YnysMon Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Trouble with 10 day weather charts is they can be seriously misleading, especially after the first 5 days or so. Before now we’ve looked forward to having a wonderful sunny holiday only to be disappointed by lots of end and showers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moorings are £12 per night. Can we please have your mooring fees paid by the Donate button ( Below the adverts on left). Can you please leave a note, as to your forum name and which boat you are paying for. For anyone wishing to attend that hasn't booked yet we do have a few spares just in case.

SteveO Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Well it looks as though the planets are aligned differently for me this year and it is sadly unlikely that we will be able to attend the meet-up on Windmill Lady. There's still a slim chance that we can attend, and we will if we can, but please take our boat and names off the list and we will take our chances on the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairTmiddlin Posted May 11, 2023 Author Share Posted May 11, 2023 Steve sorry to hear this The places are already booked so if you can, just rock up berth and find me. Hope all goes well for you, was looking forward to catching up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent seen her yet, she only came out for a hull survey and thats when the rudder damage was found, a new rudder is being made and fitted, as that was more urgent than any other work. other than that some woodwork has been sanded down, but due to the weather the varnish has had to wait. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
