Relaunch and return to Port Solent 30th Nov 2012

GP sporting new Polished SS Anchor and Bow Plate

GP about to be lifted back in

After 6 weeks ashore being cleaned up GP was relaunched today 30th November 2012, it was freezing 2 deg and icey. Sea state calm so I brought the boat back on my own for the first time single handed. On our return we went to our new mooring of P14. All back safe and sound although one of the lock gates had broken and I had to lockin on my own...all went well.

Pimp my Bayliner

I was in the Foulkes (Breakers) Boatyard on the Hamble looking for a small length of 1/4" SS Anchor Chain when I came across this helm wheel (2nd hand) well just could'nt resist it....bargain at just £40, it came off a Fairline or Sunseeker......it will be the nearest I get to owning one!
