evening everyone.

This question will have been obvious to you, very easy. It made me sweat hahahahahahah.
In the end I did the same reasoning as in the answer.
I have to thank whoever asked the question.
But who asks the questions?

'The helm' is also a name for the person steering the boat. Although there are many others, including coxswain, and for some 'that nutter' who doesn't know where they are going!!!

To get very pedantic -
A ship wheel is called the helm, ship’s wheel, or boat’s wheel. Typically, the term helm is accurate for most boats because the steering wheel controls the ship, and the helm is defined as any associated equipment for steering a ship or boat

Cruel Sea 👍👀

"Coxwain on the wheel" William Hartnel, The Cruel Sea. Or was it In Which We Serve?

Dear All.
The picture says it all.
Have a great day.
Regards
Bill.

So is "multi spoked donut holder"😋

The wheel is an accepted nautical term for a ships wheel as well a helm.

And I thought it was to identify the wreck...🤣

........ at least I got that one right

If you're using the anchor for fishing, it's probably a megaldòn 🤣

Have had, quite a few bevvy's in the 'Slaughterhouse' pub, happy times when I worked in a Mecca job.

Cheers, Pete😊

Wrong brid

Re Romance languages. I reckon Scouse is up there! "Ee ar girl, fancy a few bevvies in The Slaughterhouse (a Liverpool pub) then back to my place?"

Hi everyone.

Years ago I read the story of the Mary Celeste in the De Agostini encyclopedia "Navi e Velieri".
It is one of the most unique, interesting and mysterious stories in naval history.
It was truly considered a cursed brig due to the events that occurred even before and after the mysterious discovery.
Like the story of the Medusa raft, that of the Mary Rose should be read by all naval history enthusiasts.

Only remembered as last time I was on kayak seen a team training on the lake and they broke my silence lol

Steered into this straight away 😁

Romance languages ​​(Italian, Spanish, French, Romanian) have an advantage in this question.

The answer for us was already in the question.

Medi is middle and terra is earth

A fortunate guess 😀

One of those things I ticked off on my Bucket list a few years ago. Snorkelling on the GBR.

Flew to Cairns then drive to Port Douglas, Booked apartment. Then a 90 minute catamaran journey to swim on the reef. Magic!

Didn't have a scooby doo this morning, hey ho, didn't stop me eating breakfast 😋 😜 🙃

I vaguely remember watching this, first aired in 1981 - those were the day's 😂

I seem to recall seeing her on stage at the Old Vic theatre she is tiny. But she was good in Dynasty and acted very well against other actresses.

If she were alive now she would have spoken out about the sexual abuse she suffered, on the casting couch.

Roy

Me neither Colin🤔
Obviously a British series that wasn't bought by any station over here.
'Vulkan' logic failed me today, I went for the only option related to the sea.
'Pook' as Garfield would say🐱
