Light Breeze

[Jomo]

Looking a bit blowy down there, had the boat put back in the water last week, haven't managed to get down to make things more shipshape yet. Hoping to get down this coming weekend. On the plus side, she hasn't got her sails rigged at the moment, so less windage.
Hope to de-winterise the engine, rig the sails, polish the heads, oh and go for a sail /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif if all goes to plan this weekend.
Does anyone know if they've finished dredgin/ refloated the pontoons at Levington yet?

Dredger was still very much in evidence yesterday (Sunday 09/03).

You could get out if you're moored in the eastern part (Lightship). If you're in the western part you might just scrape through if you're well fendered. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Launched tender in the west and just had enough room to get to the east.

Looks like the tide has hit quite a high now though.... looking at the shotley webcam, the tide is over the top of the lock gates...

I've just had a squall in London, where the rain was bouncing back off the windows in spray and the wind nearly taking tiny little me off my feet (for the uninitiated I'm 6'4 and 17 st)

Thanks for the update.

I was told they'd put me in the Eastern side until they were done (normal berth western side), so should be alright

Neil, where is that camera?

On the Shotley website the web cam faces the other way?

The web cam moves all the time.... at the moment its facing into the marina.... just got to keep an eye on it... I wish they'd leave it alone actually... facing into the marina, so that I can keep an eye on my boat!

 

[Stork_III]

Well they do keep the weather data constant, since 10/1/08. What more do you want?

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

hee hee... yeah... they need to get that sorted...

Tried logging onto the wireless network there last weekend, and it wasn't working... I didn't have time to check it out with the office etc.... but hope that it isn't related....

....wish there was a Pin Mill web cam.....

Lovely here today - 28 degrees C. Quite a strong NE trade though!

Been on the beach and for a dip in the pool

Canaries anytime of year - better than Norfolk!!

Hope no-ones got any photos like that off SYH ! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

 

[Koeketiene]

I wish some-one would post pictures of SYH.

Phoned today to enquire about my pride and joy - "dunno - I'm sure she's fine"

 

[Jomo]

Yep, I've had that niggling worrying feeling for the last 24 hours, and more to come!

Moved my boat on to a Wards swinging mooring Sunday for a lift out this week by Kings boatyard at Pin Mill.
Timing is everything they say!!!!
Oh and when I spoke to Gus at Kings he said ahh not serviced those moorings yet--- should be ok.

Don't know about anywhere else, but Spalding is currently being hammered by the winds and rain, all hatches battened down but it's a lot stronger tonight.
