Sadly she has to go see here we had wonderful times with her and made many good friends but we need the money on a plus side miniskip has a 10 foot dingy with a seagull outboard so we will still be about !
we have already been out on the dinghy several times and I must say it gives you a different view ie I now can see why robos get so stressed last time out we were on the slip at isleworth a pleasure cruiser ( turks I think ) came steaming past and the wash almost capsised us and I got very wet !
And with the "proper" engine that you have, you can explore all those little side streams that you can't do in a bigger boat. The 'gull can take the knocks (whereas the modern engines with plastic props can't), and the weed cutter blade is very useful!
Turks don't go down as far as Isleworth normally ...
Unless ....
The have damaged the boat and need to beach it ( like the other day when the prop fell off the Southern Belle !! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif )
Currently we have the back door of the Richmond Royale in the bottom of the lock where it fell off the other day /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif
The tide is in their favour on a night party and they can cruise down and get back up without locking through Richmond. There are only a couple of the Turks boys licenced for the tideway IIRC.
