Back In

[CliveG]

Launched on Saturday after some last minuite rushing about.
Now back on the mooring.
Only about 12 boats out of 200 are there.
Seems very empty.

Spent Sunday making sure that there were no leaks, ( I am a bit sensitive about them), getting the sails back on and haveing a good tidy up.
Also discovered that the engine raw water pump leaks (service kit on order) and my alarm that should text me if the bilge pumps run has stopped working. (Investigating a replacement).
Sitting here now hopeing that all is o.k.

Any way lets hope for a better sailing season than last year.

I'll drink to that.

Get started on sailing IMMEDIATELY... Last two years we have had summer in April and May and gone directly to autumn, I for one have dismissed any thought of working until September .

Happy sailing

We launched last Thursday (22nd) spent friday fettling, and went sailing over the weekend. Bloody marvellous after all the sanding painting etc.

Nothing broke, everything worked as designed, I kept looking over my shoulder for something to hit me!

We say Moody Sabre edging into Tollesbury south channel, but Roger declined to answer the hail on channel 16. boo hiss

fair winds

Nice to see you out!

Doing it again tomorrow

That was my first foray up the Tollesbury channel - ideal day for ghosting about.

indeed, radio checks with the coast guard on 16 while they just spoke with the harbour master on 80 when leaving their berth...
