Any news from Preston?

[Eyore]

Latest news from Preston is that Elizmor plus one other large boat were successfully launched yesterday afternoon without incident.

Hurrah, great news, the free fenders will get used

I never thought I'd live long enough to see that post !

Now we just need Concorde restored and Harrier back in the inventory, production lines going flat out producing Anderson 22's & 26's, Led Zeppelin constantly on the radio and I can die happy...

Genuinely good news.

I'd like to propose that we all scribble our names on 5 litre cans of diesel and send them to Preston immediately :encouragement:

Well done Preston Marina. IMHO you came out of this saga well - unlike others........

 

[Murv]

Great news

 

[longjohnsilver]

Excellent news.

 

[Vallich]

What a novel idea - wait until both boats could be launched at the same time, I wonder if the expenses were shared too!


Excellent news.

More likely ' adopt a tube of Sikaflex ' !

The best news.

Excellent news. Now I hope she can crank up the blog site again olewill

 

[Kelpie]

So glad to hear that. Good things come to those who wait

Here's hoping Ellie will soon resume her updates after what must have been a very difficult and frustrating delay.

 

[l'escargot]

Thanks for letting us know - any pictures?

 

[clyst]

What will all the doubters do now ??

Probably not give a toss . Now the fun begins its a pity she didn't have the decency to keep us up to date tho. Don't think she done herself any favours .

 

[Lakesailor]

Yep. Major own goal. Still, it may have been an agreement between her and the marina, she didn't want to piss them off, after all. A bit of vid would have been nice.

Major hurdle over. Is she making the voyage North to Fleetwood?

Excellent news! I hope it is 'she' that has launched and it has not gone into new ownership; that would be tragic!

That is a very good point but I guess we will never know .If It is you know who who has launched it then the reality of the costs of owning a heavy large old wooden boat must be starting to sink in .

No worse than owning a heavy large old house lol. It gets tough when you have both
