pks1702 Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 Hi Jonny, Thanks for comments and wishes for Tina. She will have her second round of Chemotherapy tomorrow. The excellent weekend was just the tonic needed to lift the spirits; indeed we almost forgot what was lurking in the background. No chance to 'open up' Kingfisher or Kiki on the way back due to the fog but we did manage to spin the turbo's just enough on the way down to clear those 'spiders' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 to spin the turbo's just enough on the way down to clear those 'spiders' i wounder if i can get one for Curlew that would show you and some trimtabs :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pks1702 Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 I had read it Jonny and assumed it was 'spinning up' but to no great effect. Hope you get the prop issue sorted - but no having Curlew planing................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pks1702 Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 A great weekend for this time of year. Saturday saw David reinstalling his Webo after an overhaul but diagnosing later on in the afternoon that the exhaust stub had broken just on the boat side of the skin fitting. With fading light and no real way I could see of getting the skin fitting off the hull without damaging it David came up with a flash of brilliance with a laterally thought solution - very impressive. Just as well as it was starting to drop down very cool. In the evening we went to the Shotley Point Yacht Club Christmas Party they are a great bunch - for Yotties we were accompanied Ian & Liz (Palmtree) as the close protection squad for the crews of Kingfisher & Kiki. A very cordial evening was enjoyed by all including some silly Christmas games to round the evening off. Today saw all six of us taking advantage of a glorious morning albeit it was very icy to start. Kingfisher & Kiki had a run up to Wrabness to blow a few spiders from the engines, this included the Skipper of Tamara proving that he knows only two positions on a Motor Boat throttle full stop or full ahead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pks1702 Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 I'm afraid not this time Jonny I asked SWMBO to put my camera in the bag coming to the boat and guess what... she forgot. One and only time I have not done it myself.... only myself to blame There would have been some crackers from the Christmas Party Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palmtree Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 the Skipper of Tamara proving that he knows only two positions on a Motor Boat throttle full stop or full ahead Well you do not trim a sail for half power, and what is this full stop setting? Thanks all for a very good evening and trip out, we both enjoyed it very much. Ian ( 16 weeks time) Meanwhile, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pks1702 Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 In the words of Jill .......... Wey Hey After seeing the consulatnt this afternoon he has given the first mate clearance to go to the boat for a few days. A real bonus after a pretty miserable Christmas for her. Added bonus is that the automatic Webo system (well David - Antares) is sticking the Webo on tonight to get the ship warmed through. The Shipwreck here we come As I won't be able to say it tommorow a very Happy New Year to all forum members Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pks1702 Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 Thanks to all for their New Year wishes - I hope you had a good one. We left early on New Years eve and arrived to find our ship opened, de covered, aired and warm - thanks David much appreciated. We enjoyed a very civilised New Years eve in The Shipwreck dodging Gansters & Molls a nice meal and some bubbly - well quite a bit actually The Harwich fireworks overseen by the RNLI were spectacular lasting almost 20 minutes. I wanted to go out and take some photo's but we were locked in The Shipwreck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pks1702 Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 We met with our own site Pilot on Friday evening - very good to see you both Rod & Shirley. Venue was the Butt & Oyster at Pin Mill One of the highly rated Deben Inns establishments, it lived up to its reputation with Wherry on that just had to be tried. My own opinion of it was that it was very good but you might have to ask those that took a little more than me to decide http://www.debeninns.co.uk/buttandoyster/ambience.html As many will know Pin Mill was the home of Arthur Ransome and his boat the 'Nancy Blackett' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
