ooo-eerrr!

Local Sub-aqua group annual D&D tonight, then ?

Any more pics.....

Thank you Byron. Not too bad then /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Just been speaking to friends on boats at Shiplake and Henley. Henley seems to be benifiting from the wide expanse of low meadow and a Dunkirk spirit seems to prevail amongst the motley crews assembeled there. The Shiplake guys are above the lock on the starb'd side looking upriver and somewhat less comfortable. Water level almost waist high on bankside and needing to keep a careful eye on boats not floating across bank.
TV pix of Marlow with the weir running well and The Compleat Angler clearly in danger of getting rather wet!

Sheduled to meet John Tough at the marina tomorrow morning to do the BSS on Legacy. Will be interesting to see how we get on!

I thought you would have taken in the gazebos!
Here's us at Abingdon this morning (photo courtesy of Chris_d all round super forumite and ODCC member):

Luckily we have the rings, those nearer the bridge are not so fortunate.

 

[byron]

Have you the faintest idea what they weigh and how many dudes are needed to take them down. You should know Ian, those aren't gazebos they are heavy marquees. So heavy I never take the framework down even through the winter.

 

[pheran]

Almost sure I left my fags in the marquee - couldn't slip in and have a look for me could you? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[Ramage]

I hope you are keeping notes of your experiences for the Bray Cruiser News!

[Brayman]

Yeah I meant marquees, but I didn't know how to spell it.
Last time I was in them it rained a bit if I remember.........May Bank Holiday
Let's hope they will be dried out for September.

 

[Brayman]

I can see the whole issue being taken up with Shirley's thoughts and experiences of this summer's cruising!

 

[Chris_d]

This is Winning Spirit this morning, I seem to be lacking a few ropes /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif didn't get them on in time, still it seems to be stable.

Sorry to hijack thread but, just thought you may like to know my uncle used to own Winning Spirit, may have some photos some where when i brought her back from france.

 

[DWT]

Nice indoor swimming pool!

 

[Chris_d]

Wow the power of the forum. I'd certainly be interested in any photos you have.
I bought her 2 years ago, she had just returned from Spain and had just 69hrs on 2 new diesels, i've put another 200 odd hrs on since with one long trip round to Poole and back. When did your uncle own her?

 

[ripley]

about 11-12yrs ago im sure she had a pair of merc v8 petrols but i'll give him a shout & see what info i can get him to dig out
regards
Graham

 

[Chris_d]

[ripley]

Look on the bright side Ian - Looks like a lovely sunny day from your photo...

 

[Brayman]

Don't you think the pictures of both Shirlian and Winning Spirit are a bit sppoky - it all looks so calm!

 

[DogsBody]

Sure does, some of the pictures posted recently really demonstrated the flow rate but these look as you say very calm.

If it keeps up like this, you can borrow my tender to get to Shirlian if you like...
