Lost dinghy

[Slow_boat]

When I got back to my mooring on Sunday my dinghy was missing, so if anyone finds a white 9ft GRP with pale blue inside, grey plumbers lagging on gunwales and labled 't.t. Hilsa' in marker pen somewhere in the Crouch, it's mine. Two new oars, too.

I thank you.

Dear Slow Boat.

I sympathise, but you should have painted it summat lurid. My yellow dinghy was nicked and pressed into service by some burglars who then abandoned it. When I phoned your marine colleagues, they sighed until I told them it was bright yellow. They knew where it was immediately.

It is now back on the sea wall at Burnham doing nothing in particular. You may borrow it if you wish. I could bring it to Fambridge pontoon on Saturday evening if you wish.

Louise wants to paint our rigid one bright red white and blue, sounds like it might actually be a good idea

Thanks kindly, Fullcircle. As it happens, I treated myself to a rubber dinghy and outboard from ebay for my birthday, so I can manage.

I don't know if it was nicked, set adrift or if the painter just came undone. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Such is life, I suppose. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Love to but I can't get away until Monday when I've got to get Simon to wire in my chart plotter.

Where and when please mr FC seeing you owe me after the indian gift of sailing burnhm week

 

[FullCircle]

hahahahahahahahaha!!!!


I actually do have a crate of Tiger beer on board.....an Indian gift indeed.

We will be alighting on the Fambridge pontoon sometime around 5-6pm.

We expect to have a Chotapeg aboard whilst primping ourselves for the evening repast, and then a promenade up through the boat yard either to the Marina bar, or to the Ferry Boat. Either way, we will be eating ashore.

We are graced with the company of Bean and Mrs Counter, and Lynn will join us in the late afteroon, having discharged her duties to the sick and malingerers currently availing themselves of our wonderful NHS.

I will PM you with my number....

well now that sounds like an excellent plan.

The Haven (marina bar) is quite busy so reserving a place would be recommended, also not sure if they have their licence yet so may need to bring your own falling down water.

I have Liz's number and can do that deed if required

I will fire up my chart plotter and join you on the pontoon and prob have a poodle down river on Sunday
