Painful to see, but it looks like a soft landing - hope they got away with it.

Boat looks OK. It might be a bit difficult to get up when the tide gets to springs, I would offer to help, but don't know who the owner is.
The other one will just float off with enough water.

That doesn't look too bad really, a decent spring tide with a line from the bow away to the left and beyond that post should have her back on her keels

I went to Ravenglass once. It was empty!

The trains run quite regularly, you should have waited.

I went by train expecting to find something on arrival! Saw on TV that it was an important port for the Romans. They had the sense to clear out years ago!

Three rivers, Steam railway,3 pubs, roman bath house, Samphire, flatties, loads of driftwood, Rather large castle with gardens and an owl centre. Start of the Hadrian cycle route, campsite, boats and other perks.
It isn't a big place, were you expecting more?

Had a wander along the east shore of Windermere this afternoon and saw a couple of boats blown off their moorings - a small (18'?) tied up to the jetty at Rayrigg wyke, still atached to the mooring buoy, with what was left of the riser chain piled up on the jetty. The boat looked OK but some of the chain links were only about 3 or 4 mm thick in places - it would be interesting to know when it was last renewed.
Further up the lake - about 200m up from Miller Ground - there's a bigger fin-keeler right on the shore - the lake's quite high at present - right over on it's side. Couldn't get any nearer to it (no footpath that way) but I was wondering how long it's been there for - the weather's been fine for the past 2 days, but it's going to get windy again tonight, and probably stay like that for the rest of the week.

You haven't read my thread then. http://www.ybw.com/forums/showthread.php?382651-Just-been-for-a-short-walk-(with-pictures)
The jetties are at Lower Miller Ground. Rayrigg Wyke is the bay that has no public access further South.
The only way they'll be able to recover the yacht Defiance is to careen it over and hope it floats on it's starboard bilge. I don't think there's enough rain forecast to raise the water level at all. The UFO 31 that Nathan now has also ended up just like that boat (before Nathan bought it) and they just about managed to lift it with a Hiab on a pontoon barge.

Hi Lakey, no, hadn't seen your post, looks like I took the same route about an hour or two after you - nice pics, and an education on sheep husbandry to boot!

Looking at my pics I was taking the pic of the larger yacht at 3.00pm. Started the walk at 2.30 and finished at 3.30pm. We may have crossed paths.

Starlight looks ( apart from the well ) like a Pegasus 700
the other is a Prelude

I'm not too sure Starlight is a Pegasus 700, then I'm not used to seeing them from that angle; may not be the best news if she is, a chum at my club bought one and found out the hard way that the keel attachment is not exactly battleship strength, she sank as soon as he put her on a soft mud mooring - there was a bodged repair he'd missed and the keel came straight off, looking at the attachments was a bit toe-curling.

Here is a different angle then.

Thanks for that, very helpful ! Even I can tell a Prelude...
