Searching for Mylar.....

The Admiral is away in Namibia on Safari - getting tanned and generally healthy looking - to make us all grumpy with envy at the Alexandra Palace Show. Just before he left, he called me to complain that he couldn't find non-Dom's article on the datchetman website about Mylar versus Dacron - it had disappeared. Basically, I had lost it !!! Mike had that way, just like he does on the first beat, of making me think quite possibly he was right.... Maybe it had disappeared.

Then we discovered the virtue that blindingly smart mathematicians like me (ha ha ha ha !!) often display - being one step ahead... Have you ever tried the "search" bar that I have put on the top right hand corner of the new 'datchetman'? (The site with the white background...) You use it just like a Google Search bar, but it only searches our fleet website. If you key "mylar" in there and click 'search', you'll see what I mean. Note that if it finds more than about half a dozen documents, there will be more pages. It lists the most recent first, and you click "older posts" to see the ones that came out even earlier....
