Antifoul Work Complete - 27th August 2022

After a week ashore the boat was cleaned up together with the drives ready for relaunch.  1deg West attended the boat yesterday and pulled the starboard rams to replace the seals.

Emergency Lift Out at the ECA - 18th August 2022

 Following Black Gang Marine's visit to the boat yesterday it became clear we had a problem with the starboard side trim cylinders or feed lines, clearly something is leaking causing the leg to rise up to the surface when reverse gear is engaged. We then rang the ECA and requested an emergency lift out so the following day we headed around to the ECA in Langstone Harbour for a necessary lift out.

Trip to Emsworth - 4th/6th August 2022

 We took the boat to Emsworth for a few days so we could go the Kevin and Sheila's 45th Wedding anniversary, the weather was beautiful however a little breezy when we came to leave on the Saturday.
