CI clean bill of health

[Dave_Snelson]

Here's me - Mr. Worrier...

Coney Island given a glowing report by my engineer and a "don't worry too much about them small blisters" by a local boat builder. The sticky reverse lever problem was a dodgy cable, now replaced and the motors are running just fine. Re-antifouled the legs and buffed the bottom and she is ready to take on the Winter season.

I will take her back to Porthmadog in the next two weeks (the sea-state was a bit tasty today, even for me!) and get on with enjoying my boating.

A warm welcome to the "open season" to one and all who enjoy Winter boating. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Bizarre thing about Pwllheli was that we saw the water off Criccieth at 09:30 as we drove (by car) round the headland and it was real lumpy with lots of white caps. We then did all the work we wanted to on CI and 5 hours later drove back the same way with the SW wind increasing it's stength and when we came over the headland going back, there wasn't a white cap in sight.

Blimmin bizarre!!

Sometimes you look from the shore as you drive along and think (blimey it looks ok for a blast!)
Then by the time your underway the Sea has gone all lumpy! /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif
