grendel Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Well spotted a blockage at the bilge pump skin fitting, water stream was split, so ideal time to test the sit up paddle board. Board in water, paddle on the side deck, and I lowered myself to standing, then down to kneeling, finally sitting, got to the skin fitting just as the pump started, cleared the blockage and saw all was good.Β Then it was time to give those present a chance of a photo- well those that we awake anyway so cruised down the line of boats and back to water rail, so far, all good. Now how the heck do I get off, solved that by wedging the nose between boat and Quay heading, then walking toe to front and turning round and sitting on the quay heatown heading, so first paddle achievement d without creating aΒ tsunami.Β 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CambridgeCabby Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Can I please thank Neil for once again transporting the forum gazebo and other bulky items aboard Rambling Rosie , and for others for their assistance in the erection and the taking down of the gazebo . A good weekend was had (I believe) by all , Grendels bread was delicious as were the biscuits and blackcurrant vodka Kate generously proffered , as indeed were the delicious cakes here I must apologise as I have forgotten who it was whom disappeared during the quiz to bake them . Also can I thank Socrates for leading the CinC from Ranworth . And finally may I thank everyone who attended and made the weekend the joy it was . 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YnysMon Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 We had such a lovely time. Our thanks to Kate firstly, for making it possible for us to attend, very generously offering to accommodate us as our Moonlight Shadow syndicate allocation ended the Friday right at the start of the meet weekend. An especial thanks for additionally accommodating our son Harry, who had unexpectedly joined us for the second week of our allocation. We found that Kateβs (relatively small boat) can easily accommodate four adults and three dogs. Thatβs one very well designed boat interior! Our thanks to Simon (Cambridge Cabby) and everyone who helped out with the organisation, and to all the other attendees who made us so welcome.Β 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
