Stuck in the mud & a speeding warning..

Post by john-e89 » Sun Jul 11, 2021 3:36 pm

:P

Tides coming in so a cheeky little run out of Padstow to see if the dolphins are playing ball before the footy…

Got my knuckles a little rapped yesterday for not slowing down soon enough….. :oops: Ooopsie…. :lol:

(Stupid boat name….not got round to changing it yet… :roll: )

Glad you are able to make use of the boat. Enjoy it. I expect the Nauti Girl will be used to Seaman on her. :oops:

Well then you are living the dream! And it's good to hear that you have finally got what you wanted for so long. :thumbsup:

But your boat looks far from basic. In your photos it's top of the range in Padstow!

You should see some of the cruisers in the inner harbour Mr T….I couldn’t get a berth there so having to slum it on the outer harbour…. :lol: It’s better there though tbh as the inner harbour guys have to wait for the sea gates to open, I can get off as soon as it’s afloat, a good hr before the gates open. I was on a swinging mooring this week out in the channel, had to swim to the boat and back with my son, was a lot of fun and good to have a long swim each day :thumbsup:

    Life is a journey to be lived, fulfilment of dreams and sharing them with the ones you love is the best part of the journey. Love the name of the boat, it’s so you, it may just be my imagination, but I see you as a cross between Terry Thomas and Leslie Phillips :D

    Looks a lovely boat. Had a couple over the years, 1st one had a dubious name and always said we would change it but never got around to it. They say it's bad luck to change a boats name in nautical circles.
