I agree, as a general rule of thumb it’s wholly acceptable to replace any excess fruit content with rum! On a boat anyway…

Pozzie is keeping his powder dry there…I think he is studying the form and loving how good Seren is, but planning his attempt at the title

Ah I’m glad you got to Winterton, it’s so lovely. My favourite bit of coast I think

That made me laugh, thanks- much needed at the mo!

Sounds like this is the litter for you Griff, and Purdey is amongst that pile of puppies. I’m sure that the grandchildren will soon be happy again after the last disappointment, and losing Macie. Those pics Little Purdey will have been worth the wait I’m sure!

I think I’d describe it as blowing a hoolie today

Lovely to see you back on the water- congrats on the purchase- she looks lovely in those pics Will give you a wave if I spot you out Im guessing someone has already notified the broadbands establishments to increase their stock levels now you’ll be about more often??

Silica bags are available from amazon- various sizes and what not. I got a couple of large ones a few years ago for in the car - it’s a rag top so I wanted to be sure nothing was amiss- something like these work a treat. They come out of the outer bag, put them in your oven on low for a couple of hours every few months and they are as good as new. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Seal-Products-Damp-Eater-anti-humidity/dp/B00AZZB5UY/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=silica+bags+for+moisture&qid=1597084284&sprefix=silica+bags&sr=8-7 Good luck MM!

Many congratulations Mr & Mrs Peters- hope you had a wonderful day together!

I’m sure she will take it all in her stride- really sensible to give her time to settle by the sound of it. Lots of time for boating in the future with her

And welcome to the forum Danni- I’m sure you’ll have Ray around your paw in no time. Has Danni been out on the boat yet-Getting a bit of wind in the fur??

Welcome to the world Purdey, dog mum certainly looks pleased with herself. Prices are eye watering, but Ray is spot on- she will be priceless...

Congratulations! Have a wonderful day (and honeymoon)!

Oooh- that was a bit mean....certainly not! Hic

Well....I’m guessing that tonight is Jays last night with Shadow. I think lots of us have seen just how much he has enjoyed his time with her, so I hope he is ensuring that his fond memories are resolutely in place for the future. Good luck Jay, with whatever the future holds and thanks for sharing the tales And so many congrats to the new shareholders, I’m sure you are both soooo excited

Love the pics Jay- what a lovely part of the river

Sounds lovely, and what timing! The weather for the next couple of weeks is looking pretty good save for a hiccup on Monday, enjoy your time family Griff

Lovely write up Helen, thank you for sharing. How lovely that you were offered the chance to take her out. She is a stunning boat, and clearly held in such regard by her previous and current owners. I fully understand your initial nerves- I would feel exactly the same I’m sure, but it’s clear from your fond words that you will have very carefully looked after her for the entirety- and if boats have soul (I’m a firm believer they do!) WR will have appreciated your care and having the opportunity to do what she does best!

Oh I'm definitely no competition for Helen or CC! And I shall not glory on my one round win too much, it wouldn't be distasteful, but champers has less calories than gin, so I shall look forward to a glass of that when I next spot you cruising by

Oh, this may well be the start of something I’m not sure a stab in the dark is quite my style- I need to be a bit more sure before I can enter the competition- it’s clearly quite hotly contested! And prize....oooh I don’t know....anything so long as it is not chocolate (I need to loose some lockdown weight!)....

Sorry- delay in my post...youngest child just hurling in his bed How quick is the fall from winner in this game?!

Honestly I'd no idea...have been feeling a bit left out of this pub game of yours as sadly I can't actually remember the last time I was inside a pub...But a flash of inspiration came in the form of your post and there it is...winner of a round. Is there a prize?

Oooooh I know, I know!!!, number 1- its the Kings Head!

Lovely pics as always, and seems this will be quite a poignant summers tale if this is your swan-song with Shadow. Enjoy the rest of your time, and sending best wishes for wherever your new adventure takes you

Oooh Stella- horrid fizzy, chemical stuff.....whatever floats your boat I suppose...
