Its a straightforward rule of boats that they will never be ready when you want to use them, that if it is a bank holiday weekend you will need a new part at 5.30pm on the Friday and that if it is the hottest day of the year with dead calm water, your battery will be flat.

To make it worse for you. We were relaunched 0800 on Sat monring up the Dart after a 3 month lay-up. You don't get many better mornings. The seas were flat calm. We had a nice swift cruise back from Dartmouth just round to Brixham and moored up, taking in the anchored ships on the way - superb start to the season.
