Gains receipt of the state pension today

Don't suppose it will have a positive impact on his willingness to buy the odd round.

Happy Birthday Douglas.

And in such company!

aw jings a michty ... "I want a wee wee" wailed the grandson at 2am, so up I got only tae find yersel' oan the potty, stuff of nightmares I tell you ....

there's a chance we might get it done from this Monday ..... itherwise, yer kind offer will be greatfully accepted. What I think will happen is, if we don't get it done, we'll shift the boat right out the way in the yard and do it when its really warm (if ever??)

Not so bad, eh? hersel' was jist magnificent ... between us we painted 15 ltrs epoxy between monday and wednesday

Tell me your boat isn't held up by a ladder to port and a wooden post to starboard and that the props are somehow hidden!

Nice job btw
Donald

Yacht legs? Nice shape to her hull there, Para.

She's a real beauty . . . I always wanted a Tradewind 33 until I realised to my horror that they were an auld goat's sort of vessel . . .

Thanks, Donald

They are legs! .. she weighs abt 10t

She's a Tradewind 35.

35 feet of boat must be great, until it comes time to epoxy / antifoul / polish and you wish that she was a Leisure 17!

How do the yard get the boats so tightly packed? Do they use a crane rather than a travelhoist?

Lots of masts still rigged. Sheltered yard?

Those lifty uppy things don't need much space between boats.

Great boats. We had a very pleasant evening on board 'Ambler of Arne', a Tradewind 33 (Scotty_Tradewind on YBW), in Bunessan last year.

Here's her leaving on the way north; Linda's at the wheel and was shortly thereafter up the mast freeing the jib.

Please say "Hello!" for us whenever you see them again.
