Advice please

Are you looking at going up or down river,

It’s all a bit hush-hush at the moment (see post #10). For that sort of highly confidential information you might be better off sending a private message.

Is there a problem with that?

Reason folks are so"cagey" ?
Have helped folks move " new to them" boats in the past and hoping that I knew the chaps capabilities prior to offering any assistance.
Have learnt to hard way the boat is always to be considered a unknown quantity despite protestations of perfect mantainance and the service that was always done "not that long ago" ,limping into somewhere as the light goes and the wind is picking up mid journey is not fun.
Helps if prior to embarkcation knowing if you are there for reassurance if things go wrong and perhaps some banter or will be in doing it all from start to finish.
Always now prepare for the fact that none of the nav gear or communication equipment aboard works but hopefully some of the gauges might.
On our last trip the previous owner really had stripped the boat of everything useful prior to our collection,even nicking back the kettle.

if Ian cant help then he'll know someone who can - if that fails then you could ask at Brough Yacht Club

"Should any of your IMF agents be captured or killed, the Club Secretary will disavow any knowledge of their actions"

Is your boat called ‘Secret Squirrel’ by any chance?

South Ferriby is essentially dead as far as sailing / boats goes these days.
I counted 1 boat in the water this year & the yard is full of abandoned boats.

Shame really as it used to be a great spot.

That's a shame. Back in the 60s, my dad kept boats there; my brother and I had great fun sailing a Heron on the river Ancholme. We moved to Dunbar, because sailing on the Humber is rather restrictive - you can realistically only sail with the tide, and of course must stick to the marked channel.

Definitely stay within the markers or you will end up on a sand bar especially near the Ancholme / Humber bridge area

Definitely no problem - I was just making a funny. Hope I didn’t offend.
