Quite possibly.
I should have said hello, but I don't know your boat or name of same

Good day out though. After a lengthy lunch / relax in Stangate we had a gentle bimble back... lies actually it was more like 20kts.
Had to give the engines a good blow and check out the boost problem on the stbd engine etc etc
