Boat Lift, Monday 22nd July 2013
At some point it was inevitable, a boat lift would be needed, a weird noise coming from the engine and initial thoughts are the cutlass bearing has gone on the boat, but not to be the case.
The boat was lifted out and aroud the prop shaft was fishing line, remembering when this happened was easy.
Last Summer whilst out on the Humber, we had encountered a gent fishing off the Marina near the Locke, too close to the locke and we snagged his line nearly pulling the chap of the locke wall, but you would think in broad daylight he would have seen us and brought his line in, i guess he missed the lesson on when fishing where you're not supposed to and looking out for yachts with large masts.
Anyway, the lift went well. Just need the boat back in the Marina so we can sail it, especially with this nice weather we're having.

1st June 2013 Sailing, River Humber
Sailing on Saturday was eagerly anticipated, it didn't disappoint me, but the weather was supposed to be warm and sunny throughout the day, however during the day it was cloudy and at some points i was wondering if we were going to experience rain.
The river though was very flat and calm and a light breeze swept across the river, as we headed out of the lock we headed towards the Ferry Terminal and then back up the river towards the Humber bridge.
It had been a long time since i was able to have lunch whilst sailing and during the afternoon the sun pocked through the clouds, it wasn't until the evening that the weather really picked up and the sun was out in all it's glory, by that time though we had arrived back in the Marina in Hull.
A good sailing trip and although i'm not a fan of the P1 Powerboats, we did see them racing around their course in front of St. Andrews Quay.
