Had a fantastic trip on the Wash last night. Boston Belle with party through the town out along the channel to Tabs Head and then down to Fosdyke. Wind over tide on the way out but great on the way back. Tide held back so we were about an hour before we came back through the lock.

Trip on the wash
Sunday, June 13th, 2010Photos of Prince Charles during refit
Sunday, June 6th, 2010Below are a few photos taken during March and April. Due to the ice damage sustained during the winter three planks needed to be replaced on the port side and twenty two timbers (ribs) needed to be sistered. Planking is in African Mahogany and the timbers are steamed oak. Sorry did not take as many photos as I should have.
The Wedding Party
Saturday, June 5th, 2010Two hour cruise along the Ouse and Cam hosting a wedding party of 32. Plenty flowing an they seemed to enjoy themselves thoroughly. Graham impressed by the new dipstick (no not me!) and the hangers. Helming her back I had to get the weekender’s. A narrowboat going deadslow. A very small pram dinghy where the helm seemed to be close to getting a wet bottom. A cruiser hogging the whole of the bridge and another who decided to shoot anouther bridge with a blind bend on the wrong sided into the path of another oat. I thought I needed practice.
