. Well, it's been Ok for more than a week now, so can be used on the slip with caution. It's possible that there may be a little back up battery in the ECU to store it's settings, time will tell when we investigate later. The headstock with the fork is currently at Horn's for sandblasting and painti...

. Barnfields came again on Friday and again the computer reset cured it, but I don't think we should trust it near the water line on the slip in case we can't get it to reverse. The JCB and its torpedo are still working fine. . It seems to me (and others) that we have a dry joint or a loose connecti...

. As Val has already alluded to in the email, the Bar has reopened. In line with the refurbishment it was decided to review our beer supplier and types. We now have 2 premium beers for your delectation . An English ale Lancaster Blond Bitter a golden fresh beer light and eminently quaffable although...

. Come and join friends on this Saturday (11th Sept) for a Treasure Hunt round the village during the day, and to support the volunteers who have reopened the Bar at the Club. Yes, it's short notice, but the Bar has only just opened....also we know that the weather is reasonable on Saturday for this...

No it's not ok after all.

now we suspect the 1-0-2 gear switch.

Barnfields are coming again tomorrow
.

It is ok again .

The fault was the throttle position sensor and it has been reset by Barnfields with his computer.

A magical place, and all the moorings still intact, we are on no2 and had plenty of water under us at Lw. Garry arrived just before low complete with dog and friends. D

.
The weather is looking very promising. Does anyone fancy joining us for a trip across the Bay on Tuesday and back on Wednesday? That will mean help is available for launch and recovery.

we have got quite a few to sort out now, will probaly make them into a video.

saturday's start:

. . At present the club has no moorings officer so sailors are encouraged to please report back exactly what they find whilst at Piel, preferably with a photo of the buoy they are moored up to and a photo of their GPS screen (ideally taken whilst the tide is flooding for consistency of location, ple...

. After a night at abermenai at anchor we sailed round to Pilots cove on Wednesday and that was certainly a day of two halves. We had a walk around the perimeter of the Island and by the time we got back, which was only just over an hour, the boat was throwing about like a silly thing and not very f...

Thanks very much John and Jean for your efforts sorting the Piel moorings out - it is great when somebody takes positive action off their own bat!

Cheers David

A novel way of testing the anchor winch at Abemenai. Point.
.
Pilots cove tomorrow, then Caernarfon for the night, strong winds forecast for Friday.

Back on board after a peaceful walk ashore in Port Dinorwick. The pub was doing a roaring outdoor trade to people watching the sunset across the straits. Big John in My Cloud passed us going down the Swellies bound for Barmouth this afternoon.

.
Meanwhile at the other end of Wales we have just picked up a mooring at Beaumaris with stunning views as ever across to Snowdonia.

Many thanks to Mick Bull who got up very early this morning to launch us into a very low tide at 7. 8 m with no no worries.

. . The Piel Moorings have been Renewed, transported around Morecambe Bay and connected to our existing ground tackle in front of the Ship Inn by members of Barrow Diving Club last weekend. A big thank you to all those who have helped make a success of this project, all conducted over a very difficu...

Hi John and Jean, great first post thanks.!

Those leading lights into the harbour are not very clear without binoculars. Goodness knows how a stranger would go on entering in the dark in a blow.

Cheers David

Thanks to Gilly, Norman and John hollows the boat is back on its trailer just at the edge of dark.

We had a dream cruise around Morecambe bay this evening just to kill a bit of time In order to get here at high water.

The joys of Morecambe bay sailing.
