Big oops in Hamble

[peterandjeanette]

Saw this sad sight at the entrance to the Hamble River last week.

If that was not enough, only just a little further on there was another yacht stuck on the bank when turning up Southampton Water too soon - on a falling tide too.

I know it was only raggies, but you can't help feeling sorry for the owners.

Was it very foggy at the time - I can't see anything !!

Nor can I, but then when I saw him, he was at the top of the Hamble and low down in the water. Amazing what being sans Flybridge can do!!

When you saw me "low down in the water" I was on the flybridge. I thought the saloon was a bit damp when I went below !!

Flying Fish

That's the Laser 28 Flying Fish, as featured in Howard's Way.

Shame, its a nice boat, I had a look under her, she's now ashore, I reckon it should be repairable.

Apparently she was hit by a much bigger boat and holed.

LOL. Now, you up for a CIC in October to CI's? The crew from May is up for it!

 

[peterandjeanette]

Pleased to hear that the Flying Fish is repairable. No-one wants to end up on the bottom.

Ref CIC in October. This is where I hang my head in shame. J and I have booked a week in Greece on a Benetau 323. Yes - a raggie. Trying out the "dark side". Must get used to seeing my whiskey at 45 degrees in the glass. (List - not temperature)

Will be heading for CI on 1st August, then on to Brittany for a couple of weeks. Just hope the weather improves.
