On the move (finally)

[Koeketiene]

Left Fox's on Saturday.
Guapa's first day on the water (without mishaps) in just under 2 years.

Some minor issues to be sorted before departure (lazyjacks)

Number 1 child airborne (special mention to Wingdiver for use of the bosun chair and the lift)

Mistress & Commander

New salty old seadog - Steps took better to the boat than expected/hoped for. Expect to see more of her in the near future.

Crew photo - boat & new berth.

Good to see you are out of the hands of the dockyard!

Pirate flag was about 4 miles too far north for party! I am sure Clive & Duncan would have been happy to welcome you to the Walton Backwaters with a suitable gun salute and potato salvo.

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Ah! I did see her and wonder!

 

[sarabande]

all that hard hard slog and months in the workshop (and the work away) look to have paid dividends, judging from the smiles - and that includes the dog.

Enjoy lots of fun and many thousands of miles safe sailing.

Great stuff Will, well done, makes me envious

 

[Jomo]

Excellent Will, 'bout time you had some good news.

Who's that lanky lad by the Mrs? it's never your young man? He is allowed to step out of the growbag now, else he might keep growing

Fabulous pics Will - Im sure all are delighted

Dang, beaten to the launch by a Guapasan
Looking good Will, hope she goes a few years now without any more trouble, but I bet there were a few times when you thought she would never get done ?
Been feeling a lot like that here, found a few more things that needed fixing before daring to show her to the sea again, but nearly there now

Not that you would think so from today's photo

Louise will be starting the clear up in the morning

Had a day of unhurried boatfixing yesterday, very therapeutic. But not when you have been doing it 2 years.
Go out and stretch her legs Will. Landguard Point is only an imaginary shackle!
