Or water
Ha Ha
PS: Your decks look really good - got a quote from Stazo which looks doable.
It's just all the upheaval - removing the fittings & making good - which is making me hesitate a little. I can do it , but do I want to lose another season?
OP - sorry for the thread drift

Drifting
Well, I found that some of the deck stuff is immovable and I thought, well, that's just as well. With care you can do it where you can't get it orf. I may be rationalising, but I don't think my old crate will gain in value - so I've spent me money on sails, seagoing kit, tiller-pilot, and so on to help me sail and have fun before I swallow the anchor. I've abandoned maintaining resale value or whatever. Thing is - I went for cream decks cause that's what I wanted - against all the association/designer specs etc. On the mooring and in marinas I feel like Captain Custard but on a bright day under sail, cracking on, it looks as it should and it's both easy on the eye and reminds me of all those cream n maroon things I adored as a fifties child..at least I don't get a tan from the decks......
apologies too for drift....
ps Green thing on foredeck? Astroturf, but I can't get the mutt to use it...

Unpredictable year. Dull summer. This high looks like it's stickin for a bit now so take may poke me nose out thurs/fri.
Speaking of full-service pontoons - now here's a place looking for custom....

A pretty place?
July 2011
Best found on a flood tide as the entrance shallows and shifts. Very East Coast.
The place is Ortiguera in Galicia, Nthn Spain. Pilot says drying harbour but it's been dredged, pontooned and spruced. Thing is, nobody seems to know so I counted something like 50+ empty full serviced berths...very Celtic. They like their bagpipes there....
