If anyone is interested there is a boat jumble at Roa Island Sailing Club this Saturday 30th April. It is open to anyone.

I think it is just the keys that are sticking especially when it is cold. A little WD40 does the trick

A challenging trip taking Kesbo to Liverpool to be with its new owner. Duncan and I launched on Sunday thanks to Dave Holmes driving the Merlo. The trip to Piel was challenging enough with high waves near Halfway Shoals. We picked up a mooring opposite the Ship Inn at Piel. That night we were kept a...
