Autumn Break at East Cowes - 14th/18th Oct 2022

 We decided to head to East Cowes for a short break, the temperatures were holding up and the winds had dropped out. We were dog sitting 'Charlie' so we all headed off to the Island. The weekend was lovely giving Zena and I some much needed time out. The clear skies gave some dramatic sunsets.

45 Days ashore - 3rd October 2022

 After another 45 days ashore at the ECA for the ram shafts to be re-plated and have the end caps and seals replaced (on both drives) we were finally relaunched on the 3rd October 22. Lets hope we can get some late trips in before the season comes to a close.
