Up against the wall tomorrow

by BruceK » 05 Jan 2016, 12:50

Tomorrow I shall be mostly sitting on the deck pushing the boat away from the wall with my feet for 4 hours :(

Hope it doesn't bloody rain too. Got some unfinished business from summer, but it'll be wet and windy and awful cold this time

Just logged in on my PC and think I can see what you are talking about now. Am I right in saying that at low tide, there is a wall at the bottom of your mooring which sticks out and you'll be trying to keep your boat clear? If so ouch! :shock:

We'll pray for sun today. :D

A really nice looking boat you have! Is it 6 berth? Diesel I guess?

Thank you, yes 6 berth yes plus 2 under canvas if pushed. However 5 adults is a good number or the head and water get punished

I agree Stu, that really is a lovely looking boat, I'm sooo jealous. Did he tell you how much he paid for it and how much work the previous owner had done. Lucky bugger! :D :D

Out of interest Bruce, Do you use any sort of antifoul on your props? My prop is Stainless too and i can't bring myself to paint it but have tried Propshield with no luck at all. It fouls with weed really badly and is constantly requiring cleaning.
Do you have this problem?
