I need to put my teeth back in!

I need to retrofit Kesbro with this equipment then I can sit at home and just watch!

Many thanks to all who have taken part in the zoom events and a special thanks to Chris and David who have organised most of the meetings. Anne and I have really enjoyed keeping in touch and hearing everyones news. We have not experienced the trials of isolation here, but hang on! Strike that, we ar...

cars on road, boats in river!

I have 2 moorings in the river and would be willing to loan them out until I get back to England! Inspect them first though and maintain as necessary. No responsibility accepted if your boat ends up in Lancaster!

Great quiz night last night. Thanks to quizmaster Jim Cruise for setting some curly questions. Name of Long John Silvers parrot? What instrument did Mick Fleetwood play? Etc. The hot mince pies went down a treat. Thanks to Chris Booth for the prizes all packaged festively!

Possibly mine, I took my battens out and rolled my main up there and now I can't recall if I picked up the battens. Defo took the sail back to the boat! Will check tomorrow.

But not my typos!

Just a cheery scene featuring Woodbridge tide mill on the River Deben to help you remember that summer is on it's way!

Seen in Fremantle maritime museum!

A little more info. It is Thomsons tidal prediction machine from 1876. It's tempting to think that the world was invented last week but a visit to the science museum in London has put paid to that idea!

Why buy tide tables when you can hand crank this machine for just 4 hours and get tidal predictions for a whole year!

Queen Elizabeth in the channel off Fremantle.

Nice spot on the Serpentine river at Mandurah. Access to the open sea from here and lots of waterways and lakes.

Gulp!!!
