Chicken!

[watson1959]

Went down to see the boat in the snow this morning.....big thaw so no weight on the canopy.

Son threw down the gauntlet: shall we see if we can get out of the marina? (We're right up by the boathouse so it would have been quite a slog through the ice)....

Gave it a go but chickend-out after just a few metres......it's hard doing anything other than a straight line through ice, innit?

How completely out of character

Why's that?

Because you push the ice and everyone elses boats around . Youve probably cost millions of £ worth of damage and have just admitted it on line .

Don't worry Guv, it wasn't frozen, the water was just a little thick (like my wifes gravy!)

You're right, of course......it was just very hard slush......not ice.....so I should be ok

You cant get away with it so easily. The knock on effect has gone right up the river Wey and you have ruined my gel coat. Expecting a cheque by return

[Captain Coochie]

Are you on the Wey then ? Lovely river that . I hope to do it again this year .

 

[Hugh Foulis]

I am, Addlestone reach behind the Pelican. Usually though, we drop down on to the Thames if we are spending any more than a couple of days on board.
I was down in mid Jan to take our son to Heathrow, he is spending 4 months in Fiji, so I dropped by to see everything was Ok and to re-secure the tarpaulin covers. What depth is the snow and how cold has it been overnight?
