Still more questions on sailing, ???.
I am really lucky at the moment getting these correct.
And I am not using Mr Google for help.
At the moment we are away in the motor home, so I wouldn’t know how to connect to two different devices at the same time.
It’s hard enough working it on one device for me let alone trying to do it on two devices together.🙄🙄

Hi Junpugly,
Have you thought of trying a small mix of bot RAL 5009 and RAL 5015.
Just to see if that would lighten it up a bit to your liking.
Adding white may be just too much of a hit to the colour.
Just a suggestion, or experiment??
That's what I would try. But I am a bit odd at times to say the least. 🤗.
I do love the model though, wish I could have a model of her.
She is an amazing boat, so sad about what happened to her.
I did follow the rebuild of her.
I would love to be there when she is back out on the water for her next run.
Not sure thought when that is or which Loch it's going to be on.
Ullswater possibly ??

ROCKBAG,
Well you are complaining , so am I.
Two days running I have now come on here and it has said I had already answered the question.
I think something is not right here.
If they want to keep certain people on the top 100% then that's not right.
Not have the thing rigged to have it set to have it to auto answer for you without you coming on here.

WOW I only knew that one from the 30 years of owning a boat.
Luckily I only had a fibre glass one.
I has a plaque on my Shetland 535 that said,
"If boat where meant to be built from fibreglass then GOD would have made trees from fibreglass".
I cannot BELIEVE that I have finally got up to 100%.
I will drop soon I know it.

I don't know, there doing sailing ship questions again??
I know nothing about sailing or sailing ships.
I sat and read the question half a dozen times and was bewildered at first.
But seeing as the answer's the only one that had fore in it, well thatt was the one for me.
So I went for that one.
So to me the answer was in the question if you read it enough times and think 🤔about the four answers listed logically.

It was a close one today.
It was a toss up between C & D answers.
I thought that the possible metallic's in the drift wood could interfere with the ships compasses. But then that didn't seem right with all the other metallic's on the ship.
So answer c, was which was the one I went for.
A & B didn't seem right.
Luck is still on my side at the present time. 🤞🤞

luckyduck,
I didn't know, I just plumbed for the answer that had Antarctica in the answer.
It was just a lucky guess. I cannot believe I and on such a long stretch of correct answers.
I have got to fall soon.

SimpleSailor,
Yes I agree with you, that's why I remember the answer. and yet get another one right.
I cannot believe my run of luck so far.
even the one where I did own up and go to MR Google!! and he gave me the wrong answer??
I had to go for a stab in the dark. My luck was in that day.
I will fall soon I am sure. 🤞🤞🤞

I will be totally honest today.
Yes I did go to Mr GOOGLE, and this was what he came up with.
The specific phenomenon is called cargo liquefaction, or sometimes referred to as dynamic separation, when describing solid bulk cargoes that shift and act like a liquid. This occurs when solid materials, especially those with high moisture content like iron ore fines, nickel ore, or bauxite, lose their internal friction due to vibration, ship motion, and wave action, and start behaving like a liquid. This can lead to a rapid shift of cargo within the hold, causing a dangerous loss of stability and potentially capsizing the ship
So going to him doesn't always help you??
So I just sit and scratch my head and just wonder.🤔🤔
I don't know so it's just a stab in the dark, and pick one at random.
so I went for answer (D).
lucky answer!!!

WOW WEE, I now have 14 in a row. the last two have been complete random guesses.
But if you read the question 2 or 3 times as I did the answer is sort of in the question.
That's why I opted for the watertight bulkhead.
When I have build all of my wooden boats I have always built them so the front bulkhead was completely watertight.
#This was because with my bad running on the water when there was about 6 of us messing about racing 🚤🚤around on the pond in a collision if I was to get hit or I hit one of the others and over turned and sunk.
The front would keep the boat still somewhat still visible in the water.
It did and it did happen a couple of times and I was still able to carry on running again after a quick dry out of the radio box and off onto the water again.
We were pretty mad when we got all together in our younger days.

I don't believe that they can get all 30 on the trot that often without going to MR Google.
It cannot be that easy with out of his help. I know I will NOT last this week out without getting one wrong.
Even a while back when I did seek Mr G's help he made me go wrong.
He doesn't always give you the correct answer. HE has done that about 3 times in a row to me, that's why I now give it a go at guessing it.
If lucks not on my side then I check to see what he would have said.
Even then occasionally he has come up with what I have said.
But how can you ask him when it says which of these answers is the correct one, when that is the type of question that comes up.
You cannot put all of that gumph in can you. ??
I wouldn't know how to.🤔🤔

Up to now No. I am being good.
I am resisting the urge to go to MR GOOGLE.
I had used that in the past and he has steered wrongly.
So now I am trying to guess is and up to now been dead lucky.
I am really waiting as I know I am definitely going to blow it very soon.
11 days now this is going way too well so it is going to go badly very soon.

“You cannot be serious" in the word's of the great John McEnroe.
Well I wonder how much longer it will take me to get the next one wrong.
I cannot be long, surely.
It's been a long time since I have been this Lucky. 🤣🤣

I don’t understand the scoring either, no matter how many times they try to explain it.
It goes right over my head.
So it’s you and me both, I suppose there are others that also do not get it as well.
I seem to get 2 or 3 correct then I get at least one or two wrong.
I just seem to hover around the same place on the list and the same sort of % ratings.
So yes it’s a real pain in the butt.

This has to be my best run in a long time.
Well for me at least since I have seemed to notice this form of working the % scoring.
12 days in a row of correct answers.
Cannot be bad for me.
I was only getting 2 ot 3 then getting one wrong then drop down again.
Tomorrow is the so called by my wife the unlucky 13. 👎☹️☹️
Never been very supersticious, but we will see what tommorow brings. 🤔🤔🤔🤔

But is it because I am sitting up watching the telly.

Well this makes no sense.
Nine questions in a row correct.
Yesterday I was at 8 on the list.
Today I am now 9 questions correct in a row. and I have now dropped down to 9 on the list.
I dropped a placing on the listing???
Crazzyy 👎👎👎👎👎😮😮😮🤕🤕
I willnever get this way of how this is being worked out.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well at least I have had a good run at getting some questions correct.
I just hope I can make a double figure tomorrow on correct answers, and then I may just get to make a double figure on the LISTING as well ??????🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Then in the words of a true ledgend (Sir Rod Stewart) I am ⛵⛵⛵Sailing. Hopefully

Wow that's a real stroke of luck. I dont know anything about sailing.
I have guessed this one right.🤞
I am now 4 days in a row of correct answers.
Just luck. 🤞
I just cannot seem to get any higher on the list.
Since it has been shown like this I am sinking lower.
I used to be quite a bit higher on the %.
I am not bothered anymore about how it it worked out as when it is tried to be explained it never makes sense to me so why worry about it.
It's just a bit of fun.
The ont thing I don't think should make a difference is, when we cannot get onto our computer for the day or so why shoud whe have to drop down ??Please do not go into explaining it as I am not bothered because it just goes iver my head.
Toooo much there that I do NOT understand.🤔🤔🤔🤔🤕👎

Lucky guess on this one today.
I very nearly went for A but then thought better of it and plumbed for B instead.
Don’t know why but just as well I did.
