Med boaters - will you get to your boat this year?

[BruceK]

Isle of Man...”social distancing measures free since 2020”.....except for a 3 week circuit breaker in January 2021 but we don’t talk about that ???

But you still have no boat and nowhere you could go had you one.

 

[Bouba]

Still at anchor. Last night was so still it was like being in a caravan. Until the 6 am ferry wake nearly throws you out of bed



These aren’t great pictures but I’m digesting my lunch and can’t be bothered to move ?
We’ll leave in a couple of days ?

Not only is the bay full of boats and the beach full of people on this beautiful February day. But they are also filming a movie ?

Wax on, wax off. Wax on, wax off. Keep rubbing it in why dont you.

Seacock.......go back to B&Q for your boat parts.

if you put a passarelle on a sealine it would crack stern to bow

Where do you go for house repairs jimmy Green.

You are right. Time to take the dinghy ashore and go on a forced dog march

 

[BruceK]

Send more pics!

I think you've killed the forum. Nobody has posted since you started. They're all off on a huff and sulk.

I’ve killed many a thread since I joined but this is the first for a nice reason ?

Your dinghy needs a good clean. You’re letting the side down.

The whole boat needs cleaning badly!
She was supposed to be taken out of the water months ago, first came lockdown then the crane broke down (or was having a major overhaul, I’m not sure which). Anyhow, the crane is now up and running and I’m determined to get her out the water next week at the latest ????

 

[longjohnsilver]

Excuses, excuses. Could all have been sorted in the time you’ve taken to rub our lockdowned noses in your current exploits. No sympathy from me

Look, I have lots more excuses ?
My shoulders are delicate, my back unwilling to bend, many other calls on my time. And if that wasn’t enough, I’ve been mentally overwhelmed by the sheer amount of work needed ??

 

[BruceK]

Those are my excuses. Make your own!

LJS knows a lot about boat cleaning and detailing....he paid for it and did it himself......that’s commitment
