Have you been out yet in 2022

[Bigplumbs]

Well it was cold today in Suffolk UK at about 3 degrees C but the sun was lovely and there was no wind at all. We decided we would have our first trip out in one of our smallest boats.... While it was cold and no one else was out...... Well apart for 6 Cold water Swimmers.... we thought we were mad but this first little trip did us the world of good and my Gem of a Tohatsu 9.8 hp 2 stroke short shaft started and ran a dream.

Have any others been out yet in a boat in 2022

A video of our trip below...... Towards the end is another view of the Deben Entrance from the air at low water.

She wasn’t at first but said she had a lovely day……. Like most creatures of the female design she complains about the cold

The App it was using is Navionics

Navionics | Mobile App for Boating and Fishing

What drone is a massive subject Go on you tube and watch Ian in London. No licence needed but do need to take a very easy on line exam and register. Don’t get a cheap drone go for a DJI product and look at the DJI Mini 2 fly more package

glad you liked the video thanks

Looks a lovely day... It was the lovely sun that did it for us. You have rather more shelter in the boat you took out though ?.

Pity about the one laying on its side
