The Magnetism of a Salty Bottom!

[MY littleboat]

So whilst the Northern Crowd were busy filling their bellies somewhere up North, an odd thing happened. A few of the salties found themselves, just by chance, on Breydon at the same time! Indeed even the local Broads Rozzers were there to give a cheery wave as we swept by!

I'll get a few pics up at a later time as they are at home on the other camera but here are a few bits and bobs to wet the appetite!

PS Thanks for the impromptu launch party and the co-launch party that was on-going!!!! (Birchwoo is back!!!)

And this too!

I know the chap on "Blue River" and I think that must be the first time he's gone across Breydon, so it's great to see him out We'll have another Salty Bottom soon I reckon!

[MY littleboat]

Yep Mark, Tina and Holly joined us at the weekend and are on the forum! All very welcome, and fully converted!!!

Great to see all the Sea Boats having fun, those Birchwoos look great but what is the sports cruiser making them look so pedestrian?

Ian

I think the word you are looking for is sophisticated

Tracy

And at least I WAS on the flybridge this time

[senator]

Great to see it Tracy, can't wait to see the new machine. Still trying to find a way round a house viewing for this weekend so we can get to the boat.

Or possibly, stable.

[wayneakp]

[senator]

You are of course right David, so difficult to pack your pipe if the boat is moving.

[Antares_9]

And your slippers stay on Ian, don't forget the slippers.

[wayneakp]

They do the slippers in Tartan Ian

Well I guess that when you get to our age Wayne we look for the stability and a hull that isn't ao thin that you can read through it. Lol!!!!

Gosh, I dunno Ian, all these lame justifications for being SLOOOOOOW! (Of course I shall eat my words the next time there is more than a 0.5m swell )

I reckon we ought to arrange a little Birchwoo, Pealine photo opportunity. They'd look fantastic line abreast, though clearly us Pealines would only be able to use one engine for the photo ......

[MY littleboat]

I'm not sure that I'd want to be that near to a skittish praline at slow speed. Lol. Seriously though. I'm over the moon to hear that you are keeping serenity. By the way snap davits are 29 quid each at blue water marine. You'll be wanting to refit those soon I guess!

Birchwoo Two engine 20kts one engine 10 kts

Pealine two engine 30kts one engine 5kts

Pealine all or nothing really.

I can only conclude that the race to London and back was won by a Priceless and a Birchwoo both on one engine.

[quo vadis]
