The Stock Market and YachtForums...

At lunchtime today I was following a live webchat on http://www.timesonline.co.uk with bankers, economists and international commentators.

The news was not what one would call uplifting; the Greek economy takes a dirt nap, Spain on the brink as yet another regional bank shuffles off to dark and smelly place, Asian markets have a breakfast of downward facing red arrows and Hillary Clinton checking in with the Chinese to see if there is any Credit left.

As Goverment Quantative Easing (lending money to banks and businesses with a future about as bright as a 5W bulb) is drying up and GDP growth at around 0.2 to 0.3% for G8 countries and a double dip recession looming.

So the big question is...........

Does anyone want to swap my Boston Whaler 13' with a nearly new Force 25hp for a Feadship?

Hi,

It has been very quiet on here today, I just put it down to a mid week lull. I guess all the bad news emanating from the stock markets has not done anything to help the yachting community sit down and write yachting things, so that could be a reason.

Dave - You should have spent your lunchtime coming on here and giving the world the benefit of your experiences rather than getting depressed about owning a Force Outboard.

Thanks mate,

May the Force be with you.

No, really, take the bloody thing away.

Carl, call me. I've got airmiles to use. Do they cover air ambulances?
