I like Hammocks.
- Thread starter No Idea
- Start date
I'm guessing it's the same principle as putting an upturned cup in a bowl of water - that doesn't fill up either. Or have I got completly the wrong end of the stick???
Either way, it's not going to stop me enjoying this thread
Er.....
Have a look at this motorbike jumping a ramp....
I think its momentum that throws the bike forwards and up and gravity that pulls it back down again.
However....
The at a set speed and set angle of ramp, the bike always misses the gray area.

Now imagine turning the ground and the ramp upside down.
The ramp is now the back of the bailer. It acts as a ramp.
Imagine little blue lumps of water sliging along the hull and getting launched by the ramp of the bailer....
As ther is actually nothing but air in the grey area behind the bailer, any water in the boat - yellow... simply runs out of the bailer by gravity and is pulled back by the passing water stream....

Nah.
I think there is one of the little people there who sucks water out of the bailer with a straw and squirts it back over the front of the boat in little jets trying to get it in my eyes or sandwiches.
Witchery.

Well i could have never described it in such a simple and graphic way.
but i have one question, how come you have yellow water in your boat ?

heh, dont mean to be negative... but after skim reading the whole first page.... i dont think hammocks are mentioned once! motorcyles, yup, boats, yup, random stuff, yup!!!!
where can an avid hammock fan like myself get the hammock banter i was looking for!

i meant the first page as it loads.... i.e in this case i guess its page 56..... was just jovially pointing out that the thread had fallen off the map! twas quite an interesting read about boats at any rate!

Yup! Im very good at random!
This whole thread is pretty random.
Glad you found it interesting. Comments like that make it worthwhile taking the time to post.
Anyhow...Your problem....
Have you thought about starting a thread called "Exclusively hammock banter"?
Will be interested in hearing what you talk about.

Thanks for that, I think it makes a bit of sense now
mind you, if you ensure you visit the gents before you next go out, you wont get the yellow water on board
Lol
It was getting close a few times.
Thats why I ended up at the beach where I took the pic of the lump on my head. Its got a toilet.
The doctor is feeding me anti water retention tabs. I need to go every ten seconds, or at least it feels that way.
Just as well I know where all the toilets are in the area from having the kids always needing to go.

Sorry GsfGaz
I missed your post.
He has thrown himself in every bit of water he ahs seen since he learned how to walk. He jumped off the quay 4 or 5 times, even between a ferry and the dock, in rivers, in the sea, off bridges, in puddles, even in the bath.
We started him on swimming lessons at 3 years old as it was getting obvious that he would drown before he reached 4 if we didnt.
It was the older one who jumped off a suspension bridge 8 ft above a weir though.
I nearly drowned that day. I jumped in after him and got stuck in the mud. He just floated down on the air in his coat and climbed out.
Pigging kids.
Forgot to mention that he goes swimming 3 times a week as well.
Anyhow...
It was Sunday....
SO I drove to within a mile or so of the cafe and let my little one out.
Im in the cafe. Ive eaten my dinner and his is getting cold.
Hes going to have to start running faster.
Hmmm...wonder if he would notice if I accidentally ate half of it.

Had two visitors for a few days.
Hadnt seen them for a few months.
Looks like Ive lost my bed again.
This one is huge and always lies in the middle of the doorway and expects everyone to walk round him.
Well....She has walked so far that even she is tired.
Next tiem we go out Im going to carry a bucket to follow after this one.
He must be empty by now.
