I have posted an EXCEL Spreadsheet here:

which I use.

Enter the BEGINING and END meter readings.

Adjust the GREEN numbers starting at the bottom until CALCULATED is equal to USED.

If the FT changes then it will need updating.

All current charges are here:

Why are the sailors wearing life jackets? They're not even in blue water and they are thinking of sinking already?

If you hit your head when going overboard during getting underway and line handling -six feet or 1000 won't matter.  Do you only wear your seat belt on the freeway.?
I served in the RN for 12 years. I never heard of anyone going overboard when getting under way and still within a harbour, and that includes Scapa Flow where it blows a bit most of the time. Maybe that was because we were a professional and almost entirely volunteer Navy and knew what we were doing. 'Nozzers' who put themselves at risk were quickly disavowed of doing so by a Petty Officer or Leading Seaman in no uncertain terms.The only time that life jackets were worn was by the seaboat's crew.and then only when the sea condition warranted it..
I attach my seatbelt in a car before moving off and always have done since they were introduced in the UK in the sixties. Given the moronic behaviour of road users in Thailand I consider it to be totally sensible.  What wearing a seatbelt on a motorway has to do with going to sea escapes me. Have you ever been to sea?




Entering and leaving port is a dangerous time for crew members as they have to deal with mooring ropes and wires which can break under strain and send them overboard, probably unconcious or injuried, in these circumstances a lifejacket can be a life saver, you probably do not realise that most Navys now follow this practice.

I am pleased to see Thailand contributing to the NATO effort and wish them well, and yes, a little bit of Thai "common sense" like just drown the b.........ds. rather than European diplomacy may give the pirates something to think about.

In Topic: Car Insurance For Learner Drivers?

My Insurance company has told me that if she buys a car before she has passed the test she can get class 3 insurance on her car, if she were to drive my car which has class 1 without a licence she would not be covered.
