The Medway Tealeaves

[oldgit]

Took a friend out to collect his small yacht from a mid river trot mooring today opposite the Strand, to move it into the Segas Sailing Club boatyard.
Had been down to check the boat about a week before.

Somebody had been aboard and nicked...
1 x Spirit Stove.
1 x Marine Radio.
1 X ??? Marine Battery , left the second one behind.
2 x Saloon seat/berth cushions.
None of it was in exactly pristine condition.
The engine key they must have thrown over the side, being a proper Sheppey buoy, this presented no problems at all in getting the engine going.

All appearing at Boot Fair near me soon, presumably.

Segas have a webcam looking out over the river but don't know if it records, worth asking.

Thanks for the tip. Suspect the little S***s responsible did this after dark.

Very much doubt that the PWC boys are involved and quite frankly anybody from the yachting fraternity would avert their eyes and hurry on past regards this particular vessel.
My thoughts are more towards somebody who would find the spirit cooker immediately useful rather than as something to sell on. ?
As for the seat cushions ?

Ps Yes, It has been reported to the Police.

Disappointing to hear, sounds like an unlikely target and a lot of effort this time of year for not much return.
