Hello once again ,Iam still awaiting some imput from anyone who reads the blog (if anyone does)!!!
Chalky was lifted out for a quick power wash to the hull and dropped back again in september.It was suprising the amount of groth that had attached itself around the prop area considering I do a fair amount of motoring .
Weather has been fairly good through the summer so I have been pottering around the Blackwater quite frequently .I have a mate who has a Steadfast 24 motor sailor and we go about together ,meeting up in the evening for meals and a possible drink or two, then putting the world to right!
Last week we spent a night in Tollesbury marina for comfort as the weather seems to be cooling down now.Next day waiting for the afternoon tide as there is bar at the mouth of the marina we took a stroll up to the village and visited the beautiful church of St.Mary`s dating back 1090ad. and viewing some of the fine houses that are tucked away.
The tide is high, so we are off back to our home port and prepare for our next trip.
Bye for now,
Chalky.

Returning from The Isles of Scilly I was pleased to meet up with Summer Wine anchored in Barn Pool.
ReplyDeleteCrispin of Beaulieu is revelling in her new coppercoat antifoul and her feathering prop.
The Skeg was reinforced last winter by welding a 3" by 1/4" strap undernerneath. Very little weed growth this year and sailing performance much improved.
Hi, Having just bought a Halamtic 880 I was looking for other owners to gather any advice...... See Pferd is still on land at the moment, the lower steering bearing is very stiff - is this fixable or shall I just keep soaking it in Duck Oil and keep it moving??? Is it worth fitting a feathering prop while shes out? its my first sailer, so I`m keen to get her in the water as soon as poss.
