Iain,
I remember friends who use to go fishing off Queensferry and they said they had to put extra line on their reels to reach the bottom, but I have no idea how deep it is.
I think the water is pretty deep under the bridges. Navy ships and I think even submarines have gone into Rosyth, so a tunnel would be a long way down and would have to start and finish from a long way away.
Hi Wonderwall,
I've done it once with the help of the guys at the yacht station. They had me come in and held the bow rope. The tide swung the stern all the way round and job was done.
Still morning Alan - 3 hours in front of you.
We are on the water from 2nd to 9th April and then 22nd to 29th July, so we will make the summer meet at Oulton. Would be nice to have a beer or 2.
Morning Alan,
I suppose it's all down to what you want. I work hard and like to enjoy my time off. If I take our holiday in April - it will cost 1,700 for the flights, 400 for the car, 1,200 for the boat and 1,000 for spends - all in a week!!!
WORTH EVERY PENNY TO US......
Commodore is just over half of that in April for a week, but I'm paying that for one week in July on Fair Chancellor, so the time of the season plays a big difference in cost.
I've used Phillips rotary shavers for years and can't fault them. My latest is rechargable and rinses clean under the tap. A charge covers a week on the boat with no problem at all.
Sculling was the first thing I learned in moving a boat. It was a clinker built tender in the local harbour that was moored to the bottom of a ladder and used by fishermen to get to their boats moored on bouys. A young lad was a handy way to take the tender back to shore if they were going out fishing.
Morning John,
Just returned from getting the patch off. Still not a lot of focus, but loads more light, so we'll give it a few hours and see. (pun intended) lol
