hi peeps just a thought but i presume that when the piccies size problem is sorted, there is going to be a flood of wonderful piccies arrive like the ones above. i think it would be nice if afore mentioned piccies could have date taken logged on the post, for possible future archiving. jill

thats lovely keith jill

we were in a lovely wooden rampart of a friends at the time and becky my daughter slept through the lot. in the end we tied to the water tower wall, under instruction from the harbour master. the tower sucked us in to the wall and nearly holed us on a piece of old metal sticking out of the wall, luckily the metal hit a metal vent on the hull. the owner shot down below and hit the scotch bottle. jill

hi antares not beeing a sea going type may be ive used the wrong term but all i can remember is that we needed higher water to get through the enterance into the mooring in grimsby we also had the same problem when we cruised down to hull from nottingham and had to tie up to the entrance to the fish docks and wait. that must have been about 17/18 years ago. the sight of the ships in the ancorage near bull fort was awsome to a river lubber like me and i was just glad the tide was too low for them to move. jill

anyone got any handy boaty tips? e.g. Milliput- two pack epoxy putty that goes off under water in less than an hour. sticks to virtualy anything. wood, metal, china, fiberglass etc. for those emergancy repairs available from model shops like kellers in norwich costs about £3.50 last time i looked i got called out to a fishing boat in lowestoft that had been let down the slip too fast and strained a plank in a very inaccessible place. the water was comming in so fast it washed the putty away so i wrapped the milliput in some net curtaining to hold it together and wedged it in place. an hour later it was as hard as rock and no leak. jill :

cruised just off the humber years ago while we waited for high enough tide to get over the bar at grimsby. it was a bit rough but nice to see bull fort jill

sea loos love a bit of cooking oil now and then to keep them going jill
