Why does it always go wrong when everyone is watching?

If i had been on my third beer i suspect it would have been much better!

For the record and in case anyone here things their boat was in danger of being hit by a loony in a rib, i just didnt manage to get alongside first time, i needed a little wiggle to get the back end in and a heave on the bow line that had already been put over...

Engine cover is very good and more and more popular, keep the expensive cowling protected and looking like new underneath. not cheap mind at £300 ++ but well worth it. it also allows access to the fresh water flush and trim buttons on the side without having to remove it.

I prefer to keep the engine out of the fairway where it is less likely to get clouted

I was in Lyme Regis today and noticed that everyone in the inner harbour with a raised o/b had a bucket over their prop. The rows of boats are very close together and so I guess it saves both props and gelcoat.

As they say, mooring is not an art, it's a spectator sport....
