Shite day today

[Seastoke]

So we left home at six raining cats and dogs , got Dartmuf at 10.30 , we were told boat would be in by 11!! It should have been put in yesterday. Boat was still on the hard , crane had broke down. So by 3pm we got launched , fired up genny got smell of diesel , filter replaced now good to go . So at five we we off for Salcombe 2 mile off shore , bilge alarm goes off I soot down the lazerette and water pissing out of port engine , switched off and headed back to Dartmouth. Thank god for thrusters, any way , the oil cooler had slipped out of the hose to the water pump , testing tomorrow.

Forgot to say the company that did the antifoul also made a crap job it looks like a wave painted it on.

The joys of owning a boat hope you get it sorted ready for the weekend

 

[Martxer]

Who did the antifoul?

 

[Bouba]

Port cranes always seem to be in trouble...either they breakdown or it’s too windy.
Once in our port, every vehicle that tows the boat cradles to the crane broke down all at once just before my boat was due to be craned in...they ended up towing her with a ten ton dump truck

 

[Seastoke]

the antifoul was done by Zenith , so the good news we left Dartmuf at 6.30 to catch high water in Salcombe , it was choppy but kept a steady 22 knots with 85 temp , shite day what shite day.

Somebodt else who wants him to leave

You need to come back to the Welsh Med. I no longer have the energy to do anything and the chattel are in revolt. I need a new skivvy and am happy to overlook all your other failings

That is one of the reasons I always do it myself

Perhaps they painted a wave so it looked like the boat was moving.

Well spotted. She’s not called Marina Queen for nothing

 

[Bouba]

Unfortunately it’s windy here today…that means all the yotties are returning to port and crashing into the boats already tied up. I wanted to go out this evening but now I think I’ll stay onboard with a boat hook guarding my gel coat

 

[LBRodders]

Must be decent beer in the west country. Not only has he forgotten his name, he's also forgotten the brand and model of his boat.

The proof is that no fairline owner has ever hidden under a sealine alias..

Well Stella , at least it can move sideways, with the thrusters.

Brilliant

You pair should be on Gogle box as a couple.

 

[Binnacle]

That is one of the reasons I always do it myself

I believe the professionals have to take precautions

1 against contaminating the environment by having tarpaulins or suction systems, and

2 against painters becoming covered in AF paint.


You might like to correct me if I am wrong. I do not, however, anticipate a reply.

Was enjoying our stay on the boat and going for long walks…got back to the boat and found the electric cut…lots of swearing later I found that it was the calorifier…told the wife that tomorrow I will take out the heating element and buy a replacement…she replied that how was I going to find one on Good Friday on the island…next day I bought one..and only three times the price…now we have lovely hot water. All it cost was my arthritic knees, my temper and another strain on our marriage.

That’s nothing, our booze fridge failed yesterday - had to drink warm wine last night
