Sea Queen is so this season - anyone else want to come out?

See Queen for me too!

Oh and this is how you get the work done. (http://pics.livejournal.com/scy11a/pic/000148zx)

Didn't cross my fingers long enough.

Last night 8m tide and a strong EAST wind, forward mooring chain parted - all the mooring apparently in v. .good order - found the forward mooring chain(v. good condition)was made up of two sections joined by a shackle, which was badly worn, this end of the chain was in deep mud, and almost impossible to lift. Now back on mooring but with a fair amount of damage as the boat was blown into a railway bridge crossing part of the harbour, probably will have to lift out - instead of lift in - to repair - bang goes the sailing. The rib certainly has had a testing time - grateful for help from fellow club members and a Range Boat..

Thanks folks for the commiserations and good wishes.
The bizarre thing is that, that night for the first time ever I dreamed about my boat: I had gone down to the harbour and found it with damage to one topside.

In my Bible reading, opening at random - as is my wont - at Acts Ch2 and read part of Peter's sermon on the Day of Pentecost, where he quotes the prophet Joel, ".....your young men shall see visions and your old men shall dream dreams...."
I didn't think it referred to mundane things like boats! and I don't know if I qualify being only 79 years young.
Maybe I'd have been better praying than (metaphorically) crossing my fingers!!
or, probably, digging out the whole length of the forward mooring chain!
